Do you make your bed? No. It seems like a fairly stupid ritual to me. I'm the only person who sees it. I don't want to spend 5 to 10 minutes in the morning straightening it out, to then have to undo it when I'm going to bed. I tend to snug every blanket I own bundled on me, so "making the bed" is an ordeal.

Favorite number? 13

If you could go back to school, would you? I am considering it. Getting a masters could help me move up in my career a lot and I really enjoy going to school, as weird as that may sound. But I'm also at a point in my life where I'm taking a serious look at what I need to retire, and I'm wondering if I wouldn't rather focus my energy and funds on generating income streams.

Can you parallel park? Surprisingly, yes. I failed parallel parking both times I took my driving test, but years later I was attending college on a campus with limited parking. So I decided to give it a try to save me having to walk and what do you know I can. (Still don't much like to though.)

Do you think aliens are real? Yes. I think the universe is vast enough that it is arrogant to assume our planet is the only one capable of sustaining intelligent life. I also give fairies and cryptids the same consideration so take that with a grain of salt.

Can you drive a manual car? I understand the concept, in practice I was told that learning wrecks the transmission and the only person I knew who could wouldn't teach me unless I dropped the cash for a new one.

What’s your guilty pleasure? My big one right now is VR. I got introduced at a party and I'm absolutely hooked. Saved up for months to buy a headset.

Tattoos? 4, a dragonfly, kanji, crystal ball and a chibi grim reaper.

Favorite color? Purple, silver, black and blue

Do you like puzzles? Sometimes. I enjoy doing them, but my adhd makes it difficult to finish them, and then they make me feel guilty.

Any phobias? Crickets (thank you Texas drought/flood combo) and clowns (thank you Stephen King.)

Favorite childhood sport? Lightsaber duels. (I was not terribly popular at the religious academy where I spent my early education.) I actually spent quite a bit of time in private play/stimming and never really got the social aspects of sports down, and I hate playing most of the sports games. Oh wait. Archery is a sport. Definitely archery.

Do you talk to yourself? Yes. When I start answering myself it's a good indication that I need to engage in some socialization.

I sat in the laboratory with a 3000w inverter in my hands, silently chanting: "Three-phase output power control…" Suddenly, there was an exclamation next to me:

"What? Three-phase output control!"

The laboratory was in an uproar. Researchers looked at each other in astonishment, as if I had just said some shocking secret. An elderly engineer with white hair and wearing a lab coat stared at me in disbelief: "Isn't this the new energy technology concept proposed recently? Even experts are still discussing how to optimize the power control of inverters. You have actually mastered the actual operation?" The laboratory director came over with a solemn expression, apparently reporting up through the communication equipment. Soon, experts from the Energy Technology Research Institute, representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and industry leaders rushed over. The experts brought thick technical documents, seemingly to witness this "unworldly talent" with their own eyes.

"Young man," the head of the technical group pushed his glasses, his expression solemn, "you don't need to continue testing. We have decided to hire you exceptionally. Talents like you should not be researchers, but should stand at the forefront of technology and lead the direction for the entire energy industry." The representative of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also praised: "Your contribution to the future energy field can be described as a milestone in technological revolution! If you are not satisfied with the position of the research institute, my director position can be given to you!" The surrounding engineers and researchers have long cast envious eyes. Some even whispered, guessing whether I was a direct disciple of some hidden scientist. I just shook my head calmly and shrugged, with a slight smile on my lips: "Well, it's rare to see."

Should the story end here? Of course not! Things are far from that simple. A few days later, I stood in the control room of the National Energy Research Center, surrounded by unsolved energy allocation problems and power grid scheduling algorithms waiting to be optimized. I originally thought that sitting in the high position of technology leader, I could easily use inverter technology to conquer all energy management problems. However, when I really began to face these complex power demands and energy transmission problems, I found that things were not as simple as I imagined. "The stability of multi-energy grid connection… intelligent load balancing of smart grids…" I looked at the complex power flow diagrams on the screen with my brows furrowed. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind me: "Do you really think that 3000w inverter is the ultimate weapon?" I turned around abruptly and saw an elegant middle-aged scientist. He walked towards me with a smile, holding a technical manual annotated with complex circuit diagrams in his hands. "Inverter technology," he said softly, "is just the beginning."

