You won't see anything in the AI tab unless 1) you have testing and tuning>Deepstack on (right click on clip playback--may need to restart clip after enabling). Then play your video with the DS tab open to watch results or better still, 2) drag the applicable .dat file from your Alerts folder into the open DS tab for much better details.

This isn't for training, this is to figure out why or why not something is getting detected and then to adjust your motion settings appropriately.

Hey all, spent all of last weekend trying to figure this out, but am now turning to posting here to see if y'all can help.

To jump right into it, I can't get deepstack to work for the life of me. I haven't gotten a single actual detection, where it told me it was a person or car. I'm using the GPU version 2021.02.1 and I've tried the CPU version, with no change. I've lost count how many times I've reinstalled BI and deepstack.

Here's a slew of general info, configuration pics, logs and such.

My camera is just a Chinese camera, a Capture R2-4MPIPEYE, from a business supplier. Frigate detection works just fine on Home Assistant, so the camera doesn't seem to be a problem.

BI version: 5.4.9.14 (started on 5.4.9.9 and have tried older versions which changed it from "Deepstack: 100" to "nothing found"..)

Computer specs (old gaming laptop):
CPU: Intel i7-3610QM
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M / 2GB GDDR5
RAM: 8GB DDR3

It's an old laptop, but it doesn't seem to be struggling at all so far. I freshly installed W10 on an m.2 SSD, debloated it, disabled updates, added some performance tweaks, etc.. It does nothing but run BI.

BI log snippet:


Settings:

At first I thought it was because zones wasn't setup, but I turned it on with no change.

I've had "to cancel" blank, added "giraffe" just to see what would happen. Have had the confidence high/low, doesn't matter. Have tested real time images at 5, 10, 20.

So BI is detecting everything, but Deepstack just won't identify what it is.

The last thing I can think of is this is too long of a detection time? I know it's not super fast, but I don't really care are how long it takes (within reason), as long as it detects.

Hoping I've given enough information. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
set it up this way:
I used database instead of hi-res

I don't think anyone said this but 250ms intervals for DS analysis is really fast. Have you tried changing it to 1 second to see if that helps? Also, I've noticed I get error-100's if I don't have enough memory allocated. You said 8GB which seems fine, but I'm not sure how DDR3 cuts it with this software though.

It's mentioned on this page: Advanced - Deepstack + Blue Iris https: ... 8754#p8754

"In order to get the feature to work:
  • First check "Save DeepStack analysis" in Camera settings -> Trigger tab -> Artificial Intelligence. This setting will start creating *.dat files in the Alerts folder pertaining to the meta data for each motion trigger.
  • Open the Status -> DeepStack window.
  • Double click any motion trigger in the Clips List and the DeepStack Status window will populate with the DeepStack meta data making it much easier to understand what is going on."

In spite of their best efforts with documentation there is still a large body of "tribal knowledge" with this stuff...
thanks for answer but for some reason when I go to look up the documentation I get this error.
