"Do you recognize this lady" *blurs face*
These criminals don't deserve to have privacy
Coming onto others property to steal, ye they should have their faces plastered up on bill boards
OP literally said he is afraid of liability. What a sad world lol
@@unsolicitedditkapics9722 The issue is she didn't take anything because he talked through the camera. If she is a known local thief, you don't need a frivolous lawsuit from them. Let police add it to their case. Serve her a trespass notice(do not wait for police to move against her, they could move very slow). If she is notified that she would be trespassing, she is breaking the law by just stepping onto the property, no excuse of being at the wrong house or anything else would work.
well, you can see a large back tattoo. probably more identifying than a face
well if places like 4chan exist, she'll end up dead the very next day sadly, or within the hour, people are more unhinged than this lady out there, especially on the internet@@unsolicitedditkapics9722
THAT CAUTION SIGN IS SO SCI FI LOVE IT.
It’s reflective at night too 😎 I love it
If the cops are "building a case against her" that means they want to nail her for some big felonies. Sucks for the people she steals from and I'm sure y'all wish they'd hurry up but they want to make sure they have an air-tight case to send her away for a LONG LONG time.
You’re spot on, that’s basically what they said to me. It isn’t ideal but I get it
@@James_Rivers Or she is a snitch and that`s what they say about the ones they want to protect.
So don't get me wrong, I totally get wanting to build a big case to get a repeat offender off the streets. But why not arrest her for the crimes and give her a chance to make the right decision before it becomes a felony? Seems like it would protect more citizens and have a better effect of rehabilitating people. If she doesn't change, it's easy to use past cases against her to show she shouldn't be in our communities. It's the same with employers. They can't just keep holding negative information against you until they have enough to fire you. They need to give written and verbal warnings on the situation a number of times before they can take drastic action.
@@stackit303i really doubt that a porch pirate tweaker has any information valuable enough to the police to keep her out of jail
Not a good enough excuse.... whats to say next time someone gets hurt!
You should also contact your local postmaster at your local post office. Messing with the mail is a federal offense and the postmasters do deal with it when you report it.
its not mail because its not from USPS, stupid but its how it works
@@truerandomchannel The Postal service does package deliveries as well, also here in canada the postal service works with delivery services because most companies will leave your package at the closest post office for pickup if your not home when they try to deliver.
Actually the US Postal Police told me than do little about what they consider mail tampering.
Keep believing that myth. I've had Christmas cards with money stolen and they caught the group who had them, guess what their sentence was... community service with no financial refund to those who they stole from. SMH.
@@ChrisLoewsucks to suck
It warms my heart to see somebody taking action against these bottom feeding scumbags.
You've definitely got my subscription 👍👍
Why are you people so berserk over petty theft? I think it's pyschology, and you guys are jealous you can't do it yourselves.
@@andyk939 Because if we dont, they do it again
@@andyk939 i am a person who is at the lowest of the low, (Mexico)
Screw the people who steal, we don't have money and they steal from us, it doesn't matter if the person they rob has a lot of money, you have no forgiveness.
@@andyk939 found the felon
@@ghoulbuster1 ha good guess but my record is clean as a whistle. Sorry I just don’t get crazy worked up over petty theft. I’ve come to realize people who do are just jealous they are to scared to do it themselves or mad they can’t figure out how to get away with it.
Tweaker walk
Indeed.
Crazy hand and arm movements give it away also lol
It’s like the meth loosens the hips, shoulders and neck.
I wonder if I’d feel looser in the morning if I blasted some when I woke up…
If you know you know 😂
@@velvetjones8634well, youd only have to sleep like every 3 days lol
That robot needs a speaker to blast some deep growling siren noises xD
Like those flying drones in Oblivion, including the sound when they start engaging.
Haven't seen oblivion in a long time, but those drone sounds instantly popped into my head.
Or some Britney Spears
Nah obviously has to be the Turret voices from Portal.
For the pepperballs, you need to hit the target with a burst of 8-10 rounds. I work in corrections, btw.
