    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Ken did reply to my earlier message and it appears there was a change in BlueIris that changed the behavior for me to what it should have been all along. His explanation (below) also helped me. Obviously using the sample from @MikeLud1 worked, but I didn't fully understand how or why. I naively...

    Thanks. I just made the change. Now I need a car to drive by, but I'm optimistic this change will probably do it. Thanks again.

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    FYI, I moved up to 5.8.8.8 and the objects:0 specification in the settings is no longer working, and all models are being evaluated. I haven't yet started installing older versions to figure out when this happened, but I did email Ken to alert him. Having said that, could/would someone else here...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I just learned something that I haven't seen shared before, so in an attempt to be proactively constructive . . . For anyone doing ALPR at night, especially with a cloned camera, check your camera's watchdog settings and make sure you have unchecked the "Interpret monochrome video as a loss of...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Is anyone aware of a way to control the degree of parallelism when running with BlueIris? Does anyone know what the default is? In searching the codeproject.com forums, I found reference to the "parallelism" setting through the API, so I looked in the appsettings.json, but didn’t see anything...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I've been watching the logs and saw a couple "Error -1" results in the BlueIris logs from the alpr call (see screenshot below), so I looked in the CodeProject.AI logs and I don't see any errors or problems (which is great). What I do see is a bit of queueing and execution times that are much...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I feel compelled to say that @wittaj and @MikeLud1 are both 100% right (always!), and I knew that even when I added all the objects that I did. I continue to be eternally grateful for all they have done here. I've learned a ton from both of you, so thank you AGAIN for everything. Mostly for the...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I mentioned above that I periodically get messages in BlueIris' log of "AI: not responding (2)". I just went to an instance of that earlier today and found the CodeProjectAI log lines from that time. Note that BlueIris eventually restarts CodeProject.AI (the stopping is shown at the end of...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Ah, that is very interesting! I've been using the DayPlate and NightPlate to identify the plate before calling ALPR with PlateRecognizer, and I think you were the person that started that trend so I apologize that I haven't been here enough lately to see this new approach. Are you taking this...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Is it normal that BlueIris will show the red circle with the "x", indicating a failure, for the "Plates"/ALPR detection even when it succeeds? See my screenshot below. I have blacked out the first characters of the license plate itself, but you can see that alpr "found" a result with...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Should the License Plate Reader work with non-CUDA GPU, like the YOLOV5 .NET version works with DirectML? Or would that require a separate build of the License Plate Reader in order to support DirectML? I ask because I am able to run with the GPU using the YOLOV5 .NET model, but when I try to...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I'm going to suggest something that may sound way too simplistic so please don't take offense, but just so you/we don't miss the obvious, make sure your power supply (presumably PoE) and cabling are not having any issues. I once experienced a similar reboot problem with an early version of this...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    @CamCrazy I cannot know if this camera will work for you, but since you mentioned that night performance is your goal, I thought I'd mention that I have both this camera and the PTZ1A225-HNR-XA. Both are supposedly of the same generation, but the PTZ1A225-HNR-XA has the smaller sensor and to me...

    what is the "General" firmware?

    @kobebeef That totally makes sense, and your screenshots are great. Having said that, it would seem that the General & DH would be kept roughly on the same version, yet they seem to have such completely different version numbers. For example, in my original screenshot there was General 2.401and...

    what is the "General" firmware?

    See the screenshot below from Dahua's website. What is the "General" firmware as opposed to the "other" firmware? Normally Andy's firmware file names match the "other" one below. Is the "General" one just a subset, or is that an international one, or ??? What does it mean that, using the example...

    2023 and 2024 Models Update

    I was not planning to, mostly because IVS works so well with the thermal and I personally don't need to distinguish between a human or a vehicle or an animal. Also my situation is such that I have the thermal camera triggering at night with tripwires at a distance such that a human might only be...

