Unifi AI Port- Works great!

Arjun said:
Upon further testing; Daytime to evening the AI Port works almost flawlessly; however, at night - despite nailing the settings for nighttime LPR, the AI Port fails to pick up any license plates; makes no sense whatsoever; I have the camera settings dialed virtually perfectly; I even have HLC on. I can freeze frame each car and see the license plate perfectly. I am recording at 30fps.

Is this AI port with your single onvif cam in protect or BI?

That's unfortunate. It is like the Unifi AI Port wants to detect a vehicle first before looking for a license plate.

Exactly my thoughts as well - it did not record anything between 7:48pm and 6AM EST this morning even though the License Plate numbers are Crystal Clear.

I have some 5442's laying around and am contemplating on getting a CK2 Plus running protect with the AI port and giving it a go. It would be a 3-4 camera max system at a camp that the family would have access to. I'm just weighing cost vs. ease of use compared to setting up a nvr system.

I wish I can recommend the AI Port but night time performance disappoints presently

So I'm still stuck with go full unifi with crappy night cameras or go nvr and risk annoying falses?

I haven't tried a unifi camera for lpr; their lpr offering is somewhere around $400 to $500 and its zoom is no where close to the z12 camera

You can try blue iris and rekor scout
 
At this time, AI Port DOES NOT work with onvif cameras in night time for LPR

And this is why AI Port sucks with ONVIF

Therefore, at night, my LPR camera cannot pickup plates due to not being able to seeing moving vehicles at night; I can force color on the camera, but then the plates become too reflective. I'm forced to continue using Rekor Scout at night until Ubiquiti comes with a fix (if they even plan to) for this mess

The reviews for this thing went from "its great" to "it sucks" in a hurry.

Does the OP @steve9380 not run LPR at night or something?

I thought about returning the second AI Port I received the other day for the Ubiquiti cameras I have in my setup; but I am reluctant to return them as it does a good job with facial recognition and other anomaly detection(s). I didn't want my Blue Iris system to take toll on system resources when Rekor Scout runs simultaneously in the background; daytime AI Port, nightime Rekor Scout