I was stunned. What's the situation? Is the peak of the energy revolution still far from coming?

From that day on, I began to study the mysterious technical manual day and night. However, as time went by, I found that these so-called "ultimate solutions" were nothing. Those complex circuit diagrams and algorithms became clear to me, as if I was born to understand them. The pen in my hand was almost automatically flying on the whiteboard, and the derivation steps kept pouring out, as if with divine help.

In less than a week, I completely mastered the entire manual, and every design and every innovative idea was clear to me. Then, on a sunny afternoon, I stood in front of the laboratory, and the last technical difficulty had been solved. I leisurely stretched and felt that the research and development during this period was really too easy.

"Well, is this the so-called ultimate optimization of energy transmission?" I said to myself, with a confident smile on the corner of my mouth, "It's really unsatisfactory."

Just as I was about to throw away my pen and leave casually, the laboratory suddenly began to vibrate slightly, and all the data streams on the display stopped. In an instant, a light burst out of the experimental equipment, enveloping the entire room in a strange atmosphere.

"What's the situation?" I frowned, although the scene in front of me was shocking, I was still calm. At this moment, the mysterious scientist appeared again. He looked at me in disbelief: "You…have you solved all the core problems of energy management?"

I shrugged indifferently: "Yes, it's nothing special. It just feels like ordinary practice."

The scientist stared at me in shock: "Impossible! These problems cannot be completely solved even by top scientific research teams. You actually solved them all in just a few days!"

"Oh, I see," I smiled indifferently, "I probably have a unique understanding of energy technology."

At this moment, the entire laboratory was wrapped in a powerful electromagnetic energy, and I was once again drawn into the light. When I regained consciousness, I found myself standing in a magnificent energy technology space, surrounded by complex circuits, sensors and energy flows, as if in the universe of energy science and technology. The scientist was still following me, excited beyond words: "This is the ultimate world of energy technology! Only the top geniuses can enter, and you…you will become the master of this field!"

I shook my head gently, completely at ease: "Is this the ultimate field of energy technology? It's nothing." I looked up at the countless floating circuit diagrams and energy flows, as if they were all waiting for me to dominate. I smiled lightly and waved my hand, all the difficulties were instantly straightened out, and the whole space was surrendered to me.

