Good point and I will check out the camera. In this case it is really just homeowner that wants to be able to read license plate of cars going on his driveway. It is not business and nothing mission critical. We just need to add complimentary camera to existing camera for license plates. I will...

Money is not an issue with these people so Z12E will be good option. Thank you!

So basically I would set it up to detect motion and they would pull out the video and check the license plate. Which is perfectly fine. I am contractor so I have fairly good sense of distance. :-) But I get your point. I am still claiming 30" max. That said I would rather get Z12E and be...

Hi guys, I am new to LPR. I have a customer that has Dahua N52B2P4 Pro-Series 4K 8-Channel and he wants to capture license plates on incoming cars. He has already Dahua camera for general overview and I am looking for solution to get license plates recorded with additional camera optimized...

I think that makes sense. Recognition is not perfect yet to reliably distinguish between different animals but if we can get it to the point where we can reliably separate animals, people and cars, that would make most users satisfied IMO. I think that is what most people probably look for...

@sebastiantombs Got it! Well, I have created another camera copy that will use animal model only and I will use is for actions that need to be taken with animal intruders. LOL This way I can customize it the way I want and sent trigger to home automation system when "hopefully" animal is...

Quick question about DeepStack. I've been testing animal and combined models specifically to see if I can get some decent animal detection. So far it's been useful most of the time when comes to deciding between animal and human. That said I've been identified as animal a few time. I don't...

Oh.. I misunderstood.. I kept highest settings for main stream because I like to mess with videos when I catch something nice.. Maybe it's not best for general surveillance. The screen shot is below the video links. That's from old house: Bears Mountain Lion Messing with a deer - cameras...

@sebastiantombs , I haven't really messed with settings yet but it looks like I will have to find some compromise for both day and night. I have 3 Dauha cameras coming in soon to include in the mix.

2x GW Security - GW8555MIP and 1x Camius BoltV I bought them way back and I knew nothing back then about cameras. User interface looks pretty much same for both so I am not sure if it is same manufacturer or just software that is used on both. I don't see profile option on any of them.

I guess I am out of luck without profiles on the camera. If I adjust things to the extreme at night it will look like s**t during the day. I will try to play with settings a little bit.

Is there anything special I need to do to improve AI detection at night? I have pretty bad luck with my setup when it comes to night detection. Bellow is screenshot to illustrates the situation that resulted in cancellation because nothing was found. In another instance I was recognized as a...

I will do some testing for general 2.0 as well! I will still have to use animal model too as I really need to "keep an eye" on deer! That said so far I did not have much luck with deer. Most of them were recognized as sheep, dog or cow.. LOL But I am sure it's part of my learning journey.

@sebastiantombs I use dumb lights with smart switches and turn on lights around the house when we get home after sunset or when we hang out on the deck when it's dark. I use cameras as a trigger to tell home automation to get the lights going. Using deepstack help with false triggers but it take...

Does it make sense to run both combined and dark models if I have lights turn ON with motion at night? Just curious how will dark model work when lights will turn on and camera will switch from IR mode to regular mode with enough ambient light from the lights.

I guess I need to use a search better. :)

Hi guys, is there a place or community where people share custom models for Deepstack? I would like to add some animals such as deer, elk, bobcat etc.. Or combine those under animals. I will dive into it soon but I was wondering if people share their models. O am sure I would not be first one...

Yes sir! I will start fresh installation and follow the optimizations to make the most out of the setup. Thank you guys vfor all your input. Very much appreciated.

I just ordered renewed Dell Optiplex 7060 SFF Desktop Computer i7-8700 3.0GHz 16GB DDR4 Ram New 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD. That should be good for BI and DeepStack for now. Can't wait to start playing with DeepStack.

Perhaps you are right.. There is one thing. I'll will be switching home automation to different system with dedicated processor so that would leave media server (Kodi) and BI on one PC. Still a bad idea? Are thinking about issues when media server is in use and using GPU together with BI...

In my A/V rack I have Multimedia PC and PC that runs BI and home automation software.. Maybe I should just upgrade Multimedia PC and kill one of the PC and have it all handled by one machine. It would save energy and if Windows can behave it might work with good hardware. LOL

I got it... I would not do that.

No.. I just stated that it did not sounds like headache should I try to do something like that. I trust home automation to handle tasks based on input from security system. I don't think I want to unlock my house and disarm my security based on face recognition from camera. What I am saying is...

Oh yeah! That one of the reasons. Moving clouds is another one! And snow..

I guess for that I could always get good smart camera with alarm output (relay) wires and get it connected alarm system and have that processed with home automation system.. I think there would be way to deal with that.

That was I was thinking. I was leaning towards to BI and DeepStack as I want to get hands on something else than NVR. The best way to learn is to have it physically and experiment. That said, I wanted to check first with some of you here with experience.

I'll check it out..

To be honest I don't care too much about face recognition. As long as I can use some AI on my dumb camera to eliminate most of the false motion detections (rain, snow, cloud shadows etc.) I live in the mountains so do some training for wildlife besides recognizing people and cars would be...

See attached screen shot. Maybe I need to look into optimization regardless of the future upgrade.

That's not good.. :-( I like the idea of having more flexibility with BI and DeepStack.
