The Watchdog Project: a real-time analysis engine that plugs into the ordinary security cameras already hanging in shelters and homes. it watches sick and disabled dogs during the hours nobody else can. it tracks every animal in the room, reads their state (sleeping, idle, walking, running), analyzes their movements and raises an alarm the moment one of them stays still for too long. in a shelter at 4 AM, those quiet hours are what decide outcomes. yesterday, creator fees from our Short Spine Syndrome coin helped two SSS dogs. today we're launching something bigger. we've actually been working on this project for weeks, and we decided the right time to release it is now. the meta right now runs on sick animals and the jokes around them. we're all having fun, winning, losing. but a part of this should actually reach the animals the meta is named after. we should be of some real use. that's why $WATCHDOG is here. what's already built and running: • night-vision detection tuned for the hardest case in computer vision: a dark dog curled up asleep on a dark blanket • persistent tracking: every animal gets an identity (K9-01, K9-02...) that survives even camera pans • stillness watch: a per-animal immobility clock with staged escalation: on-screen warning, red flag, audible alarm • motion sentinel: anything that starts moving gets locked and labeled in under a second • activity pulse: the room's movement rendered as a live vital sign. every number on screen is a real measurement, nothing is faked • all of it runs 24/7 on an ordinary cpu, because shelters don't have gpu servers you can watch the engine operate live on our stream and read the code on github. there is a dedicated fund wallet for this project. all $WATCHDOG creator fees accumulate there and go to one thing: development. camera integration, field hardware, free deployment. voluntary donations are welcome too. fund wallet: 5r6Lqi2EaHgeeyTHsdZUcARJH1xFhm4K9kXpfzwxVkMV when v1.0 ships, the software will be distributed free of charge to shelters, rescue organizations and owners of sick dogs. applications open on our website at launch. github: https://github.com/watchdog-engine/watchdog-engine website: https://watchdogproject.live $WATCHDOG
