    BI 6 not using Nvidia Card

    I also noticed that with BI 6.1.2.0, even using just the built-in Intel 630 video on my I5-8500, with the new OpenVINO support it has nearly cut in half the average AI inference times: from roughly 225ms to around 120ms. Pretty impressive improvement, I'm pleased so far. One oddity: a remote...

    Looking for a graphics card, need suggestions please

    By the way, one of the better sources of information on this subject I have run across is here: https://microsounds.github.io/notes/low-profile-gpus-for-sff-pcs.htm For once, it isn't AI written slop or pure advertising masquerading as genuine advice.

    Looking for a graphics card, need suggestions please

    LOL, you and me both. Similar situation, but I suspect that anything in that price range (in today's AI inflated values), won't be enough faster (if at all) for BI AI analysis vs. the added electricity costs. Following, just in case I'm proven wrong. Edit: Just, FYI, my roundtrip AI analysis...

    Mowing and edging

    Good point: I live in a region where tall fescue is the primary choice, some Kentucky Bluegrass, and zero bermuda grass.

    Mowing and edging

    I will admit the clean circular cut looks good around the other plants in the center, but for most conventional sidewalk edges, I'm still not convinced. I had no idea this was such a touchy subject though, sorry to offer a contrary opinion.

    Mowing and edging

    I guess, if you say so. Personally, I've never seen the big appeal of lawn edge cutting, it looks odd (fake) to me.

    AI Good and Bad

    GDID and Windows 11

    Or then again, maybe not (as promising as that sounds, Linux adoption is unlikely to have actually doubled in a very short period). https://www.pcworld.com/article/3204830/linux-didnt-actually-hit-10-percent-market-share-blame-bots.html

    How can the IPCAM Store be sold out of BI software?

    Try this way, the link says it is BlueIris V5, but it should allow upgrades to BI V6 for the first year of support: https://amcrest.com/blue-iris-downloadable-version-5.html

    False negatives with AI in BI 6

    I have my cameras setup with 3-4 pre-trigger images and 6-8 post-trigger images and that generally works quite well, but I can't claim that those are optimum for every situation, you might need to experiment. Definitely keep the box checked for reanalysis on continued motion triggers. Sadly...

    False negatives with AI in BI 6

    First thing to try is to lengthen the times between each analysis to at least 500ms or preferably 750ms (I would even experiment with 1 second), especially given that your average analysis time is running 337ms (potential for backlog of analyses). Also, no person is going to cross this scene in...

    How about a brand new American-made truck for $21,500?

    The project does look promising, but is a long ways from actual deliveries, so it is a bit early to judge. Also, while many of the goals are noble, I suspect there is some wiggle room in the "American made" stance that they are projecting: American "designed and assembled" doesn't mean that all...

    How about a brand new American-made truck for $21,500?

    Sadly the American public has bought into the idea that pickup trucks need to "LOOK" big and burly/manly (MORE POWER, heh heh), but in reality the bed size is often ridiculously small and short. We used to get by just fine in the 80's and first part of the 90's with overall (physically) smaller...

    Should I remove my front gate?

    The only problem I see with this suggestion is expecting the Amazon drivers to exert any extra time or effort beyond the absolute minimum, aka: an expectation of common sense being applied, which in my experience has been quite rare.

    Should I remove my front gate?

    As others pointed out, from a true burglary security perspective, it doesn't address the much easier path of breaking a window. At first glance, I like it in the sense that it does cut the risk from the latest youth TikTok challenge; a nasty variant of "ding-ding ditch", where instead of...