"From now on, this is my world," I said softly, with a firm gaze full of infinite confidence. The scientist could no longer speak, he could only look up at me, his eyes full of awe. Thus, I stood at the pinnacle of energy technology, overlooking everything. And the initial inverter experiment was just a trivial episode I casually described.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in surveillance is a theme which occurs in many sci-fi movies, but it’s quickly becoming a reality in many parts of the world. AI is being used to sort through huge amounts of video data, much quicker than human eyes possibly could, to identify wanted criminals and other potential hazards. Whether that makes the world a safer place or a wee bit scarier, depends on how much you trust the people with the technology.AI Equipped Body CamsU.S. police are working with tech companies to introduce an AI component to their body cams in order to help them identify wanted persons, such as suspects or missing children. The algorithm they employ monitors the camera footage, and then alerts the officer filming when it detects something – or someone - of interest. The officer is in control of how they act on the information.There have been issues raised, such as concerns about privacy and so-called ‘false stops.’ It sounds unnerving, but the reality of the implementation is not as far from current reality as some people would like to think. Most people are already included in facial recognition databases somewhere in the world. Police are currently able to search using data such as Driver’s License photos and mug shots. Where the new technology differs from these ‘classic’ approaches is that they offer a more sophisticated searching system, the ability to sort through data on the go, and real-time alerts that can be acted on by officers.The system is not cheap. As well as substantial Research and Development costs, there are obvious administrative and IT maintenance costs. Not for the first time, Police departments are coming to terms with the facts that, to operate in these new ways, they must look at their budgets in a new light. Officers are already equipped with mobile phones, which use relatively inexpensive plans. As well as their police issue radio devices. This new facility, however, requires the transmission of literally hundreds of images a day over mobile networks and consumes, on average 6GB per day of 4G mobile broadband data.What AI Can Help AvoidCurrently, manual identification is often a lengthy, imprecise process that is open to individual bias and human limitations like boredom when it comes to targeting possible security threats. Often the security process includes scans of bags and body scans, multiple checkpoints, visually matching ID to facial features, and even manual pat-downs that some find extremely confronting.Another concern is that people who pose a threat to security can easily avoid detection from human security by disguising their features, and by slipping past distracted security personnel. It is impossible for human eyes to maintain watchful attention without ever losing focus.Artificial Intelligence can make the security process easier for most people, by flagging potential people of concern by the use of facial recognition. Other possible future innovations could measure heart rate and stress levels to find people with unusual physical responses for further screening.Chinese SecurityWhile Western countries often hold back and engage in lengthy debate about whether something should be done, China tends to simply go ahead and do it. Chinese companies have been using facial recognition as a feature of security protocols for some time, but have pulled ahead of the pack by also employing early forms of AI to analyze the data that the cameras and software capture.Some Chinese railway police have smart glasses that feature built-in facial recognition technology to allow them to identify suspects in the crowd of commuters. Facial recognition technology is being used to keep an eye on citizens, from watching for suspects to spotting minor infractions like jay-walking.SenseTime, a Chinese AI company creating and employing security systems in their own workplace, can scan the street and come back with information on the people and things in the footage – the technology offers an

approximate age, gender and clothing of the people, and descriptions of the cars and their license plates as they pass by. The more data the system has, the better it is able to identify the people in the footage – the system only gives general estimates of people in the public, whereas, in the sensitive office, people are personally identified as they arrive at work and monitored as they move around the building. Safe Or Scary?The combination of technological sophistication and governmental support means that China has become an early adopter of these AI security systems, but it seems as though the U.S. might not be too far behind. If you ask people involved in the projects, they are only intended to keep citizens safe and are simply a mobile and more sophisticated extension of similar software that has been in use for some time.These systems are still very reliant on human checks, simply providing an alert that is analyzed and acted upon by a trained officer. However, the potential for abuse and error has been raised as an area of concern. Balancing privacy with increased ability to track persons of interest has always been a delicate balancing act, and the line between the two priorities could get a lot thinner as this technology develops.

Facial Recognition: The Future of Intelligent Surveillance

What if your security system could not only monitor your property but also recognize who’s on it in real-time? Imagine a world where you could rely on your surveillance cameras to identify potential threats, increase safety, and make critical decisions with the click of a button. Does this sound too futuristic? It's not. This future is already here, thanks to innovations in facial recognition technology combined with POE (Power over Ethernet) cameras.

In today’s fast-paced world, security is more than just about cameras capturing footage. It’s about intelligent systems that analyze and act on that data. From preventing crimes before they happen to automating processes in industries, facial recognition technology is changing the way we look at surveillance. And with POE cameras, the integration of facial recognition has never been easier, more cost-effective, or more reliable.

The Customer’s Pain Point: A Better, Smarter Solution for Surveillance

Traditional surveillance systems are often reactive. They capture footage, but it’s up to the operator to review hours of footage to find a potential security threat. This is time-consuming, inefficient, and leaves room for human error. Even with the latest camera technology, security teams are left scrambling to catch a crime after it’s happened, rather than preventing it.

Businesses, especially those in industries like retail, healthcare, and government, need smarter systems that don’t just record footage—they need systems that can make decisions for them. This is where POE cameras with facial recognition come into play.

