[tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

[lviperz]

You don't need two trigger URLs. Remove the first one. The flagalert and memo tags can be comined into one. Also I think your "(cancelled)" in the Cancel URL might be wrong. I just have "&memo=[summary]"

Thanks. I'll give that a try. The (Cancelled) for the memo was something I saw in another post. I'll change it to [Summary] and see what happens.

In the log file I saw this when the cancel url was called.

But I never seen the word cancelled in blueiris, nor do I have any cancelled alerts. So maybe you are correct about the cancel url.

Still getting irrelevant triggers in BI's alert list. I removed the additional trigger line but also still have 2 external triggers in the BI alert list. Do I need to restart aitools?

In case anyone wants the latest compile of the VorlonCD tool. I compiled it from the latest code on the github. I take no credit for any of this. Just happened to figure out how to do it lol.

EDIT: Backup your current AITool folder before overwriting any files.

Version in pic.

Any chance you could post a .zip file?

It's possibly still your trigger and cancel urls. Mine are these:

http://localhost:81/admin?camera=[camera]&user=[Username]&pw=[Password]&flagalert=1&memo=[summary]

and

http://localhost:81/admin?camera=[camera]&user=[Username]&pw=[Password]&flagalert=0&memo=[summary]

and

http://localhost:81/admin?camera=[camera]&user=[Username]&pw=[Password]&flagalert=0&memo=[summary]

I don't believe the memo tag will cause this problem but I will change to what you have and see what happens. Thanks.
Also, I don't see the trigger command in either of your urls

 

[lviperz]

I just noticed that my cancel url is now causing unauthorized errors.
This is what I had.

http://localhost:80/admin?camera=edrive&user=aiinput&pw=vip3r123$flagalert=0&memo=[Summary]

So I changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 and now it works.
Weird since localhost works for the trigger url.

Here you go if you still need it.

Really appreciate it!

Probably a very simple question (hopefully) - how do I put my ddns address into the trigger url?
If I put in my current public IP it triggers BI the way it's supposed to but I can't figure out what I'm meant to do with ddns so I don't have to keep updating the trigger url's in AI Tool and the web server WAN address in BI.
Any help appreciated.

Just finished configuring my BI server with the AITool integration and seems to be working! I am seeing an issue in the log and wanted to know if it is any concern. The message states "WARNING: No default camera found. Aborting"

Editing this to add some more information. I have DeepQuestAI installed on a Linux VM and BI is running on a Windows VM. I am getting clips from the HD camera feeds and can see that AITool is detecting and triggering properly. It seems this warning message appears after every trigger.

Can you clarify your configuration? Are aitool and BI installed on different computer's ? Assuming aitool and BI are on the same network I do not see a need to use ddns.

If for some reason you are forced to use ddns this might work for you

http://admin:xxxx@name.ddns.net:81/admin?

Add the necessary commands for your trigger command. I use this to remotely change profiles so it should work.

Remember to setup port forwarding!

Is your system fully functional if you ignore the message?

Yes I could ignore it, but I just wated to make sure it wasn't an issue. I did not find anything using Google Fu so I thought I would ask here.

I have reported a couple of issues related to the Default Camera that arose on a recent build. Apparently although the Default does not appear to do anything it is required and should not be deleted. You might want to confirm that it is not selected as being active in your configuration!

It might also be worth compiling and testing the latest version at it has changes associated with the Default Camera.

Thanks @Village Guy I looked at the AITool setting but do not understand where the Default Camera setting is. Can you explain more about how to confirm that a default camera is not selected?

Choose Camera's and the Default Camera should be listed at the top. You can select "Enable AI detection for this camera" on the right, choose if it is to be active or not.

Latest version BI and AI Tool 1.65 both installed on a Win10 machine. TBH I'm still getting my head around it all but I think I'm doing the ddns thing so I can run a VPN for remote access, both to BI and to my Home Assistant.
Everything I read tells me a VPN is the preferred way to remote access because you don't have to forward / open any ports? Saying that I do currently have port 81 forwarded and if I just use my current public IP I can access BI remotely too.
I just tried your suggestion, if I understand it correctly, and put [admin] in front of my [ddns url] followed by [:81] and my trigger command. Still getting an error in AI Tool and no trigger sent.

OK I think you are way ahead of yourself. First of all Aitool V1.65 is very very old and I highly recommend that you install the vorlonCD version which I believe most people are using.

Before you do that it might be a good idea to get everything working and become familiar with its operation.
Putting aside remote access which is really a whole new ball game, have you got everything working using local ip addresses? Once you get that working we can deal with remote access.

Yep, if I just use my current public IP in the AI Tool trigger command and in BI's web server WAN setting it all works.
I installed BI, AI Tool and Deepstack following a youtube vid from The Hook Up, who does a lot of Home Assistant stuff. His video was from early 2020 and he installed AI Tool 1.65. When I first downloaded it I went with 1.67 but I couldn't see how to make it access my Deepstack which is installed in a docker container on the same VM as my Home Assistant. So I installed 1.65 instead and got everything working.

So like I said, I've got everything working including remote access via my VPN, but every time I reboot my router or whenever my ISP decides, I get a new public IP and then I've got to update that IP in each camera in AI Tool and the BI web server, and anything else I'm using with remote access, hence the ddns.
