    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Once again, Windows 11 decided to apply an update and then restart, without asking for permission :banghead: . I've now got that turned off, I hope, and for all you Win10 folks out there, it's a different registry setting than the one that worksd in Win10. But on-topic, Windows got stuck at...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I'm using: { "ai_dump":&JSON, "Image":"&ALERT_JPEG", "camera":"&CAM", "ALERT_PATH": "&ALERT_PATH", "ALERT_CLIP": "&ALERT_CLIP", "timestamp":"&ALERT_TIME" } and it's been working fine through the 5.x to 6.x transition, once I checked all the other required boxes.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    So I just clicked the one radio button to switch from the "local service" (e.g. CPAI) to the Built-In AI: then turned off the Object Detection and LPR in the CPAI dashboard: and I'm still getting plates, so I guess it really is that simple! After a few days I will uninstall CPAI completely...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Also, for anyone else fiddling with these cameras, when I took these out of the box from eBay, the default login was admin/admin. If you don't change that, and immediately upgrade to IPC_Q1201-B5029P12D1907 as noted above, the default login will change to admin/123456. If you had changed it...

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Wow! Here's an open-box unit asking $250, from India no less. I should try selling one of my firmware-updated, DHCP-enabled units, in a much nicer box :rofl: for $250 here, and see what I can get.

    Vigilant Solutions VSR-60-02MP1 IP Camera IPC262ER9-X10DU 24V, 1.5A, 50/60Hz.

    Just for kicks I put a voltmeter across all possible pairs on these wires, and they all measure 0 V, as expected. Has anyone found a User Manual for these cameras? Googling either model number and PDF results in data sheets and sometimes a quick setup guide, but no legit user manual that...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    I just had all of my cameras do their own thing because I had entered a set of Time Plan settings, so I just clicked Clear on all of my LPR cameras: and I'm hoping that will stop the cameras from switching on their own, and rely only on the new service.

    Wood-like Enclosure for LPR Camera?

    I would have thought you'd be able to tolerate a fair amount of shake at 1/2000.

    Wood-like Enclosure for LPR Camera?

    I mounted the junction box to the PVC cap with a set of M6 cap head screws, and decided to hang the brackets off of 2 of them. The M6 screws are pretty beefy, and this gives me a fair amount of freedom to angle the brackets to match the odd angles of a tree crotch. Maybe.

    Can I move Alerts from C: to V: without losing data?

    Thanks! That worked, including preserving all the integrations with the ALPR Database, which I'm pleasantly surprised at. The only downside is that I'd formatted my V: drive with 1 MB clusters, assuming that it would only be storing multi-GB .bvr files. Now every one of my .dat and .jpg files...

    Can I move Alerts from C: to V: without losing data?

    I have BI storing everything on my giant V:\ drive except for db (about 4 GB) and Alerts (quota-ed at 80 GB), which I have on C:\, my comparatively tiny SSD boot drive. It's getting full, and BI is having to prune my Alerts, which also contain the .dat files for LPR. Can I move the contents of...

    View More Log by Default?

    When I open the Blue Iris log from the local console, it display the log entries since the last BI restart. I have it set to log and store the last 30 days, which it dutifully does in a text file. If I click Open File, then it opens the saved log in NotePad, which is not as useful as the...

    Wood-like Enclosure for LPR Camera?

    What shutter speed were you using?

    Wood-like Enclosure for LPR Camera?

    This is a test installation anyway, and not a must-have, so we'll see what happens!

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Yes and no. I'm not very surprised that ChatGPT could find the correct commands and where to swap them out in the code, as when I look at my chat, it actually shows that it queried IPCamTalk to find that. What is surprising is that ChatGPT suggested a change to support both cameras, based on...