With an aggressor I have faith in your experience. But with trespassing...one crazy Stanley mixed with pepper will have them off and running. He's firing a robot, not attempting to subdue. Right? Maybe.
Yes, you’re probably right. One shot will most likely send someone running. But then again, if thats the case theres no reason to use pepperball, just use a regular paintball or the rubber less lethal
@@ZuluBlackout"breaker balls", glass coated in rubber. They're fast, solid and leave nasty bruises. The name comes from their ability to break windows, the balls themselves don't break. You could mix them in with pepper and rubber, just for fun.
Definitely this, more punishment = better!
@@ZuluBlackoutNo you're missing the point lol
Imagine getting hit by a dozen paintballs AND having pepper dust flying through the air all around you
They're not very useful one or two rounds at a time, but if you fire them at someone full auto they're going to be messed up
The bot is super cool, but it feels like you could make a covert pepperball (or rubber ball) shooter and disguise it as another camera. Since the issue is porch pirates, so they'll always come to the front of your house.
I've always wanted to make a gun mounted on the camera, it would be a toy gun that looks real, but I'd make it sound real and maybe install things in the ground that make dirt fly up like in the movies
I think that 2 camouflage sentry turrets will be more effective.
Pepperball pro tips: They are intended for pretty high-velocity deployment, *and* also intended to be shot at the upper chest *over and over*. That's how they reach claimed effectiveness.
Another tool to deter thefts is a bait package. Some people make glitter bombs and such.
Mine is different. My package has old piss in an open or loosely closed container inside. Handling will very likely tip the piss container and start soaking the box. Some might even drip outside the box. Hopefully some of it will leak onto the criminal. Some may also wet car upholstery while they drive. The cool part is that by the time they realize what happened it's too late. I have put a few out by the front door. No takers, yet.
Fill the container with animal feces (cat works best) and urine - NEVER your own. Then rig up a discharge device that's linked to a geofeced trigger. The moment they leave the area it detonates and fills the vehicle with the contents of the package.
I'd prefer explosives, but toxic cat crap is passable.
Just gave me an idea, old piss inside a used light bulb and a box full of rocks
I, too, have used curdled urine for defensive purposes.
Legends foretold of a piss master
Throw a few cigarette butts in there it makes it smell much worse, dont ask how i know
Holy shit, i thought this is some big RUclipsr like William Osman or Michael Reeves that i didn't know. No, this is just some dude with 1,7k subs. This is like top tier quality video and content.
You earned yourself a new subscriber!
The reason some 'paintballs' hurt way more is because they sometimes don't break. They hurt a lot more when they don't break on impact.
Freeze them, they need to hurt as a deterrent.
Or just use marbles. 🙂
@@Stambo59 What?? And end up doing time for injuring a shithead thief? I get the sentiment, but potentially counterproductive for the home owner.
@@northlandrider5396thats why crime is on the rise. Not allowed to injure someone causing injury to yourself.
totally agree with you.@@ClumsyCars
I’ve been playing paintball over 20 years - freezing paintballs is a myth. The balls get way too brittle and usually will break in the barrel of the gun. If one does shoot out it won’t hurt as much.
The pepper balls are meant to be used as fast as you can dump them out to cloud the area heavily. Upper chest impact point is most effective. It's expensive to have those loaded up.

you can perhaps add a laser with diffusion filter for maximum terror
They'll wish for the simple days of glitter after visiting you!
PB player here. You should find an old Q-Loader to feed the gun faster. Those old style hoppers are notorious for mis-feeding.
This project rocks.
Ooo I’ll look into that, thanks for the tip
@@James_Rivers also, using an HPA tank will let you control the regulated air output much more consistently - like for example, calibrating the marker to shoot at somewhere between 325-400fps & have it hold that set velocity w/ a per shot delta of less than +/- 5fps for at least 50 shots without ambient temperature causing wild fluctuations (which CO2 tanks are subject to).
This will let you dial in a FPS that lets you run it spicy, but won't cause the pepper balls to break - with the added benefit of letting you shoot extremely fast full-auto without freezing the action (like CO2 often does at high fire rates).
