    5.8.8 - March 4, 2024

    So I'm still confused. I'm only using custom models (not the default objects model). If I have a camera dedicated to license plates (for example) this seems to imply that all the other custom models (ipcam-general, ipcam-animal, ipcam-general combined, etc.) will fire, even if I've only listed a...

    How to train a custom YOLOv5 model using CodeProject.AI Training for YoloV5 6.2 module

    If your chosen object looks similar to another, then consider including images that could generate false positives. For example, if you are training a model to recognize horses, you might want include pictures of zebras without labels. That's probably not the best example, but you get the idea...

    How to train a custom YOLOv5 model using CodeProject.AI Training for YoloV5 6.2 module

    If you had thousands of pictures of Spot, you could definitely train a model on those pictures and it would be able to find Spot in other pictures you gave it. But the big problem is it may not necessarily know enough to distinguish Spot from a similarly shaped animal. If you want to get a...

    That doesn't match with the hash code for the latest version. What's the file size?

    AI error 500 how to capture that error

    Are you trying to find the cause of the 500 error? If so, the logs are your best bet. I believe you can have BI send you an email when it occurs, if you are just wanting to detect the error but not try to fix it.

    AI error 500 how to capture that error

    Assuming you are using CPAI, it maintains a log, usually under C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\logs And from the BI side, you can capture those logs too. Click the BI status icon (looks like a graph with a zigzag line) and go to the Log tab and make sure "Log to file" is checked.

    Date/Time overlay - Camera, or Blue Iris, or both?

    I am also in the camp that lets BI apply the timestamp. As I understand direct-to-disk and the BVR format, there isn't a re-encoding being done anymore. My initial reasoning for doing that was I found the in camera fonts to be ugly, a pain to synchronize, a pain to configure to look similar...

    code project ai 2.5.4 thinks everything is a person

    Are you using the default object model or a custom model; if custom, which one in particular? Which specific module are you using for object detection? YOLOv5 6.2, YOLOv5 NET or YOLOv8?

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to get a Deepstack instance running and see if I can reproduce your issues. What is it you see when you say it doesn't work?

    @MikeLud1, thanks for proposing this to @ChrisMaunder. I'd love them to get included in the CPAI install. Let me know if there is anything you need from me. Also, if I update the GitHub repository in the future, do I need to notify someone or will the install pull the latest each time? Mike...

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    Just to reiterate, when I'm talking about case, I'm talking about the possible objects (not the filename). In the USPS.pt model, the only object was "USPS". In mine, all the objects are lowercase (e.g. amazon, fedex, usps, etc.). As for updates, I uploaded each of the versions from before as...

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    I didn't create the USPS.pt model; I only used many of the images in the training of my delivery models. And yes, I did improve it with more images especially from actual security cameras and with doors open. I was using the YOLOv5 6.2 model on Deepstack prior to switching to CPAI. I believe it...

    I need a Ethernet/power cable pigtail...

    It should come with a pigtail for both Ethernet and separate power. But is there a reason you aren't just connecting it with PoE (Power over Ethernet) so you don't need a separate power connection at the camera? If you don't already have a PoE switch, but just want to power this one camera, you...

    DS-2CD2032-I Motion Not being Triggered

    Can you post your trigger settings for this camera? Are you using the built-in motion detection of the camera to trigger Blue Iris? Or are you using BI to detect the motion based on changed pixels?

    Interesting thought and maybe Ken is already thinking of optimizations that could be made. I know @MikeLud1 is doing some pre-processing of a plate (cropping, straightening) before sending it off to OCR. I don't know if he's got recommendations in improvements that Ken could add directly to BI...

    Ack! No wonder it was taking so long. Somehow in resetting my environment to work with YOLOv8, updating Python to 3.11, etc. it looks like pyTorch is NOT using the GPU. I'm figuring it out now. Thanks for the offer but I'd like to resolve this locally first. Update: It's processing now using...

    Just to give you an update... previously I could train a YOLOv5 model overnight. But though I think I've set up YOLOv8 similarly, it's taking quite a lot longer. When I started with the medium model (yolov8m.pt) it was upwards of an hour per epoch. Now, I've switched it to the small model...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    If it helps provide another data point, I'm not using the ALPR module and I'm using CPU only and I'm seeing the AI timeout 500 message in my logs too (on 2.51). Anything I can do to help narrow down the cause?

    How’s the trial version lately?

    The same download can run in demo/evaluation mode for 15 days. During that time it has all the same features as the full version except the words "Blue Iris Evaluation Version" appear on every camera feed and alert. After the 15 days, the program will stop running as a service, will no longer...

    Can anyone help with decrypting md5crypt hash?

    An MD5 hash is a one-way cryptographic function that takes a stream of data of any length and generates a fixed length digest value to be used to authenticate the message. In this case, the hash probably verifies that you have valid firmware from the manufacturer and not from a hacker. As a...

    Yeah just saw your post there. One thing that might be an issue is if your Windows Firewall on the BI PC is somehow blocking the message from the ST hub. As a test, you might temporarily turn off your Windows Firewall and then either reboot the ST hub (yet again) or change the IP settings on...

    Have you tried a reboot of your ST hub? When the Edge Device Driver gets loaded, it should contact your running Edgebridge server and let it know its IP address which is placed in the registration file. If you aren't seeing that, there's an issue with the handshake. There are ways to debug that...
