Grok 3’s Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up ALPR Cameras with Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI

What should general settings in BI, Plate Recognizer for ALPR, Connection, On premise sdk port be set to? ? if so i dont think in my case its working, codeproject "license plate" module, or should that be "This AI Server"

OK then what should that be set to. "this Ai server"? I have license plate reader module installed not paid service

More zoom and a better angle will certainly help as well.

For some reason my screens are different..

For instance, on the ai tab for the camera, should i have this for custom models.. or should it be objects:0,alpr, or ipcam-combined?

My alert confirmation currently looks like this (im using CPU not gpu so not sure if that matters):

And
does it matter if using yolov5.net or yolov5 6.2?

I was originally using v5 .net, now i seem to have both running (and have tried stopping the one)

So dont put anything for confirmation? Not car, vehicle etc?

I dont think my motion triggering is working right at least with cpu, its always only catching the car as it enters the frame not in the center etc.
*Does it matter if yolov5 6.2 or yolov5.net is used, in my case with cpu only

---------------
Also license plate reader wont start, i've tried the following:

usual error is something like :
Installer exited with code 1
12:42:30:Module ALPR started successfully.
12:42:33:Module ALPR has shutdown
12:42:33:ALPR_adapter.py: has exited
14:08:34:ALPR: Ensuring Python package manager (pip) is installed...done
14:08:46:Response timeout. Try increasing the timeout value


I installed the latest cuda 13.1 retried install..
It still fails.. then

reinstalling with cache turned off, seeing:
14:16:42:ALPR: Python packages specified by requirements.windows.cuda.txt
14:16:47:Response timeout. Try increasing the timeout value
Still stuck

Here it is, i recently took out the 1650 gtx to save on power draw, so im relying strictly on the i5-13500t cpu .. it has integrated graphics though, latest cuda 13.0.1, not sure why it says primary nvidia, maybe the integrated. It says python not found, i know theres definitely 2.7.13, but i swear 3.9 was on here

If you are not going to use a Nvidia GPU uninstall CUDA. Do the below steps.
  1. Uninstall CUDA 13
  2. Reboot your PC
  3. Uninstall the ALPR module
  4. Reboot your PC
  5. Reinstall the ALPR module
  6. This should make the ALPR module work

i tried this again (i have tried do not use cache before too)..
it shows green at first, but refresh page and its red / stopped..
in status shows:

20:23:31:Started License Plate Reader module

i even tried removing codeproject completely, removing the folder, reinstalling, same issue

I am not sure what the issue, can you try uninstalling and installing one more time Do not use download cache and Install verbosity Loud (Loud will show a lot more details on the install). When it finishes installing post the install log.