BTW 300fps is the most common limit that fields enforce all markers to shoot at or below, but indoor reball fields (rubber balls) often will make it 265fps or so. IMO I say you should use at least 325fps for your deployment application lol
@@von... good to know, that’ll be helpful! Sounds like I need to get a chronograph and HPA tank 😎
I highly disagree on using a Q-loader. They're known for putting loads of pressure on paint, and could potentially smash the pepper balls before they can get into the chamber, assuming you don't smash the pepperballs and gas yourself just trying to load the Q-Loader...
Not to mention they don't make them anymore and are hard to find.
If I were to recommend an electronic loader, a Dye Rotor or a Spire might be my choice.
@@normang3668yeah qloader sucked 20 years ago and it still sucks today.
Under 200 subs... and the content is like the same shit I watch all day anyway. Good stuff. I was very entertained.
appreciate the support, glad you liked it!
Who says fighting crime can’t be fun? After you fully develop that monster, what about building a companion for it that collects the packages and moves them to a safe location.
LMAO this is an easier and more ethical solution
Or just put a package box in the porch like they do in Japan. Cheap solution.
lol yes but ethics don’t get views. Is there a way we can make the package box consume the perpetrator?
As an OC/CS instructor, always wash with cold water. Try to avoid the OC/CS from going to "other" regions of the body. Also for the eyes and skin, use baby shampoo as opposed to others. Most exposures will burn for a day to two even after a few showers.
If that’s you in the photo you are a handsome gentleman.
You should mix in paintballs to mark fleeing vehicles. There might be special die’s that require something other than water to remove like in anti shop lifting or bank cash dye packets. Less usefully a dye blend that has water soluble colour for patrol car visibility but has an invisible dye that doesn’t wash off that’s revealed under Black light or something as evidence that would stay long term.
This is so awesome. A true mash of electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering used to deter trash humans. You're like my hero, dude.
can't wait for the follow up video, this is just so cool, and that sign is just looks like came from a sci-fi movie or so. I love it
Good stuff man! The quality is top tier!!
I can't believe I just found this and can't binge the next part right away. Absolutely despicable!
Love it! Well edited video and cool project, can't wait to see more :)
Thank you!! Mores on the way :)
Absolutely awesome. Five stars. Will watch again.
Big chub.
I need to see this thing rekking some porch pirates, stat. Great video! Reminds me of Stuff Made Here's channel. Subbed!
That’s a huge compliment, thanks! Gonna hopefully have some more interception stuff out soon
Love the detail you put into this purposeful video!
thank you :)
I've been slowly designing a sentry bot myself. A couple of features I plan to add to mine are air horns. These could be the simple canister style, activated my a gear motor turning a cam lobe. And some bright strobing LEDS. These will attract attention as well as scaring and disorienting an intruder. A can of pepperspray/bear spray on the robot could also be used to create a more concentrated cloud in the event they attempt to molest the robot. Bear spray also has a range of 20-40 feet, so it might just be a better solution to the paintball marker since it has similar range and little risk of missing and heading towards someone/something behind the intended target.
Great engineering. Since the pepper ball cloud spreads, a simpler approach is to place pepper balls around the property with radio controlled igniters so when the perp goes on your property, just send an ignite signal to the pepper ball station closest to the perp, or just ignite them all, blanketing your home with pepper spray.
I was no joke working on a device very similar to this but for deterring coyotes instead of people (even using pepper balls for the paintball gun and the Nvidia jetson for edge image processing). Great to see the completed project in all its glory
New sub, this video is awesome for several reasons. The main one for me is how youre using tech to make the world a better place. Busting immoral people is a bonus. I love robots. And systems design is always fun and interesting. I'm not great at math, but I love it.
Thanks, and im really looking forward to more interesting projects!
Haha dw I’m the same way with math. There’s actually a better / simpler way to do some of that math, but that’s for the next video lol
Not to remove from the cool factor of literally having a defense robot, but I think a mounted turret might be a bit easier for home defense. Having a bot on wheels adds more parts that could fail. You could mount it up in your yard for a 360 degree defense, or just on your porch facing out to your gate.
thats insane she felt so free about trespassing.
