Beginners guide to CodeProject

[Jake Reindl]

I added Code Project to my BlueIris, got it set up, but feel there's either some options I am missing, or a "next step" I don't know to take.
I go to a camera, properties, trigger, AI, and set CodeProject to detect for the things.
I have gone to blueiris, settings, AI, and detect objects is high, and my folders look good.
I can see the services are running, and if I click on the explorer I can also see where I can register faces and such, but that is as far as I have been able to go. I see that BI has been recognizing faces and dropping their thumbnails in the clips timeline, but no options to name them, or categorize them, or anything else. And looking at some of the posts from this forum, it is capable of much more than that as well, and I need to know how to do that.

There is a massive thread on this already, suggest you read through it as there’s loads of good info in it.

I used this on Google ==>> site:ipcamtalk.com Code Project to find this ==>> A Guide to CodeProject.AI Server

Having setup CPAI twice recently, once with CPU and once with CUDA, I have to say that guide page is not much of a beginners guide. There's lots of info on compiling and working on internals, which is hardly newb material. The closest thing might be the link to that wyze cam walkthrough, but even that has lots of extraneous info (mostly dahua, hik, etc here) and leaves a lot of key info out. IMHO cpai is pretty simple to install and operate. IMHO though, nobody has put together a truly coherent beginners guide, that has complete setup/tuning info, and leaves out any extraneous steps.

Since you have some experience with it, why not volunteer to come up with a better beginner's guide?

It has been a while since I've put much time into such a project, and I figure something like this is within my reach. This month my schedule is packed with 2 of my kids having out of town sport events every weekend, and thanks to the storms arriving at the same time as long awaited building permits, my free time will be scant for the next several weeks. I figure by then someone else will already have a decent "quickstart guide" done by then.

LOL the link above was in October and it is the best we got, so I doubt a quickstart guide will be done before you could put one together LOL

How did you get the CUDA working? I added a P1000 to the server to hopfully handle the AI, but whenever I "Enable GPU" in Code Project it restarts the services, but goes right back to CPU. Not sure if the P1000 is supported or not, but I'm a little stuck

When you added the p1000, did you follow the info to install the correct driver, cuda toolkit, and cuDNN?:

CodeProject.AI Server: AI the easy way.

Version 2.5.4. Our fast, free, self-hosted Artificial Intelligence Server for any platform, any language

www.codeproject.com

In case you didn't find the correct driver, here is the link to the one that works for me (seach "cuda r515 u3"):

NVIDIA RTX / Quadro Desktop and Notebook Driver Release 515 | R515 U3 (516.94) | Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 | NVIDIA

Download the English (US) NVIDIA RTX / Quadro Desktop and Notebook Driver Release 515 for Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 systems. Released 2022.8.2

www.nvidia.com

When installing the cuda toolkit, the installer mentions visual studio dependencies. I installed just VS 2022 community version or whatever (not 2017 etc).

After I did the above installations of cuda stuff, I installed cpai 1.6.8, and enabled it in BI. After that, the CUDA box in BI was checked by default, and the CPAI control panel showed GPU (CUDA)... and worked fine with no error messages. Don't despair... P1000 is supported, you probably just missed a step or have to redo some stuff to get it working. CPAI kicks a** with my p400... 50ms makes with the medium size custom models.

I have an r720 and was about to build an i7 rack mount for BI but then I came across code project. I picked up a Tesla p4 on ebay and my CPU is no longer spiking. Everything looks to be running great! Thank you CPAI.
