    Can I Train CP.AI to Recognize Certain Cars?

    It might be easier to set up an LPR camera and detect the desired plates rather than trying to just detect the make/model of car. First, you'd need a good amount of training data so that it could discern each specific car without a lot of false negatives for the wrong make/model, but even then...

    Sorry, in your version, it's the Alert tab for the camera.

    I believe you need to look on the AI tab now.

    Algertc ALPR database and VPNs

    The problem, I think, is the database schema is different than what the code is expecting. From that prior post I linked, I'd try those separate db container calls. Try them one by one and report back if you can get through them without an error.

    Algertc ALPR database and VPNs

    1. The JSON should not be in quotes. 2. The path and file names for the images are long; probably not an issue. 3. The timezone shouldn't affect the reading of plates. They are actually sent and stored in UTC. Can you check your DB logs again? If you're still getting the ON CONFLICT error...

    End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?

    I'm still using RDC for access from other PCs. But for mobile devices, you must switch to the "Windows App".

    End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?

    I'm using Windows App to connect to my home PCs (see my earlier screenshot). You still need a way to VPN to your home network if you want remote access. And yes, local RDC access also works and won't go away.

    End-of-Life for Remote Desktop?

    For PC to PC, the Remote Desktop Connection is still functioning fine for me. For Android (and I think iOS), the former RD App has been replaced by the "Windows App". Apart from having a name that is completely generic and hard to search for, it does still provide the same remote access...

    Algertc ALPR database and VPNs

    I would go back to having the ALPR database on the same machine. Verify you have correctly set the API key in the settings. From another PC on the LAN, confirm you can reach the login screen. You want to use the internal IP of the BI/DB machine (leave the VPN out of the equation). Then ensure...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    The purpose of this thread is to talk about the ALPR Database. In order to send data and use the application, you will need ALREADY WORKING ALPR within Blue Iris. If you haven't done that much, you should look in other threads on choosing cameras and tuning their settings...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Blue Iris has a limit of 64 cameras. But the ALPR database doesn't technically care about the camera that read the plate. The database just stores images, plate details, the name of the camera, etc. As long as you have enough disk space you could technically be sending plate reads from hundreds...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    The &JSON that is sent when the ALPR module has found a plate is different than when other objects are found. If you want to use the same camera for both plates and objects, you should do exactly what you did and separate the ALPR processing to its own instance so that it isn't trying to treat...

    Where you have "undefined", I have the plate name. A quick way to check the contents of the &JSON is to send an email alert when a plate is detected that contains &JSON in the body of the email.

    Camera is always hitting the AI server

    In addition, if you want static object detection, be sure you type only the model you are using for that camera or else you'll see every installed custom model running.

    Need help with CPAI and delivery.pt

    Which module are you using (YOLOv5 6.2, YOLOv5 .NET, YOLOv8)? I've had the best recognition using the YOLOv8 delivery model. Also, if anyone wants to DM me with any images with false positives or missed detections, I can add them to the next training session. I need images that are clean...

    The app isn't the thing that would do it. You want to set up an incoming VPN so you have an encrypted tunnel into your home network using OpenVPN, Tailscale, Wireguard, ZeroTier, etc. You can then use that for accessing Blue Iris, the ALPR DB, etc. Do NOT do port forwarding. I suggest reading...

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Did you add the zones and get it so it triggers when the vehicles are in the middle of the frame? With 12 frames, you've only got 1.2 seconds of footage to find an image with a plate. Plus your processing time is about 5000ms (5 seconds) so it's going queue them up and take about a minute to...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    There are 3 possible versions: Plate (one plate) Memo (possibly multiple plates) AI dump (possibly multiple plates, plus additional info for each plate). The 3rd is the preferred version and is now mentioned first on the GitHub page. At this point, the comments in the readme about PLATE and...

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    I agree with Mike, rather than triggering just on motion, setup a zone on the left of the screen and the other zone for the right of the screen. Then trigger based on crossing from one to the other. Now the plate should be close to the middle of the screen (or at least fully visible) and AI...

    You seem to have an HTML encoding of ampersand &. Change that to just & and it should work. However the first version (ai_dump) is the preferred version because it gets additional information such as the position of the plate, confidence level, etc.

    Somewhere in the notes for the ALPR Database, it should be mentioned that having a working LPR camera (correctly zoomed and focused, and configured for day and night capture) with the correct AI settings for detecting and recognizing plates in BI is the prerequisite. I wouldn't mind like seeing...
