    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Please don't apologize for making free software!!!!! This is a great project. My neighborhood just got Flocked, and I'm very curious to see how well their very expensive system stacks up to yours.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I have a plate!!!!! Nuking the database and starting over was the last required fix. Thanks to everyone for all the help! I certainly would not have figured it out on my own. For anyone new to the thread, about 1/4 of my problems were due to following an out-of-date ReadMe.MD that had an...

    Yes, and I have a space between the : and the start of the key, correct?

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I nuked the site from orbit (it's the only way to be sure), and started over. I'm pretty sure the incorrectly-created database was a problem, because as soon as the database engine was running, the dashboard looked like this: instead of how it looked previously: when it was trying to read...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Where does this live? I searched my C: drive and my V: drive, and I haven't found this. Does it live inside Docker's virtual infrastructure somehow? I'm still not getting records into my database, nor images into /images or /thumbnails, despite seeing traffic in the containers, so I think I...

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    Unfortunately I couldn't replace their SATA boot SSD with an m.2, as I did on my ex's box and my personal box, because the m.2 slot on my parents' motherboard looks like this: The m.2 screw at the other end was also unremovable, and stripped, so I'm guessing the refurbisher decided to use...

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    I moved that HDD to a new SATA connector on the motherboard, with a different SATA cable, and it's been running properly for the last 24+ hours: The /New folder now correctly has a smaller number of 4 GB files that appear every few hours instead of tons of smaller files that appear every few...

    Yup. My out-of-date docker-compose.yml was missing: - app-plate_images:/app/storage and app-plate_images: driver: local driver_opts: type: none o: bind device: ./storage My /storage directory now contains /images and /thumbnails Waiting for a vehicle . . . .

    Ah, I was reading off the copy embedded in the ReadMe.MD file, which is out of sync, and probably has other changes as well. Downloading the current version . . .

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Here's my one positive contribution to this thread. Future users may want to add restart: unless-stopped between image and environment to the db section of their docker-compose.yml, e.g.: db: image: postgres:13 restart: unless-stopped environment: Otherwise the postgres database...

    Yes, but I'm an idiot. :facepalm: My schema.sql file was the HTML of this page, not the actual schema.sql file. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: I replaced that with the actual schema.sql file, and redid the down/pull/up sequence. But curiously, if I look at the new container's...

    Replace POE Cable Assembly on IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2?

    Ah, that reminds of what I did 18 months ago. I can't believe I forgot. Instead of putting on a female connector, I crimped on an RJ45 plug and used a waterproof coupler. I hope I don't have to do that again.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I tore down the containers, re-pulled, and re-composed them, and I'm still not seeing anything on my ALPR Dashboard nor in /storage/. I took a peek at the Docker Container Details, and I see some errors: alpr-db-1 has a lot of errors like 2025-01-31 21:47:52.072 GMT [175] ERROR: relation...

    Ah, on my machine it's ctrl-double-left-click, but that may be because I'm RDPing in from a Mac. That took a long time to figure out! But now I have AI details: That's my car! That's my plate! 98%!! But my ALPR dashboard is still showing 0 records, and its /storage/ directory is empty. I must...

    Replace POE Cable Assembly on IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2?

    I done fumbled. I had deployed an IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2 AndyCam for LPR purposes, on my office neighbor's balcony, but this was a "temporary" installation, to be fixed RSN. I had the POE cable going into the camera's POE jack without the cable gland, and it was sitting on the balcony floor. Then it...

    User error. :facepalm: I wasn't recording JPEGs. I am now: For some reason I'd thought that, since it was examining the video feed, that it would use that for the analysis. Now that I've checked the JPEGs box, I'm getting plates. There are two cars parked in the FOV of one of my LPR cameras...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Ah, there they are. I was looking in my V: drive, where I store everything else: I see JPGs paired up with DAT files, which I'm assuming is good news, because it means something that done something with those JPGs. Except, curiously, I don't see a JPG for 7:08 PM last night, which is when I...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I do, now! Waiting for a vehicle . . . Should there be a folder full of JPGs somewhere? I'm not seeing any. Or would they be inside the Docker container?

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Hmmm. This was configured as "Database Only", and I'm guessing maybe I need to store Hi-Res JPGs, no? And then I'm also seeing that the Configure Web Request or MQTT dialog appears in both Trigger tab: and the on the Alert tab: I had set it up on the Trigger tab, because that's the first...

    This generated a camera alert, and my plate looks pretty clear here: Here's a 100% crop: and the server log for 19:08:00 shows: 19:03:26:Response rec'd from License Plate Reader command 'alpr' (...2b70a2) ['No plates found'] took 1639ms 19:08:01:Response rec'd from Object Detection...

    Fascinating! I would not have guessed that the LP detection was a completely separate operation from the OCR!

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Progress! I now have jobs being executed: but they're all 'No objects found' followed by 'No plates found'. I'm guessing that's the order of operations because the last two entries in the log are in that order. The ALPR database is empty. I'm still tuning the camera nighttime settings, but...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    ^^ Thanks! I don't understand (yet) what any of that means, but now my 3 camera Alert tabs look like yours. We'll see if I start getting any data. Is there a diagram somewhere that shows the workflow of BI with AI and associated other modules like ALPR? I don't understand the data flows.

    Pardon the dumb questions, but what other prerequisites need to be installed/enabled/configured before running this? This is my first time using AI anything, so a lot of obvious steps for you will not be obvious for me :D. So far I've done the following: Followed the instructions from the...
