    Dahua IPC EASY unbricking / recovery over TFTP

    That seems a bit odd, the 251 address. Maybe the camera firmware is not corrupted but just misconfigured? Have you tried a factory reset using the button (or jumper if button isn't installed)? See the document linked here if you are unsure how...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Awesome Mike, and no rush or worries about getting any testing done. Whenever you manage to get around to it is fine. My PC is relatively new, but perhaps I cheaped out a bit on it. The psu won't really be able to handle more than a p400.

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Woah yeah... I did see some weird text like that one time in BI logs. Not sure what's up, but even 1800%? [edit: Note I saw the long return time and decided to hit the button again... and now nothing "No Predictions Returned". Something either intermittent, or corrupt after first use?

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    OK, I'm not sure it will help though since alpr/license-plates v2 in the cpai explorer are not working as they should. FWIW, I also tried it and it failed with my old cam settings as shown below:

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I've been trying to troubleshoot alpr not returning plate numbers for a few weeks now... since I first attempted to upgrade from CPAI 2.1.9 to 2.1.11. I initially had issues installing the update, but got those sorted. Some things I've tried... deleting all CPAI folders and reinstalling CPAI...

    CPAI 2.1.11 not working

    I did just notice this log in CPAI after rebooting: 19:34:12: 19:34:12:Started Object Detection (YOLOv5 6.2) module 19:34:13:Server: This is the latest version 19:34:24:ALPR_adapter.py: Timeout connecting to the server

    CPAI 2.1.11 not working

    So I feel silly about the ProgramData folder... it was just hidden. Before I go on, I'll mention that rolling back 2.1.9 did work 100%, as the LPR was not returning license plate OCR like it was before. So I decided to try 2.1.11 again. I deleted all installconfig.json's found including the one...

    CPAI 2.1.11 not working

    Nope, didn't work for me. The install seemed to get farther along, but there was an error mentioning something to the effect of "Google auth-0 version is too new" during install. After installing, my attempts to download the plate reader module failed, with logs showing just "call failed". Also...

    CPAI 2.1.11 not working

    To clarify, how did you get another running PC up and running? Was it with 2.1.11, or an older version? I can see the contents of installconfig.json include a version and install ID, which would likely have to change at least. Not sure about the other file... or why it gets corrupted to begin...

    Would like help with Net Time

    FWIW, there is a good chance the router that is controlling the network has the ability to enable an NTP server already built in to the stock firmware. It's a common feature on routers for the last 15years or so. The big advantage of router based NTP is it is always available; in this case it...

    CPAI 2.1.11 not working

    So I have had BI working perfectly with CPAI 2.1.9 for some time, and stupidly decided to upgrade to 2.1.11 today. The initial install seemed to go OK, but once it's running and I try to install any modules (for example Yolo v6.2), it fails with logs showing just "Failed to call". I tried...

    Beware of Z-Wave 700 series controllers

    Not sure how long it has been out, but the latest firmware for the z-stick7 (7.19.2) is working well for my HA setup. My HA pi4 has been running hassos w/ a nortek husbzb-1 stick for a very long time. Since I decommissioned all of my zigbee devices over the years, and have a zwave node that...

    45ms delay between PTZ input and camera movement, is this normal?

    At 30fps the video feed updates every ~33msec. Most folks are running security cameras at 15fps or lower, which means at least 66msec between frames. This could get in the way of a 10msec ptz control link having the same feel as 10msec on csgo. Also for reference, pro freestyle and racing drone...

    5.5.8 - June 13, 2022 - Code Project’s SenseAI Version 1 - See V2 here https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/codeproject-ai-version-2-0.68030/

    Not sure if you saw the double commas in the last one, but that would confirm everything (likely won't solve your issue, but fix it still). Also, I noticed you have "(External - Nothing Found)" in your BI logs. "External" indicates the trigger is coming from an external source (not motion)...

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    I am not sure what "8+2" means, but I think most modern unmanaged switches (sold after 2000) have auto mdi-x (ie port detection) built in so you don't have to worry about mixing 568a and 568b cables for clients and uplinks. So you don't even need a managed switch to do this... just plug stuff in...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    AFAIK there's no way to "invert" the server/client as you mention using openvpn. You would need a server at your remote site as well if you want to access using a client from home. I'm not familiar with 5G modems, or what options you have to get this working. I know asus routers do have the...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    I have doubts it's the cause of delivery not working for you, but you probably should remove all of the "Mark as vehicle" entries since you aren't confirming plates or vehicles on this one. I vaguely remember seeing those blue/orange double rectangle icons in the ai logs when ai was misbehaving...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Quick report on accuracy of my system... I get 99% california plates, at a less than ideal ~45* angle or so. It has already been mentioned that dealing with "0" vs "O" is a steep hill to climb for OCR, and may be easier to deal with in PP. I noticed some other consistent errors to go with this...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    This is similar to how alpr behaves with images containing some commercial vehicles with assorted text/numbers painted on the vehicle. For example state contractor license numbers sometimes appear in place of a plate number. This is something that is easy to filter out in post processing, but...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    @Lta, I would try the following: uninstall cpai, delet the codeproject install directory, shutdown BI service, reboot, reinstall CPAI, set BI service to "delayed start", then restart BI service. @MikeR33, do you have windows services configured so the BI service has a "delayed startup"? I...

    Quick update for dev types regarding the latest BI and cpai versions... I just updated to the latest, and let the cpai and bi installers do their thing. After rebooting and starting BI the first time with cpai 2.0.8, the splashscreen did show a new message "configuring AI...", which gave me...

    FWIW, the world of programming is very unforgiving of such mistakes. There are many languages that don't care much about "white space", but generally when copy/pasting modern code/settings from online, white space is very important!

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Immediate actions, and alerts with mqtt are kinda 2 different subjects, with some overlap. You don't have to add any plate numbers to BI. BI will "trigger for every plate found" when configured properly, and you can get alerts or send mqtt messages with those plates if you desire (with minimal...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp

    Sorry, but getting the defaults from my db6i would mean a lot more work on my end, including the stupid DMSS install/config/uninstall dance that I swore I'd only do once to get this doorbell configured for my system. I'll take your word for it that the defaults are garbage... my experience was...

    I mean... kinda does look like a plate I guess? It would be even better if it read LOLOLOL though. Check this one out from today... This was from a clone of my LPR running ipcam-combined. The master camera did get the plate as well, but had an L instead of a 4 (which is very common BTW)...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Same here, but I'm using custom models and not default object detection. Not sure why the dropdown doesn't work when using default object detection though, because it should. Then again, I can see how BI might get confused with ALPR for plates enabled and custom models disabled. I believe ALPR...

    Out of curiosity (and lack of creativity), I have to ask you guys... what are you doing with plates in HA? Only thing I conjured up in a few minutes of thought is maybe a voice alert when an expected visitor arrives... but I suspect you all have much cooler applications.

    FWIW, I removed ,* and it's all been working very well for a few days straight. It deals with parked cars as expected etc. One suggestion for folks wanting their LPR cam to perform multi-role, use a clone for that. I previously had a similar setup, using combined and alpr on one camera, with...