You will go far on RUclips my man!!
dude how do you only have 74 subs
saw you at opensausebtw
I gotta post more I guess! Thanks for stopping by the booth man
I love this. this is worth the watch
That's pretty cool! Your friends are awesome.
20 years ago I designed a radar/camera tracking system for shipboard protection and the effectors were highly concentrated beam of light and sound. It worked fairly well especially with small boats; it could detect up to 1 1/2 miles and the light had an effective range of 1 mile while the sound had about 1 km range. I wanted to integrate some sort of a less than lethal gun or projectile with the system but the company didn't want to have the liability even though it's designed for a warship.
Pretty far range, that’s awesome. Guess lawyers always have their way lol
Great Video!! Just Subbed.
Your Alarm / Camera system is a LOT like my system.
interesting, does your work with multiple cameras? mine only does one atm but I’m thinking of expanding
she is stealing and its a FACT...show her face and plate to the world. Its not doxing, its justice!
For real. We have video evidence of their crime but the cops won't ever do anything about it. Let people track her down, somebody has to do something to stop these people, they get bolder every time the cops don't do anything
Doxing is doxing
@@_You_Are_Not_Him_ doxing is harm on the innocent...she is not that
@@bobsmith-wg9fz doxing is doxing

New sub. Great work!
I've also worked with the OAK D. It is great!
This is actually high quality content. Not even 1k subs???
Still working my way up there, it’ll happen someday!
@@James_Rivers someday just so happens to be today
Fourth! It was great meeting you at OpenSauce. Very happy to see you release this video
Glad I could finally get it out! Took a bit longer than expected but oh well :) it was good to meet you thanks for sticking around!!
pretty cool man. super impressive
pretty dope stuff. liked and subbed keep it up.
PS if your paint gun can shoot enough rounds it doesn't matter how accurate it is. But it would be a bit messy. You should have it notify you first so you can check the image. And maybe a little shelf target practice would help bring your spirits up.
Will this be open source? I would love to work on something like this and build one myself!
cant wait for more vids. This is awesome and I really cant wait for a real test! muahahaha
SUBBED!! Cant wait to see a real life event!!
I would strongly suggest that you never use any kind of robot to shoot paintballs at somebody who’s stealing because that is highly likely you could take legal action either Sibley or criminal in for booby trapinn your house
You're right, but would making it not automatic fix that. Like if you have to click a button on an app you made to shoot.
I can't wait to see this thing in use
I had to subscribe, surprised you don't have more to be honest! I'm into Robotics and got my Diploma in Mechatronics and Robotics. I hope to do the same things as you! I love gears, I love motors, and I love 3D printing. Very cool video. Scary as hell to see people just walking up so casually and stealing.
I’m a big fan brother! Great video!!
Damn son you is bright lol loved the video thanks for that bro
Nice research and building !
Pretty cool, I had a similar idea when a couple people where looking around my property a few weeks ago, I planned on using a wyze camera since it has a tracking feature but this is much more in depth
You earned a sub in less than 30 seconds, great job 👏
my favorite type of projects :)
Good stuff, keep it up ser.
Props for testing the effects of the rubber/pepper balls. I too have taken those with my now 14yo daughter maniacally laughing as she pulled the trigger. I don’t think I need to tell you how effective these are for home defense.
Man we all need one of these.
Great work guy
This is awesome
I wanna see that thing on action !!! So ready for those footages!!!😅
i see your amcrest PTZ camera! i'm super impressed with that company and i've spent a lot of money with them. if you pay their monthly fee you get human detection and you can even get ID tracking. the system can blacklist a face (like being banned from a casino) and you can even set it up to trigger an I/O pin to run an alarm (or something else) when a specific face is detected. the main thing is they have legit customer service. they are not a native english speaking company, but i haven't had any problems communicating with them
This one has onboard vehicle and human detection! You can set up triggers based on detection. It has face detection but not recognition. Their products are great
I got a the highest grade in my HS (97) on my Trig final and you were going over my head...but very cool stuff.
only 5.4 subs?! You|ve got a great potential, keep it UP!!
