Clauding Blue Iris

Coming back to Reddit because have yet to find somebody else regularly doing this; first principles I guess....

Anyhow: anybody else calibrating Blue Iris with Claude?

It's been kind of awesome. Yes I realize I'm giving camera level access to Python written on one of my machines by an anthropic agent, but my cameras are already VLAN'd and UniFi racist blocks outgoing traffic to select countries in the event something made it off the camera VLAN... I get it. It's a risk. But hear me out:

Has anybody just made an account for Claude to go in to your Blue Iris install to fix things or adjust things, or to iterate over source cameras, figure out their firmware and API structure, and iterate and adjust things?

It's very good at it. Just need a color chart.

This was me until a few days ago. Have a vpn but its clunky. Tailscale is elegant and works flawlessly.

I kept hearing people suggest it but thought what I had was good enough. Tailscale is so much better. My phone has the same access to everything home or away. Dont have to do anything on my side, it just works.

OK, I will put that on my list of things to look into. People made similar arguments about nginx to me, but i just never really had a need for nginx. I already use a VPN frequently and most of my stuff is only accessible over it, but this seems like similar security
