    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Alright one last post so people don't think I'm a complete idiot, I figured out why the database container was stopped. There is a missing comma in the schema.sql file that seemed to be breaking the whole thing. I added the comma and restarted the container and everything seems happy so far...

    Nevermind, finally realized the database container wasn't running. Not sure why. I have a lot to learn about docker :)

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Oh wait, I figured out how to see the logging on the docker container. So looks like the info did get sent correctly, but it was followed by this: 2025-01-10 08:34:42 app-1 | camera: 'GreenwayLPR', 2025-01-10 08:34:42 app-1 | timestamp: '2025-01-10T13:34:26.366Z' 2025-01-10 08:34:42...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I just stumbled across this app, it looks awesome! Trying to get it working, the setup was a piece of cake but I can't seem to get BI to send the data over to it. If I look in the logs, I think the error is "Web: No stream: 500". Any suggestions? I've verified my api key is correct on both...

    5241-Z12E - Can't seem to manual focus it.

    Is there a trick to get manual focus working on the 5241-Z12E? I set it to manual, but focusing doesn't respond in BI. Zoom works fine.

    LPR camera suggestion?

    And BOOM just like that, the new camera is reading license plates! It was a piece of cake to set up, but only because others before me had documented how to do it on the forums here. I still have to mount it in it's final location and will probably tweak the settings a bit, but I'm super...

    LPR camera suggestion?

    Nice! I came to the same conclusion after doing some research on the forum here today. Already have it ordered and on the way, should be here tomorrow. Excited to test it out! Edit: I just know I'm gonna end up being "that weird guy" with 4 cameras on every corner of the house aimed in...

    LPR camera suggestion?

    No, I'd want the camera on the porch preferably. Wasn't sure if there was a specific type of camera that might be good for this considering the distance. I don't mind getting another camera dedicated to it. Thanks for the links, I'll take a look! -Robbie

    LPR camera suggestion?

    Hi, fairly new to camera stuff in general. I think I've got my current cameras somewhat dialed in (maybe) but I'm trying to figure out what I would need to do to be able to do LPR from either the street, or at the minimum the parking lot entrance right across from my house. I'll try to include...

    Camera finds it difficult to track at night

    Wow, this post is extremely helpful, I came here looking for exactly this. My video difference is so much better now using your settings as a guide. Will definitely be experimenting some more. Although now BI can't tell there is motion, so it doesn't switch to the higher quality stream or send...

    LPRs

    @Parley Impressive -- how does it look at night? I need a camera to read license plates across the street from me going into a public parking lot. So I'm trying to figure out what to get. Thanks!
