Field notes
TurtleVision connects RTSP-enabled IP cameras to a locally running Gemma 4 model through Ollama, with Docker Compose used to start the monitoring service. The page names five target signals, including carapace-up positioning and entrapment, and says installations can use multiple cameras. Text alerts are routed through Twilio, while the site states that image processing remains on facility hardware rather than being sent to a remote service.
