    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Yes, BI to take the video feed from the camera and send that to CPAI for AI processing. Then if a plate is found, have BI send that data to ALPR Database so that it can be searched. It takes a little effort to get all that going, so it works pretty well...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    You may want to leave the stock firmware on the one you are going to use for LPR unless you have a reason to upgrade. The Vigilant firmware was probably made specifically for LPR--I am not sure what the difference would be, but I would think the IR lamps work differently? I am planning to...

    Is that enabled? Maybe try adjusting your rotate deg to match your camera rotation

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Do these camera have a mic and does it work? I've never tried it since I use it for LPR.

    Delivery Driver with pulsing IR

    This is pretty common on vehicle mounted LPRs. I am not sure why, but the pulse rate is irregular, and it's not based on what the camera sees.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    It sets the min confidence to 30, which overrides whatever it is set in the GUI in BI. I left it in while I was trouble shooting some issues where CPAI would return values that fall below the threshold (in my case it's 70% in CPAI) and it should have been rejected by BI, but BI sends it to...

    Now the fun begins--you need to tune your camera and BI to capture plates in day and night conditions. :)

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    I use the camera for ALPR and I think it works way better than expected. Here is an example from this morning, I have the $35 camera pointing north, and an actual ALPR pointing south, so the images are of the front plate (south facing) at around 140ft and rear plate (north facing) at around...

    And changing that to something more suitable doesn't work? Have you tried auto? Have you tried day mode, or anything else? Or are you saying you've made changes to the settings and you are still getting a poor image?

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    In case someone else runs into this in the future, this was caused by CPAI thinking there is a 2nd plate in the frame. It does not draw the bounding boxes around it, but it does seem to send it over the JSON data. You can confirm this by looking at the CPAI logs by searching for the 2nd...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    No, it's a color cam. The default settings are probably for LPR, so you need to change the exposure settings to suit your usage.

    Has anyone else seen this issue? The CPAI reads the plate correctly, and it's burned into the image correctly (see bottom right), but it's taken into the database incorrectly (see top left). When this happens, CPAI has some tracebacks: SyntaxError: invalid syntax 18:07:49:License Plate...

    You are sending too much too CPAI if you are only interested in plates; try there settings (except "to confirm", leave that blank)

    Check FPS and Key Rates - ALPR Issues

    I do 10fps, 5 iframe, this fixed the issue for me, maybe give that a shot. You can see what the camera detects in the stats window in BI.

    image corruption

    Looks like it's a bug in CPAI. After changing the settings back, it was still misreading, and noticed it was doing it on the other cameras as well (there weren't any changes to those). CPAI had processed about 250K requests since the last restart, and come to think of it, I had to restart it...

    image corruption

    ok... so too much goodness gives you some badness Now OCR is reading the plate as Balifornia. Think about that for a sec... it thinks the cursive font that's 1/4 the size of the letters in the plate is the plate. I wonder if Trump can rename my state to Balifornia. That would be pretty...

    image corruption

    I'm at 8.5x zoom, so I have a little left (10x) but at full zoom, there is a little more distortion and I am also using this to catch traffic in both directions, so more zoom means I am going to have to decide which traffic I want more...

    image corruption

    Quick update. I've found that the default settings on the camera are terrible for LPR. The color saturation was too low for me to tell the color of the tags, and overall the image was too soft and probably contributed to the OCR error rate slightly. I've bumped color saturation, contract...

    It sort of depends on your camera. Dedicated LPR no-config-possible cameras: Aim and mask is all you can do. Not ideal, but for one of my cameras, I've mounted it very high and aimed it at the middle of the street, and I've only had 1 problem--a 24ft box trucked was tall enough to block it...

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Do you have another computer on the network that is as fast as your NUC? If so, you can try running CPAI on that instead of your BI machine. This will reduce the CPU load and avoid BI and CPAI competing for the same resource.

    image corruption

    Could be. The sprays are usually not effective in daylight, but that could be a very dirty plate, too. I'll post the next one that I see that I know doesn't have a plate cover, paper, or dirt. It happens a few times a day.