I'd really like to see your bot in action,, can't wait
I love this kind of videos
cool stuff 👍👍👍
That is awesome
Rube Goldberg and I salute you! Pure genius!
So long as it was manually confirmed like your robot, for sake of not counting as a booby trap, I feel like a great alternative/addition to this, would be a pop-up turret on your porch, disguised as an Amazon box. Could even have the mechanism activated by them trying to lift it (and failing since it's bolted/lead weighted to the ground).
Alternative to my alternative, just have a box ready to blast out a cloud of pepper-spray. Sends you an alert when anyone attempts to pick it up, with the camera feed from your porch, and the option to fire it off.
My buddy and I have been wanting to make an autonomous paintball sentry robot to use in actual paintball matches, and I wish that we could get access to your code to have a baseline. Ours would definitely be more complex because we would need to distinguish from friendlies and combatants, but I bet that the code you have for this would give us a great foundation.
Is that a razor atv? I strapped a paintball gun to my cnc machine once, but that was to make a printer
It’s a generic Chinese one, there’s a few brands that make ‘em! This one was sold as a MotoTec, but it looks pretty similar to the Razors
Thanks for sharing subscribed
Great content man!
sub earned my dude. I wanna see this thing in action
commenting just to prove i was in at the ground floor on this channel. this guy is going places.
this video alone deserves more than 402 subs...
You were right.
That's so bad ass. Could you imagine the possibilities. That shit can't be legal in the Geneva convention that's some scary shit
Great video
Loving the Police bumper sticker, like that makes you more trusting somehow 😂
Nice work man. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hey, I saw you at that opensauce! Nice dude!
I like the first aiming point better. Far superior deterrence when you feel like your junk's going to get shot off.
The Robot could be better with a motor fed Hopper. Dye -LT-R for example to remove feeding issues.
Great Work, keep it up.
I'm assuming you like bots... I mean, a spray nozzle near the porch with the deterrent gas/liquid of your choosing would work too. The packages will be both delivered and purloined at the same spot, so aiming isn't really needed. Having shooty things on moving platforms in general will make hitting the target so much harder than it needs to be.
Another option would have been to sync a stationary turret to shoot at whatever that porch camera is pointing at.
Then again, having an armed robot hunt you is a deterrent on it's own.
💪Engineering👍
i am so exited
meeting you at Open Sauce was pretty cool.
I can't wait to see this bad boy take on some actual porch pirates!!
Property patrolled by robots is the coolest sign i have seen
underrated
James, you should totally see if there’s a First Robotics Competition team in your area of Florida. You’d have a blast being a mentor on the team and your skills would really help the team! It’s a high school robotics competition with about 3000+ teams from around the world. Lots of info about it online if you’re interested, and the stuff you’d learn would be extremely helpful to yourself as well. There’s an entire ecosystem of standardized components used in FRC that could be useful on your robot, plus entire CAD books released by teams plus the code that did the controls for their robot in a given season.
I’ll look into, sounds cool!
@@James_Rivers cool. There’s lots of videos online showing what the competitions are like, every year is a different game so requires a new robot design. If you look up FRC Houston Einstein you’ll see the best teams competing at the pinnacle of their abilities to win the world championship. It’s like a football game sized crowd as at Champs it starts with 560 teams with all of the spectators, probably about 20k people in the Houston convention center watching this, plus thousands watching on Twitch. There’s 2 quite good teams from Florida, FRC Team 180 aka S.P.A.M. and another Team 179 aka Children of the Swamp. Many more Florida teams but those are the ones I’m most familiar with, our team has won a summer offseason competition with 180, very good & cool people.
interesting how you have done the steering, I like it, I have the same chassis which I originally converted to a 50cc petrol Rc car but got sick of it being grossly over powered and went electric, my steering has a 60kg servo mounted in the space in the frame between the wheels.
Since going electric I can run mine with a body as rollovers are not a problem any more, I have a kids ride on truck body for it and I chopped and re welded the chassis to be a lower profile to fit inside the body and its also now running ardupilot rover :)
This is so cool! I live by Pinellas Park and could use one of these! Damn tweakers lol
