## 🚀 Getting Started with [SharpAI Aegis](https://www.sharpai.org)

The easiest way to run DeepCamera's AI skills. Aegis connects everything — cameras, models, skills, and you.

- 📷 **Connect cameras in seconds** — add RTSP/ONVIF cameras, webcams, or iPhone cameras for a quick test
- 🤖 **Built-in local LLM & VLM** — llama-server included, no separate setup needed
- 📦 **One-click skill deployment** — install skills from the catalog with AI-assisted troubleshooting
- 🔽 **One-click HuggingFace downloads** — browse and run Qwen, DeepSeek, SmolVLM, LLaVA, MiniCPM-V
- 📊 **Find the best VLM for your machine** — benchmark models on your own hardware with HomeSec-Bench
- 💬 **Talk to your guard** — via Telegram, Discord, or Slack. Ask what happened, tell it what to watch for, get AI-reasoned answers with footage.

### Hardware Acceleration

The shared [`env_config.py`](skills/lib/env_config.py) **auto-detects your GPU** and converts the model to the fastest native format — zero manual setup:

| Your Hardware | Optimized Format | Runtime | Speedup vs PyTorch |
|---------------|-----------------|---------|:------------------:|
| **NVIDIA GPU** (RTX, Jetson) | TensorRT `.engine` | CUDA | **3-5x** |
| **Apple Silicon** (M1–M4) | CoreML `.mlpackage` | ANE + GPU | **~2x** |
| **Intel** (CPU, iGPU, NPU) | OpenVINO IR `.xml` | OpenVINO | **2-3x** |
| **AMD GPU** (RX, MI) | ONNX Runtime | ROCm | **1.5-2x** |
| **Any CPU** | ONNX Runtime | CPU | **~1.5x** |
| **[Google Coral USB Accelerator](skills/detection/yolo-detection-2026-coral-tpu/)** | Edge TPU `.tflite` | ai-edge-litert + libedgetpu | **~4ms flat** |
