    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    Thanks! Will fiddle with it all tonight. Part of the problem is that this is a light industrial park parking lot, so get very little nighttime traffic through these driveways. I had zoomed out so that I could plant my dummy plate in the dirt and focus on it while I'm not there. There really...

    Stack video frames to enhance face and catch Truck Thief?

    I'm still not getting good captures. I've got the exposure and focus dialed in on my dummy plate, (5XOZ099, on the right) that I mounted on a U-stake, adjacent to the driveway. But here's a real car coming in at 6:50 PM: resulting in "No plate found." And here's a car coming at 6:07 AM...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I'm recording Continuous and using ALERT_CLIP, and it works fine for me. In my ALPR Database > BI Settings I'm using my myDNSHostname.dyndns.org:81, and the clips open correctly in UI3, which just as good as the "UI3 integration" that I was requesting originally!

    How do we tell postgres to add the new columns? Or does that happen automatically?

    Or just use/allow the BI hostname.

    ^^ Ah, now I see that somewhere the image does get masked by the motion trigger mask: This motion zone exactly matches the positive mask in my post just above.

    Am I doing this right? I have { "memo":"&MEMO", "Image":"&ALERT_JPEG", "camera":"&CAM", "timestamp":"&ALERT_TIME" } in the Post/Payload of my On Alert config, but I only ever get one plate. Here's the full JPG from the alert: and 100% crop: The .dat shows: so the upper vehicle was...

    Using single POE cable to power mic and camera

    M7 responded quickly! Although English is clearly not their first language, and it's a bit difficult to parse their answers: to which I further asked, "Thanks! Is the RJ45 output of the M7-POESP12V passive 24/48V? Or is it active 802.11af/at? Is there a datasheet or instruction manual?" and...

    Apologies if this has been discussed before--I don't see any prior mention of it--but what are the possible routes to integration with UI3? Could the database be served up as a new "tab" in UI3? I'd be interested in ways to make this available to other users without having to expose another...

    I thought that only controlled when BI gets triggered, and not the image(s) that BI sends to CPAI. Or does it mask the images that get sent to CPAI?

    If I have an existing installation that I want to update to the latest, do I just download the latest docker-compose.yml and schema.sql, and then compose down, compose pull, and compose up -d? Thanks!

    Using single POE cable to power mic and camera

    Interesting. If I'm reading the description correctly it passes 802.3a? through, plus it picks off 12V for a peripheral. It's $8 at MicroSeven.com, plus $5 shipping, described as "New!" despite we've been talking about it here since at least 2019. But there's no datasheet or diagram at M7, so...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    LOL. I kept seeing this old Camaro exiting the North driveway in my industrial park, with CPAI reporting "No objects found," and review of the clip showed what initially appeared to be intentional blurring of the license plate. Well, today walked over to look at it while it was parked. It's been...

    Is there a step-by-step tutorial on how to focus a IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2 for night captures? Every time I think I have it right, the next night's clips are out of focus again. I've turned off PTZ in BI for all user except Local_Console and admin, including turning it off for myself, as I don't log...

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    The boxes that I've upgraded to Win11 did all their updates after installation, with no problems.

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    Yeah, this is my motivation for following this thread, too. Server OS are designed to be up and running 24/7/365. They aren't configured to spontaneously reboot, add useless features, go to sleep, try to save you money by enforcing energy saving features without you asking, download Clippy, etc...

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    Nope! I used Rufus to make a USB installer stick that skips the TPM and CPU model checks. I updated the TPM to 2.0 on 4 of the boxes anyway, because I found the tool to do so, but I'm not sure it matters. The Windows installer does throw up a warning just before the last Install button...

    Where would I mask it out? I still want it to be recorded to disk (it's burned in at the camera), but I don't want it analyzed by the LPR module. Thanks!

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    I dug into this a bit a few weeks ago when working on boxes that I'd bought used with Win10, and upgrading some of them to Win11. On some boxes, this PowerShell admin command will work, wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey, and on others this one, (Get-WmiObject -query...

    Does CPAI do anything if not specifically configured on a camera?

    I'm having a weird experience with CPAI. In all my previous history I'd been just triggering on motion detection, and my Alerts had been "When this camera is triggered," on all my cameras. I had attempted fiddling with CPAI on my Home BI box perhaps a year ago, or perhaps it was DeepStack...

    Is that what this checkbox does? so we can leave the sub stream enabled for N-up and previews, etc., but pass the main stream to AI for processing?

    As it turns out, that outlet was switched. :facepalm: So every time my parents turned off the exterior lights, the cameras went off. It took awhile for my local sparky to be free for a small job, but last week he found a hot line up near that roofline, punched through, and installed me an...
