bit_user Cryptographic signing of video streams has been a thing for decades. Before AI, people were concerned about more conventional sorts of tampering. As for the Noctua aspect, security cameras do often have an integrated fan. Those can be useful not only for cooling but also de-fogging of the dome or housing. Outdoor cameras sometimes even have an integrated heater, in order to keep them within their specified operating temperature range. Reply

DingusDog Not sure what the point of this is, once you upload those pics anywhere they'll get AI'd anyways. A fool and their money I guess. Reply

They're cryptographically signed so their authenticity can be checked. The common approach to dealing with image authentication is trying to write tools that check for indications that an image is AI-generated (or otherwise tampered with). However, if you knew what camera an image or video came from, then you could check the signature to verify that it really did, and that no tampering had occurred in the meantime. This is important not just for the court of public opinion, but also for evidence presented in legal proceedings. The gap in the chain is that we must presume the camera itself hadn't been tampered with and that its key hadn't been stolen. In the first case, someone could theoretically insert a fraudulent image or video in the camera's imaging pipeline and it'd get signed as if it were what the camera actually saw. In the second case, someone armed with the key and crypto algorithm could use their own tools to sign any image or video without having to do the first thing. Reply

eientei This is stored on the camera’s “immutable, decentralized storage, enabling the origin of the media to be verified independently,” says the Austrian air-cooling specialist. Hold up, I've heard those buzzwords before. They're using a blockchain. Reply
