    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    In the UniFi Protect's Alarm Manager there's a 'Vehicle of Interest' alarm which when triggered can cause an email, app alert, a sound, etc. I do see when editing that category that 'Webhook' is there as an option.

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    The Protect AI Port has its own rules, or basically OCR on license plates if the License Plate option is checked in the individual camera record options within Protect In my own situation, Rekor Scout does a much better job of collecting plates than the AI Port does on the Z12 camera. I have...

    Dahua NVR -vs- Old PC and BlueIris?

    Hi BigRed. In my own case, I have the Z12E on BlueIris and also have it configured on Rekor Scout, albeit on the same PC. Wondering if they could likewise use their Z12E on an NVR and still use Rekor Scout on a PC.

    Dahua NVR -vs- Old PC and BlueIris?

    Not being familiar with the Dahua NVRs, as I am using an old HP PC with Blue Iris, what are the pros and cons of using the Dahua NVR? With BlueIris and Rekor Scout I can collect license plates, and assume the I could still use Rekor Scout on a PC with the same cameras connected to an NVR. Any...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I have that same camera associated with the AI Port, and it doesn't collect as many successful plates as the Rekur Scout OpenALPR does, maybe half of them. Although I haven't been checking on the improvements of the Protect software, this was my initial result. So, while it continues to collect...

    Show Clips Stopped Showing

    Not sure why, but yesterday morning all my 7 cameras stopped marking clips for the 'Show' function. When I browse the folders, I do see video files being created and stored, but BI will not list them as clips or alerts. I clicked on the 'Repair database' button, and even rebooted BI, but the...

    Email Server Stopped Working

    I am unable to figure out why the email alerts stopped working recently. The web hosting service which I have always been using for SMTP claims there is nothing wrong on their end. Whenever the camera's alert gets triggered from HomeSeer, the log shows 'Error with connecting server . . .' just...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    That was a surprise to me when I got the AI Port, that it need not even be connected to a camera, it just needed to be on the network. I have 4 ONVIF cameras as well as the G4 on the Protect. The use of plate collection, though, is weak even during the day. My Z12 is also on Blue Iris, and I...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I have this same albeit older camera (IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E) streamed to Blue Iris and now also to Protest, and the AI Port is using it to tag plates and people.

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    Thanks. I had to log in with the admin pass in order to enable that LPR option.

    Suggestions for indoor wifi cameras with Blue Iris for occasional use when traveling

    I also have this 2MP Amcrest IP2M-841B-V3 in the garage, and it is working very well. Mine is mounted high up, facing the large garage door. My only wish is that it had the ability to tilt lower. I guess I could re-mount it on an angle for fuller viewing at the floor, as the ceiling view isn't...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I acquired the AI Port today, and when I pair with the Z12, there is no LPR option in AI, just animal, person and vehicle. How do I get the LPR OCR to become an available option? The camera is acquired okay within Protect, and I get motion alerts and vehicle alerts, but no LPR option.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    For rogue applications, I will usually create a folder on C: named '\files\"

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    Can the AI Port allow for the license plate and date/time data be exported somehow, as in an HTML listing or a download of some kind? Or do the plates only appear superimposed on the images?

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I just adopted a Dahua camera in Protect, wondering if it will have the same AI features for LPR as UniFi AI Port. All I see from the G4 doorbell are the categories of person, package, ring, and animal. Guessing that these AI features for LPR are found only in the additional UniFi hardware.