    2023 and 2024 Models Update

    For what it's worth, I have one of these thermal cameras, and I'm about to buy some more, BUT . . . The camera still Internet Explorer with a plug-in! AAARRRGGGHHH. I was (& still am) furious that such a new and relatively expensive camera for Dahua would still require the IE plug-in. It should...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    @Palmpilot I didn't do anything special, so I don't really have any specific instructions for you. HOWEVER, I did find elsewhere in this forum and perhaps even this thread that someone else said the "CPU" is still displayed for some period of time until several executions have successfully...

    what is the "MCU" firmware on Dahua's website?

    First, I have NOT (ever) installed any "MCU" firmware and don't intend to until/unless I understand it and see value in it, and hence the reason for this post. See the screenshot below from Dahua's website for the awesome SD5A425XA-HNR camera. In the past, I have generally only installed the...

    When new Dahua cameras only support IE in 2023, should we look elsewhere?

    Does Pale Moon support ActiveX plugins? That's what I believe is the root requirement by Dahua, which in turn requires Internet Explorer. Please tell me if I'm wrong. Thank you. I think that's the advice I was looking for, or at least needed to hear. I did get it working, but I fear even basic...

    When new Dahua cameras only support IE in 2023, should we look elsewhere?

    When Dahua introduces new camera models that only support Internet Explorer with a 32-bit ActiveX plug-in, at what point should we show them the same lack of respect & support they give us by going with another camera manufacturer with comparable camera models? I just received a new Dahua...

    Dahua ONVIF authentication errors (particularly with Blue Iris)

    Yes, you're absolutely right. Disabling the authentication eliminates the errors in the logs and everything keeps working. I should have mentioned that in my first post above. I'm just trying to make the situation better since it appears to be a regression and making our cameras less secure is...

    Dahua ONVIF authentication errors (particularly with Blue Iris)

    For several months now I have noticed many thousands of errors per camera in the Blue Iris log such as: 1 6/19/2023 12:00:08.009 AM office-door Events: subscription 8000ffff 1 6/19/2023 12:00:08.685 AM paseo-cardero Events: subscription 8000ffff 1 6/19/2023 12:00:09.819 AM gate Events...

    Important! EmpireTech Official Website Active

    Information on mounts would also be a great thing to have on the website. For example, I just asked you about how to use a pole mount with the very popular T5442T-ZE and you told me that I need a PFB203W to use with a PFA152-E pole mount. That kind of information would be fantastic to have on...

    Review - Dahua/EmpireTech Full-Color 5MP IR & White Light IP Smart PT "Active Deterrence" Camera - SD2A500-GN-A-PV

    I'm going to re-iterate two points that @wittaj already said based on my experience with this camera & others. First, I suggest you go back to the 5MP resolution and instead drop the frames per second (FPS). As @wittaj said, it takes CPU to drop the resolution so even though a lower resolution...

    Important! EmpireTech Official Website Active

    Please provide the ability to filter on the sensor size, or at least display the sensor size with the icons on pages that show multiple cameras. This is what more experienced & educated consumers want, which are many of the people here on IPCamTalk. The camera names, model numbers, &...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I have about 4 of each camera and I feel confident in saying that the 5442 is better in every respect except that it would require two of them. The low-light performance of the IPC-T5442T-ZE is dramatically better with the 1/1.8" sensor. It might not matter if using the infrared LEDs, but those...

    lowering camera mount position on a wall

    I have a Dahua turret camera currently mounted to a junction box on the wall. Unfortunately there is a beam & gutter on the side that prevents the camera from seeing horizontally in that direction. Ideally I would like to lower the camera position 6-8 inches (more is fine) without making another...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    @CanCuba I dropped my frame to 5fps exactly as you suggested, for much of the same reasons. I believe that adjusting frames per second is the best tool we have, given the limitations of the single processor. I have two of the original dual-lens cameras, and two of the upgraded model. One of my...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Yes, it's working, showing results exactly like you show in your screenshots. I get that both with those test images and others actual alerts of mine. The "No Predictions Returned" just happened to be on the images that BI captured at the time of the event in the log in my previous message. I...
