    It sounds like a firewall issue. You need to create an inbound and outbound rule allowing the port you setup for the app (typically 3000). Here's an example of mine. I'm using port 3001.

    With that camera you should be able to capture both sides of street. Here's an example of the zoom level I'm using and I get both side of the street. I do have two cameras because front plates are not required where I live.

    You could define the area of interest (AOI) on the video tab. However, if you define the AOI, you might want to clone the camera so that you can capture both front and rear plates.

    The yellow box indicates the defined trigger zone. You might want to increase the size of the zone and if possible, increase the zoom on your camera.

    BYOB - Build Your Own Beijing | Crazy, game-changing things you can do with latest AI

    Nice, but I don’t have Ethernet out to my mailbox. The Bluetooth sensor I’m using was only $12.

    BYOB - Build Your Own Beijing | Crazy, game-changing things you can do with latest AI

    I’m using a cheap Govee Bluetooth vibration sensor. I tried using a zigbee and zwave sensor but neither worked mainly because it’s a heavy gauge steel mailbox surrounded by brick. The Govee sensor works well because I have several Bluetooth proxies scattered throughout my house and garage.

    This isn’t using a model. There’s a sensor in the mailbox that triggers the AI analysis' when the door is opened. Using this methodology it also sends me an image analysis of whoever opened the mailbox.

    Algertc ALPR database and VPNs

    I use tailscale and it shouldn't have anything to do with the ALPR database. Like @VideoDad mentioned you need to setup the ALPR database app on your LAN using the local IP address of your BI PC.

    5.9.9 - January 17, 2025 - More Pre-6.0 feature releases

    I haven’t had a chance to look into this yet, but I noticed 5.9.9.53 also broke my connection to @algertc’s ALPR database app. Update: I found the issue... "objects0," is no longer needed in the custom models field.

    Seeking Zoom Help with Blue Iris Configuration – Happy to Pay!

    There's no need to pay someone for zoom support. If you'll post your specific issues here I'm sure you'll get the support you need. By posting your problems publicly others can learn how to deal with these as well instead of keeping everything private.

    I ran your images through my setup with the same results. I think you've just got a bad angle on your plate captures.

    Yes and like you I tried to keep it under control using an automation, but I found a better way through BI. Under the AI settings in BI there is an option to restart CPAI every x number of minutes. I set mine to 720 (every 12 hours) and it works great.

    Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...

    I've been using both a Mac and Windows machines for over 20 years and I prefer Mac because of its simplicity and integration into my apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, AppleTV and Apple Home).

    Here's one my LPR camera picked up. Apparently this girl is pretty excited with her new Vette. I noticed she's taking a selfie as she's driving down the road. :D

    I understand how it works, but it's supposed to be used when you want different confidence levels for detecting multiple object. In the case of an LPR camera, where you are only detecting a license plate, it doesn't make sense.

    There are two ways of sending data to the database. One is via MQTT and the other is to use the API key. The API key is the preferred method so if you have it configured correctly you don't need anything in the MQTT section. The 172.19.0.1 you are seeing in your log file is the internal IP of...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    There is one buried in a test directory but it shouldn’t matter any picture should work as long as it contains whatever you’re trying to detect. Also you shouldn’t have to manipulate any DLL files to get this to work so I suspect you have something else going on. I would suggest you delete the...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    Assuming you're running CPAI 2.9.5, do you have the license plate reader module (3.3.4) installed? If so, uninstall the module and re-install it using the "Do not use download cache" option on the installed modules page.

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    Besides the two I have in the house I have two in the garage. One is fixed on my Corvette and the other one is a PTZ that is controlled by my home automation system. Whenever one of the of the 4 doors open (2 garage and 2 man) the PTZ moves to cover the open door.

    Yep, they'll never change. I bought a used car from them about 30 years ago and the transmission went out within 5 days. In the "fine print' the car was sold "as is" so they wouldn't do anything to help. I'm surprised they're still in business.
