    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    No, but you do need more zoom on the plate so the application can work.

    Mine is set to 200K and I have 47K + records. Retention is set to 12 months. Not sure why you would want a 30 year retention period.

    Did Plate search change, or did BI change something, mine doesn’t work now.

    It runs in a docker container and can be installed anywhere as long as the computer is always on. Yes

    Did Plate search change, or did BI change something, mine doesn’t work now.

    We're just trying to understand what application it is so that maybe we can help. I'd ask you take a screen shot and post it here, but for some reason the site isn't allowing users to add images to their posts right now. Regardless, this is probably one of the best free license plate apps I...

    Did Plate search change, or did BI change something, mine doesn’t work now.

    I did a search of the entire site for "Plate Search" and came up empty, so I'm not sure which program you are referring to.

    My camera drops sending signal around 2pm everyday and comes back on around 6pm. See Pics.

    I was having a similar issue with one of my LPR cameras and after replacing a POE switch and a cable the problem persisted. To troubleshoot this try logging into the camera’s UI while BI is reporting it as offline. If you can get to the camera’s UI then it’s an issue within BI. You can try...

    With the vast amount of plate numbers out there I’m not sure how fuzzy lookup could possibly enrich recognition. Poor recognition is typically a camera or model issue with the latter usually being the problem. With all of the plate data captured and sent anonymously I was hoping for an...

    Not to put a damper on your MQTT development, but the majority of what you are trying to accomplish is already doable via BI and Home Assistant. More than likely you can do the same thing with other home automation systems that support MQTT. For example you can setup an MQTT message with any...

    Also the MQTT message is coming through in UTC time. Can it be changed to local time?

    Agreed, I'm already getting the license plate data, but having the tag info from the ALPR database would be an added bonus.

    Not sure if this will help, but the way I'm doing it is a two part process. First you need to create an MQTT camera in the HA config.yaml file mqtt: camera: - topic: BlueIris/westbound_lpr/alert-image-b64 name: Westbound LPR Alert unique_id: camera.westbound_lpr_alert...

    New "Action set" option in 5.9.9.64

    I am running CPU only on an i7-14700 and this release has done all kinds of weird stuff. I've installed it 3 times and each time it's done something different. The first time it removed the zones I had setup for LPR cameras, the second time CPAI stopped working on just my cameras and the third...

    New "Action set" option in 5.9.9.64

    I'm having an issue with 5.9.9.66. After running for a short period of time CPAI stops working on my ALPR cameras. Restarting everything does not fix the issue so I rolled back to 5.9.9.65 and everything seems to working.

    I had a cop park in front of one of my LPR cameras with the wind blowing and an alert was triggered every few seconds because there are trees in the FOV. I just deleted 107 images (all the same) of the pickup truck that were created and it didn't cause any issues.

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    Aesthetically it's probably the best option and if you pull it tight and maintain your own gutters, there shouldn't be a problem.

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    If you use a decent grade of outdoor rated ethernet cable you may get away with running it inside the rain gutter. You would want to make sure you pull it tight so that nothing gets hung up on it.
