    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Not really, unless you would consider this as 2 vehicles: This camera has 2 physical lens, one in color and the other in IR, and I think there is a 50ms difference in time. BI, CPAI, ALPR DB all handle it properly. My breaktime is 2.0 seconds, and this is fine for my situation since...

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    FYI, ALPR Database handles multiples plates in a single image properly. It will create 2 different database entries using the same image. The location of the Blue Bird logo confused CPAI into thinking that's a plate.

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    I could be wrong, but I think those are for BI to match up to the CPAI results--it should not increase CPAI processing time, it might be a few microseconds of processing on the BI side, but I dont think that would make any difference. Object:0 disables object processing.

    BI PC Upgrade Time!

    Since I am not using BI as my main NVR, I only have a 1 TB SSD on the system, which is sufficient for my needs, but if you are using it as your NVR, you might need some sort of external storage and just configure your BI to use the local SSD for new videos, and move the stored videos to external...

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Mike, when you say full image, are you suggesting not to send fire an action until zone C is reached?

    BI PC Upgrade Time!

    No problem, you'll need to also buy the fan and heatsink, it's about $10 each, that's why it ends up costing about $70. These are the right parts, but might not be the cheapest (links below). For the fan, make sure it says FCN and not Foxconn. The Foxconn one runs at higher speed and is...

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    How quick is quick? At that angle, I think BI will consider that as a single event as the first vehicle is still triggering the event while the second vehicle makes it down the road.

    BI PC Upgrade Time!

    I picked up a few of these on ebay for about $70 each. Then added some memory and nvme, and then laser cut some acrylic for a case. These are 11th gen i5, super efficient on power. Uses a standard Dell laptop power brick. Cost less than a Raspberry Pi 5 and very reasonable performance...

    Caught Catalytic Converter Thieves On My Andy IPC-Color4K-T Camera

    Remember that BMW X3 that I said had fake plates and had a trunk full of cats? Cops finally towed it. It wasn't because he was cutting cats unfortunately, someone OD on fentynal and happened to be next to the X3, and the X3 was illegally parked. They checked the plate, and towed it.

    5.9.9 - January 17, 2025 - More Pre-6.0 feature releases

    You can only do it if you have the update file. BI doesn't not publish every update, but some of them can be found here: https://ipcamtalk.com/downloads/blue-iris-updates-64-bit.3/history Also, in your Blue Iris 5 directory, you might have an update directory, and if you've downloaded an...

    Stop analyzing when confirmed

    No, I am running only against the alpr model. I have an NPU on the CPAI server, and the processing time is around 200-400ms. I think these are also async calls, so BI shouldn't stop sending images unless there is some timeout or something, which I don't believe is happening, here is why: It...

    Stop analyzing when confirmed

    Yeah, that was the issue. It would just cancel before getting to the image with the plate. Before the change I made, it was very common to see this: It would process the pre-trigger images and give up before getting to the post trigger.

    Stop analyzing when confirmed

    @slabbel thank you for the suggestion, I played around with the setting and adding "*:30" to confirm seems to be helping a lot. It's been less than an hour with this setting, but so far, it seems to have fixed my issue, which was it was canceling the alert for no apparent reason. This seems to...

    For whatever reason, the database wasn't build properly for you. I am not sure what causes this, but I ran into this when I was building the docker image from source and it wasn't working with similar errors as you each time it tries to write something to the database. I would get the images...

    Stop analyzing when confirmed

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a shot. I moved back to .29 from .33 and it's no longer canceling the alerts. I added "confirm: *" to the config (it was blank before) and "fire only on confirmed" (was set to always). I am not sure if these were the needed changes, or if .29 is good.

    I'm struggling with a number of issues, and they've changed over the last few months with each release. My main instance is .24 and aside from not processing about 2-4% of the plates, it's been super solid. This issue is said to be fixed in new versions, but each version after .24 has had...

    ...glad I found this post. In 5.9.9.33 it seems to cancel very aggressively, my ALPR catches are down 50% because it no longer waits for the vehicle to get into frame.
