    Blue Iris UI3

    Thanks for these tutorials, wittaj. I imagine that as soon as a camera's IP is statically set and changed, then the GUI login fails, and a person would have to log into the camera's new IP.

    LPR to open a gate - using blue iris - Smart Life App can control

    HomeSeer is a bit pricey, but there's a BI plugin. LiftMaster/Chamberlain offer gate openers with wifi, and there's a MyQ plugin for HomeSeer, too. In addition, HomeSeer has an RFID plugin, and an email plugin, among dozens of others. Not sure how these would all fit together with a LPR...

    LPR Walk Through / Tutorial

    Anyone with LPR interest, be sure to look over the free Windows program designed by @Gymratz. It allows for the automatic collection and viewing of plate data when subscribing to the $5 a month 'Watchman' plan at OpenALPR.com. Here's a link to the article posted by @tech101 on how to install the...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Looks like we've found a site which allows plate look ups for VIN, year, make, model, engine and body. They are charging $15 a monthly subscription for this service, per individual, via PayPal. Details to follow.

    Creating a Real-Time License Plate Detection and Recognition App

    Looks intriguing, but too deep for me, too. OpenALPR.com gets the job done and is only $5 a month.

    The vini.az website returns free spec data via a URL, using the VIN: https://vini.az/en/specs/{VIN} Registering for an API is easy. Their API page shows how, and also how to add funds, check for balance, run a report, etc. But the report types are autocheck, carmax, etc. which will return a...

    I sent them a question on whether specification data can be acquired from just a plate. Their contact page stated that they are open to proposals, by the way. Integrating any non-autocheck process into the public GitHub code you are using would require GymRatz's or another C programmer's work...

    Hey wittaj, this Azerbaijani website (vini.az) does state that specification reports are free, and that is all we are needing. Hot dog!

    Foreign to me, too. Here's the curl to get an access token from the sandbox, based on the user/password/clientID/clientSecret: curl -X POST https://sandbox-us-api.experian.com/oauth2/v1/token \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-type: application/json' \ -H 'Grant_type...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Hi wittaj, the Esperian developer guide shows how to use the account's username, password, client ID and client secret in order to acquire an access token. It requires the POSTing of a CURL command. I was looking this AM on how to convert a CURL command into VB.NET, and I am certain others can...

    Hey Wittaj, many thanks for the links to these resources. Esperian doesn't list their prices, but said in an email to me that a support team will be contacting me regarding pricing. These other two resources you found do show their prices, either 20 cents per look up or 10 cents per look up...

    From their FAQ: Q. How much does it cost to use Experian APIs? API pricing is dependent on the product, country of use, usage volume and additional factors. Please visit an API Products page to find out more or contact support.

    I envision having the Esperian [username/password/client ID/client secret] as stored settings within the individual user's LPR app, where automation could continue. Their samples do not show 'plate' as something to search off of, though, just VIN.

    Still looking, but this might fit the bill. I signed up with an account. There's no discussion of payment plans . . yet. After signing up, the next step is to create an app. There's a lot of different datasets, but I selected the AutoCheck AccuSelect Sandbox. After the app is created (and they...

    In some regard, if there was a particular plate we needed to look at then we could always come to their website to acquire it. Adding to the database is an easy matter, but GymRatz's coding is different from mine, and he is much better at SQL statements than I am. Two ways come to mind to do...

    I as an HTML amateur was looking briefly at the website yesterday, and analysing the cookies which the website produces, and couldn't see how to extract the string from the webpage. The returned data is embedded in a series of .js javascript files. While the data is present on the page, one...
