Vigil Field Notes

SKU // FN-0.1.2-SHIP

Digital pack · local multi-cam · no cloud NVR · NeuralYogi / Rage Industries

$49 interest waitlist no charge yet notes ≠ software

Paid digital pack from a real household multi-cam pilot — dual USB scars, ESP32-S3 Sense, go2rtc, YOLO, gated alerts, catalog, site Condition. You buy decision support and scars, not installable hub software.

Core thesis: quiet multi-cam beats more cameras. Detect ≠ notify. Parked cars must not page the household into muting you.

TASTE // NOT THE PACK

Parked cars are not news. Health can show car@0.9 while product truth is “nothing interesting happened.” Stack motion gates, parked timers, ignore zones on live stills, and notify only elevated threat — or you train your household to mute you.

The full pack goes deep on dual-USB restart races, Sense night profiles, LLM/YOLO coexistence, IR MOSFET wiring honesty, and ops posture. That’s what $49 is for.

Camera bus honesty

ARCH // DEFAULT

Path	Role
Open IP / PoE / RTSP	Default house architecture — first-class
ESP Sense	Cheap MCU eye — pilot craft path
USB UVC	Valid special case — never the end goal

Frigate users: keep Frigate. Map quiet-alert scars into zones/filters/notify. This is not Frigate install docs.
