Discussion responses

Call with user about cloud/storage options

Reached out to Matt Barnette and Lawry for comment on Steve Wagner to Open Options.  Will update github, and Dan as I hear from them.

Did run through of Zoom w/ Scanlan for tomorrow.

Responded to several emails/discussions from students w/ questions.

I connected up the Dahua intercom, I had difficulty updating the VTH tablet/inside station's firmware (it was not recognized as valid by the VTH), but US support  is investigating correct US version and will get back with me.

I am working on installer tools guide tonight as things calm down and I can focus.

ai.ipvm.com now has "YOLOv3 Objects", and both Objects & Faces have the GPU RAM-releasing bug fixed. @John you can test objects now on the site. This PR overhaul got rid of SQS and moved models into subprocess shell calls to make this happen. Moving from SQS fixed a lot of job start/check/cancel bugs (SQS is cool, but way more finicky than I'd thought).

There's still some small bugs & cleanup to do, I'll be tackling that today & tomorrow. Should have most/all the basics for server done for v1 tomorrow.

Went over tests that need to be done with Ethan - Setup/updated/mounted Cameras for the Bandwidth vs Frame rate test, recorded bandwidth for different frame rates/smart codecs. Had to do some troubleshooting because the 8MP cameras were capping at 15fps.

Finished reading through the pertinent advanced React guides.  Also finished working through the tutorial, and began going through some of the extra exercises that build on it.  I will likely finish these tomorrow.

Installed and customized (generally set up) more developer tools for work laptop.

Discussed some general site permission and access stuff (which resources are "protected") with Ethan and Scanlan.  Also discussed plans for the rest of the week with regards to testing and the new course coming up.

Completed a short ES6 tutorial.

Continued going through the React/Redux tutorial.
