    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Is there a list of things that change and things that don't change when we swap AI engines?

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I have plates again!!!! Thanks! I'm having a hard time understanding BI's internal workflow on AI in general and for LPR in particular. "License plates" appears in two different places in the general Settings and two other places in the camera-specific settings, plus LPR needs to be enabled...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    You can push video from Blue Iris to YouTube, per this instructional video. I haven't used this feature, as I've been using ffmpeg running on a mac Mini. But this feature's been around for awhile, and Ken's release notes say: So it's not new, but it's allegedly improved.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Thanks! This was probably the problem. The "License Plates" box was unchecked on all 3 cameras. So there were multiple settings that didn't survive the migration from 5 to 6. Anyone know how Ken stores camera configs? The configs are not readable in a text editor, so it's not XML or JSON or...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Correct. I checked all 3 LPR cameras on this system, and all 3 had this box un-checked: Somehow this setting didn't make the migration from 5.9.9.99999999 to 6.0. I've checked this box on all 3 cameras, and now I'm getting AI alerts, but they're finding nothing. But at least one step is...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    My last .dat file was saved on 01/16/26, which is the day everything stopped working, so it looks my problem is relatively early in the process, because I'm not even generating them any more.

    I think you're asking about my logs from the ALPR Database web server, correct? I'm getting a repeated series of these: [ERROR] Error processing request: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ',', ...""ai_dump":, "Image":"... is not valid JSON 1/30/2026, 11:04:39 AM [INFO] POST /api/plate-reads...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Hmm. I'm running Docker Desktop on Win11 Pro, on the same machine that BI is running on, and when I try this from Open in Terminal and attempt that first command, I'm getting "psql: not found"

    Blue Iris on 85" TCL TV!

    I put a big TV in our office conference room. 85" is pretty big! That's my new BeeCam running behind me, but I wanted to get Blue Iris on it, so I installed the BrowseHere app through the Google app store, and here we are! Navigating a browser through a D-Pad is incredibly frustrating...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Ugh. After getting a useful plate capture on January 8, I updated my BI to version 6, and now my ALPR + Database isn't working any more. It's been so long since I originally set it up that I don't remember all the steps and "gotchas" any more. I don't even know whether the problem is on the...

    Gardening Time Lapse

    Early Garden Prep at Painted Peacock Manor, 2026 It's still a bit soggy, but I wanted to knock the weeds down before they got too tall, and I wanted to get ahead of the gopher explosion as well.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    There are some things you just don’t wanna see.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Is it a single video stream? Or two separate streams? Good idea, either way.

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

    Not particularly interesting, but I put one of these out in the garden last night to check out why my tenant was hearing "noises at night."

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Rabbits in the Upper Garden, 01/16/26 I'm not currently growing anything here except weeds. My tenant in the guest house (in the background) heard "noise downstairs at night" and asked me to check it out, so I put a temporary camera down here.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Actually, now that I'm in my quiet home, my Reolink video does have audio: including a slightly audible crunch at impact. It's just about 1/10 the volume of the Amcrest camera's audio, which is why I thought there was none. edit: it might also be my audio setup at work. I have external...

    Finally Got A Useful LPR Capture!

    We got 'er! She's one of the neighbors in the office park :banghead: When my other (large and intimidating) neighbor confronted her with the video, she got very flustered. "I didn't know what to do!!!!!" Yeah. How 'bout you leave a note and take responsibility for your actions.

    Finally Got A Useful LPR Capture!

    This jerk backed his Lexus into my office neighbor's Camry: and then parked 30' away in the same lot for a few hours!! Later they drove away, and I caught a plate! Does that look like an E or an F? I don't have any other captures of plates ending with 259, so this is the first time we've...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Does anyone else have their Reolink POE Doorbell dropping audio? I successfully captured this jerk backing into my office neighbor's car: but there's no audio. I know that the camera and BI are set up to record audio: and later in the day I did get audio: But it didn't catch it during...

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    I got ChatGPT to write me a script to cruise through N presets every M seconds, so we're good! The new camera is now streaming in place of the old camera: BeeCam from Painted Peacock Manor And now we have bee sounds, too, as the Hik camera has a mic. You can also hear the motor as it slews...

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    I should have read the specs more carefully, but it never occurred to me that a PTZ camera wouldn't have this. Well, it's looking like I have to write/modify a script to do this ‍♂️ Unless I can get BI to do this. Is this what PTZ Auto-Cycle is for? I'm still trying to grok how to set that up.

    PTZ w/stored focus points and HTTP scripting?

    I finally got a chance to get this thing mounted out by the bees: https://www.youtube.com/@paintedpeacockmanor7469/live Live streams won't embed, so just click above. I have 2 presets, because I'm down to 2 colonies right now, but I can't figure out how to set up a "cruise" or "patrol" path...

    Version 6

    The back-end stuff is probably 10x easier to port than the front-end stuff. Just count how many dialog boxes exist throughout the Console; those would all have to be re-created from scratch in any OS other than Windows. But the video processing and database logic is probably all straight...

    Version 6

    I'm not seeing this: Do I need to be up to 5.9.9.9999999 before I can do a direct update to 6? And we're up to 6.0.0.1 already! Is it soup yet? Or should I wait a few more bug fixes? edit: updated screen capture to show active support contract.

    Pickleball/Tennis "Line Judge" CPAI?

    I was wondering whether this would be possible with low-cost IP cameras and BI, and I found this project from 2014: https://github.com/andreynech/linejudge That was done with Intel Edison boards and their associated camera modules. Cameras and compute have come so far since then, so it seems...