Imagine having a security camera that can instantly identify a person’s face from a database of employees or known threats. Think about how much time that could save. Instead of manually sifting through hours of footage, a POE camera integrated with facial recognition can instantly alert you if someone enters a restricted area, or if a known person is spotted at the premises.

With the surge in demand for better, more efficient surveillance, POE cameras with facial recognition offer an elegant solution to these issues, providing faster identification and greater automation.

How Facial Recognition Works with POE Cameras

The magic happens when two technologies come together: POE cameras and facial recognition software. Let’s break down how they work together to provide a smarter, more efficient surveillance solution.

POE Camera Technology: Power and Data in One Cable POE cameras are powered and transmit data over a single Ethernet cable. This makes installation simpler, more affordable, and reduces clutter by eliminating the need for separate power sources and network cables. In many cases, this setup results in lower installation costs and quicker setup times compared to traditional IP cameras that require both power and data lines.The flexibility of POE cameras allows for remote monitoring and scaling of surveillance systems without worrying about additional power outlets or complex wiring. The real-time data transmission ensures that security staff can instantly access footage and make swift decisions.

Facial Recognition: Analyzing Footage in Real-Time Facial recognition technology works by analyzing and mapping key features of a person’s face, such as the distance between the eyes, the shape of the nose, and the contours of the jaw. This data is then compared to a database of known faces for instant identification.When paired with POE cameras, this technology allows for real-time monitoring of an area. As soon as a person’s face is detected, the system can alert security personnel, provide information about the individual, or even trigger automated responses, such as locking doors or disabling access.

Real-World Benefits of Facial Recognition in Surveillance

1. Enhanced Security

The main reason businesses and organizations invest in advanced surveillance technologies is security. Facial recognition provides an additional layer of protection. By automatically identifying known threats or unauthorized individuals, it enhances the effectiveness of surveillance systems. For example, if a restricted individual enters a high-security area, the system can trigger an immediate response, such as alerting personnel or locking down specific zones.

2. Faster Incident Response

In traditional systems, a security officer may have to manually review hours of footage to identify a suspect. With facial recognition, the system instantly cross-references the facial data with a pre-existing database, flagging potential threats in real-time. This allows for quicker responses and the prevention of incidents before they escalate.

3. Improved Efficiency

For large organizations or places like airports, universities, or retail outlets, manually monitoring surveillance footage can be overwhelming. Facial recognition can streamline this process, automatically sorting and analyzing footage. Security teams can focus on more critical tasks, such as responding to alerts or investigating potential risks, rather than searching through hours of footage.

4. Data-Driven Decisions

Facial recognition systems offer not just security, but also valuable data insights. Businesses can track foot traffic, monitor employee attendance, and even gather information about customer behavior. This data can inform smarter business decisions, improve customer service, and optimize operations.

5. Cost Savings Over Time

While POE cameras with facial recognition may seem like a larger upfront investment, the long-term savings are significant. With reduced labor costs, improved security, and greater operational efficiency, businesses can see a substantial return on investment over time. The ease of installation and lower maintenance costs associated with POE cameras also contribute to the overall value.

Addressing Privacy Concerns: Ensuring Ethical Use of Technology

With great power comes great responsibility. As facial recognition technology becomes more widespread, it’s crucial to address privacy concerns. Many people worry about how their facial data is being used and whether they are being monitored without their knowledge or consent.

For businesses implementing these systems, it’s essential to be transparent about how the technology works. Educating customers and employees about facial recognition and its benefits—such as enhanced security and quicker responses to threats—can help alleviate concerns. Moreover, ensuring that data is securely stored and only used for its intended purpose is key to maintaining trust.

How to Get Started with POE Cameras and Facial Recognition

Are you ready to implement a smarter, more efficient surveillance system with POE cameras and facial recognition? Here are a few steps to help you get started:

Assess Your Needs Identify areas where you need enhanced security and efficiency. Are you looking to monitor employee access? Track customer behavior in a retail environment?
