Local VLM auto-labels a window camera to build a dataset you own

The author points a webcam out his office window at a local Qwen2.5-VL-7B (4-bit, MLX) that drafts labels (person/vehicle/wildlife); he confirms or corrects each frame, building an owned labeled dataset for fine-tuning and querying — all on an Arduino Uno Q, nothing leaves the house. Thesis: data sovereignty — cloud cameras rent you back a view of your own yard; as models commoditize, owning queryable local data is the durable edge.
