    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Ken did reply to my earlier message and it appears there was a change in BlueIris that changed the behavior for me to what it should have been all along. His explanation (below) also helped me. Obviously using the sample from @MikeLud1 worked, but I didn't fully understand how or why. I naively...

    Thanks. I just made the change. Now I need a car to drive by, but I'm optimistic this change will probably do it. Thanks again.

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    FYI, I moved up to 5.8.8.8 and the objects:0 specification in the settings is no longer working, and all models are being evaluated. I haven't yet started installing older versions to figure out when this happened, but I did email Ken to alert him. Having said that, could/would someone else here...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I just learned something that I haven't seen shared before, so in an attempt to be proactively constructive . . . For anyone doing ALPR at night, especially with a cloned camera, check your camera's watchdog settings and make sure you have unchecked the "Interpret monochrome video as a loss of...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Is anyone aware of a way to control the degree of parallelism when running with BlueIris? Does anyone know what the default is? In searching the codeproject.com forums, I found reference to the "parallelism" setting through the API, so I looked in the appsettings.json, but didn’t see anything...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I've been watching the logs and saw a couple "Error -1" results in the BlueIris logs from the alpr call (see screenshot below), so I looked in the CodeProject.AI logs and I don't see any errors or problems (which is great). What I do see is a bit of queueing and execution times that are much...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I feel compelled to say that @wittaj and @MikeLud1 are both 100% right (always!), and I knew that even when I added all the objects that I did. I continue to be eternally grateful for all they have done here. I've learned a ton from both of you, so thank you AGAIN for everything. Mostly for the...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I mentioned above that I periodically get messages in BlueIris' log of "AI: not responding (2)". I just went to an instance of that earlier today and found the CodeProjectAI log lines from that time. Note that BlueIris eventually restarts CodeProject.AI (the stopping is shown at the end of...

    Ah, that is very interesting! I've been using the DayPlate and NightPlate to identify the plate before calling ALPR with PlateRecognizer, and I think you were the person that started that trend so I apologize that I haven't been here enough lately to see this new approach. Are you taking this...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Is it normal that BlueIris will show the red circle with the "x", indicating a failure, for the "Plates"/ALPR detection even when it succeeds? See my screenshot below. I have blacked out the first characters of the license plate itself, but you can see that alpr "found" a result with...

    Should the License Plate Reader work with non-CUDA GPU, like the YOLOV5 .NET version works with DirectML? Or would that require a separate build of the License Plate Reader in order to support DirectML? I ask because I am able to run with the GPU using the YOLOV5 .NET model, but when I try to...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I'm going to suggest something that may sound way too simplistic so please don't take offense, but just so you/we don't miss the obvious, make sure your power supply (presumably PoE) and cabling are not having any issues. I once experienced a similar reboot problem with an early version of this...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    @CamCrazy I cannot know if this camera will work for you, but since you mentioned that night performance is your goal, I thought I'd mention that I have both this camera and the PTZ1A225-HNR-XA. Both are supposedly of the same generation, but the PTZ1A225-HNR-XA has the smaller sensor and to me...

    what is the "General" firmware?

    @kobebeef That totally makes sense, and your screenshots are great. Having said that, it would seem that the General & DH would be kept roughly on the same version, yet they seem to have such completely different version numbers. For example, in my original screenshot there was General 2.401and...

    what is the "General" firmware?

    See the screenshot below from Dahua's website. What is the "General" firmware as opposed to the "other" firmware? Normally Andy's firmware file names match the "other" one below. Is the "General" one just a subset, or is that an international one, or ??? What does it mean that, using the example...
