    13 piglets in one small trap...

    Well, all that hard work and backyard engineering finally paid off. I modified a donated hog trap with a wifi module, winch, and door actuator to be able to "hunt" from my warm recliner. For several days now, a momma and her litter would visit my trap. As their confidence grew, my patience...

    DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...

    Ha, you'll have to compete with my neighbors who all want some too. It's hard to be the bad guy and say no sometimes... just keep scanning eBay. There is a glut of these from businesses who no longer need them now that the plandemic has passed...

    DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...

    Just an i7-7xxx with 48GB of ram. I have everything tweaked to try to minimize cpu load and average around 40-50% when there's not a lot of activity. During rain, fog, or windy days it gets up in to the 70-80% range. Ken has really done a lot to allow my older system to handle all the...

    DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...

    LOL, yes... Though I'm up to 75 now that Ken upped the limit to 128! The way he said it would require a complete rebuild to increase the limit, I assumed it would never happen... Then one day, in a barely noticed changelog item, it said limit increased. What a happy day that was.

    Direct-to-wire seems broken under latest releases

    I reached out to Ken and he suggested forcing an update to the newer .96. Apparently there were two versions of .96. After installing the newer of the two, the problem resolved. I can now see live D2W streams on UI3. However, my overall performance on UI3 seems very choppy when looking at...

    Suggestions on dialing this in a bit during rain at night?

    Yeah, it's comical, no doubt. Except for the alerts ;)

    Direct-to-wire seems broken under latest releases

    I operate with all of my cameras on a profile which uses direct-to-wire so that the raw stream from the camera is pushed through to the client without any manipulation by the BI server. Thus, no overlays, image changes, etc. That's fine, as it results in a sharper, more fluid video compared...

    Need help tweaking motion detection on a thermal camera in a tree...

    Interesting. Sometimes they move very slowly so I'd be concerned it won't pick up enough movement to trigger, but I will try that as well in a bit. My thought with the reset is that when the image sways, I have easily 30% or more of the pixels changing (much like a bug/headlights) for which I...

    Need help tweaking motion detection on a thermal camera in a tree...

    AI sucks on thermal video. I don't know how to train models, so I'm stuck using the standard motion detection as a trigger. My camera is a tree (about 20' up), and as such, subject to swaying in the wind. Consequently, as it moves, the motion triggers with every gust of wind as the entire...

    How do I record a single picture, once per day?

    I did this before, years ago, where I took a photo at noon every day for a year and the stitched them together as a video showing seasonal changes. It's been a while since I did it, and trying to set it up again, I don't see the options that existed previously. Now, under jpeg I see only...

    Does CodeAi work on thermal images?

    So how does one train a model? If I go through and mark "nothing found" as "confirmed" in BI, does that "teach" the model? I wouldn't think so, since I can't correct it to tell it what it really way, right?

    Does CodeAi work on thermal images?

    I've finally started using the AI again on a few cameras. For the daytime optical it seems to be pretty accurate - or accurate enough. However, on my thermal cameras AI is discarding nearly everything as "nothing found" despite very obvious captures of animals. Is there a different model that...
