    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?

    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...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    More on this, the essentials of the change are to query: curl -g --digest -u '<user>:<password>' "http://<Camera-IP-Address>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoInMode"" and then: Are there any other variations out there?

    Wood-like Enclosure for LPR Camera?

    I think this might work: I bought a pair of the junction boxes suggested by @PeteJ in the other thread: It has a million holes in it. I will use the corner 4: Yes, I know it's not right-side-up. This is just a test fit. I also snipped off most of the unneeded cables and buried the rest of...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Blue Iris UI3

    Speaking of Seek Position == LIVE, is there a way to jump to this in the Timeline tab? I know F1 jumps to the Live tab, but I want to jump to "now" in Timeline tab. Right now I get current by toggling to the Live tab and back to Timeline tab, but that seems inelegant. Would Up Arrow, if there...

    Version 6

    I do still have v5 installed, even though it says version 6 right below it: but I'm definitely running v6: So I just uninstalled v5, then disabled the V6 service, re-enabled it, and rebooted. We'll see what happens. Can the v6 console even talk to the v5 service? I would have thought it...

    Version 6

    Is anyone else seeing flakiness with Alerts since upgrading to 6.x, especially very recently? Over the last ~week or so I've noticed a dramatic reduction in the number of alerts that I see in the UI3 Timeline view on all 3 of my upgraded installations. Camera groups that typically have dozens...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    The Kurds have wanted their own territory, e.g. an independent Kurdistan, for decades, and they've been fighting the Iranians, the Iraqis, the Syrian, and the Turks the whole time. If the benevolent U.S. had its way, I'm sure we would be totally willing to let them take big portions of the...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Ah, this thread? That links to this thread on the BI Forum? I did see that awhile back, but I remember that this solution seemed error-prone, because all the configuration was being done manually, in a fairly obscure, hidden part of BI (e.g deep in the bowels of one particular camera's...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    That's the goal with LPR! We don't care about anything except the plate. Use a second camera if you want to see the car. Tha's the 3D Noise Reduction, which is a kind of computational picture enhancement . 3DNR attempts to reduce noise by averaging successive frames, which can cause ghosting...
