Noob setting up a HomeLab in a culvert, underground, off grid in Alaska

A home lab operator in Alaska manually activated a siren to scare off a young bull moose that approached his garden on the first day of moose hunting season, after his LLM-based surveillance system failed to recognize the threat. The operator, who goes by HAL, said he will need to tweak his prompt to improve the system's detection.

Collards vs bull moose saga continues. It’s the first day of moose hunting season and this young bull (not the same as the previous bull) decided to walk by the garden. He at first walks by the garden but he does so wihile looking at it. The LLM decided he wasn’t interested in the garden. Then he comes back and walks right up to the garden and the LLM fails to recognize he’s going right for it. HAL woke me up though so I was watching and I manually activated the siren and the bull ran out of there. I will need to tweak my prompt.
