    According to the help file: "The Cut video when triggered with break time option can be used with continuous recording such that each new file created always begins with a trigger event. The cut will occur only if there’s been at least a specified amount of time where the camera remained in a...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I had a cop park in front of one of my LPR cameras with the wind blowing and an alert was triggered every few seconds because there are trees in the FOV. I just deleted 107 images (all the same) of the pickup truck that were created and it didn't cause any issues.

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    Aesthetically it's probably the best option and if you pull it tight and maintain your own gutters, there shouldn't be a problem.

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    If you use a decent grade of outdoor rated ethernet cable you may get away with running it inside the rain gutter. You would want to make sure you pull it tight so that nothing gets hung up on it.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Currently there is not, but MQTT notifications for HA are on @algertc's roadmap. You might want to go into the roadmap and add a request for a fuzzy search option within a MQTT notification. A web hook notification may be another option you may want to add request for...

    I saw something similar a few days ago. Completely shutting down docker and then restarting fixed it for me.

    Not sure what is going on but if you go into the HomeAssistant tab and add the IP address of your docker container (172.18.0.1) to the whitelist it should work.

    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.

    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.
