I tried Intel PROSet on my desktop machine but had problems with trunks. When it work, it worked fine. But it kept losing its config and I had to reconfigure the trunk. I finally gave up on it. Maybe it was because VMware Workstation or VirtualBox or HyperV resetting the config.
For BlueIris...
I have three of these. They work pretty well. No issues so far. As long as your cameras don't use too much power (no PTZ), and your PoE switch is decent, you can plug this in to your PoE switch (which will power this device) and then connect cameras to it. I have a Cisco PoE switch and set the...
Yeah, Rekognition is slick. And their AI/ML model will continue to improve over time, which should improve accuracy.
I'm sure Plate Recognizer is much more polished than my skunkworks project :). Trying to learn AWS.
Here's my thinking for an automated workflow:
1. BI detects motion and sends...
I'm playing around with LPR and testing AWS Rekognition to read the plates. I downloaded the images that got an error (in 1st post) and tried to see how well Rekognition fared.
Rekognition got it right:

You can get a used enterprise switch on ebay that has PoE and SFP ports for under $100. It will last you a long time. There is a reason why some of those enterprise switches have a lifetime warranty (only for the original owner).
I believe a goal of the OP for using fiber is to minimize the damage. i.e reduce the risk of a lightning friendly conductor (CAT6 copper) carry large voltage spikes between two locations.
Thanks. I think I'm going down the right path. Sorry OP for going slightly off topic. Now I just need someone to park a car in the middle of the road for 5min :).
Not sure why mine is different. Yours is called "illuminator" and mine is "IR Light".
Anyway, I tried your settings and it's an improvement. I can clearly see the plate. Except when I turn up the gain, I get a gray instead of black background.
I'm not sure of the build date. It was purchased in Sept 2020. Here is firmware info:
Device Type IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E
System Version V2.800.0000000.10.R, Build Date: 2019-11-18
WEB Version V3.2.1.817187
ONVIF Version 18.12(V2.4.5.800245)
S/N 5L06Axxxxxxxxxxxx
Algorithm Version 1.0.0...
How? Please share your settings for the 5241-Z12E. I have the same camera but don't get nearly the same clarity. Do you have additional IR lighting at night?
Hello,
I have a science project. This is not for a security use-case so I don't need any extra features or ruggedness. No need for security features. I just need a cheap (since there will be multiple) IP camera that supports MJPEG streams. Authentication is not required. The cheapest I found are...
