    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I am using Codeproject.ai on an old Xeon E3 and my CPU times are about equivalent to yours. About 500-600 ms for a plate. I use my ALPR data to open the garage doors, so latency is somewhat of an issue. I think I analyze like 30 frames everytime a car drives by. I am hoping to get that...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Been thinking about building a new machine to run everything rather than the 3-4 machines I have now. I have Codeproject.ai working in Docker and pass through the coral.ai but that doesn't help with ALPR. I have been thinking of getting a NVIDA card to accelerate ALPR and object detection. I...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I was having perhaps some high CPU with Codeproject.AI after a few days. Last week I set a crontab to restart the container at 3 AM. I didn't watch the memory usage.

    Advice on Intel vs AMD

    Interesting.... I am running BI on an old E3-1245 because it has Quicksync. I am using substreams but kept the hardware acceleration. I have not noticed any instability since I moved the OS to a SSD. I have another server running an old E3 without Quicksync. That runs Homeseer/HomeAssistant...

    Advice on Intel vs AMD

    Doesn't quicksync give you some extra processing with the i7 even if using substreams?

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    I recently installed a Coral.AI and got the drivers working in my server. It works really well but I am getting the following error that someone else got. I set the model to be medium and that does NOT work for me. Any other setttings I should try...

    Coral.ai on Fedora/RH

    I moved my Google dual TPU to my Rocky Linux 9 machine. I see the TPUs just fine with lspci. [mike@nas src]$ lspci|grep TPU 08:00.0 System peripheral: Global Unichip Corp. Coral Edge TPU 09:00.0 System peripheral: Global Unichip Corp. Coral Edge TPU I installed the COPR driver for Fedora from...

    POE Splitter Recommendation

    The other option is to put an active POE switch (that runs off of POE) near the camera. I have several Ubiquity 5 port Flex switches on our properties.

    Camera is always hitting the AI server

    I have a camera that the spiders love to build near and I get a lot of false motion sensors. I was noticing this is hitting my AI server a lot-- so I shut off AI alert for the time being and I still see Codeproject AI ping the camera on motion. Version 9.9.33.... Any ideas?

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    How many post trigger images are you set to? You could try increasing that. If you don't have a lot of traffic-- make it seconds worth of data.

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Up the timeout to like 120 seconds. How often do cars come?

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Here is what I am averaging... I should keep the time sensitive AI stuff on the Xeon and move the database stuff to the RKNN.

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Very true... but the Xeon runs my NAS 24/7. Incremental cost is negligible. I think I am the once who convinced Mike Lud to use the RKNN libs. I probably should use it. According to this... Massachusetts and California has the same average price for electricity. I am a good candidate for...
