    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    1.8 update is about ready. The image is available on Dockerhub for anyone who wants to update. I haven't written the changelog/release notes yet and might tweak a few minor things, but mostly just styling. I was able to use the update script to install it. Took about 30 seconds. Would...

    Once the sensor transmits, it's instant. I think the reason it takes a bit in the car menu is because of the interval or the car telling them to transmit. While it's possible in theory to encounter a duplicate, the combinations should be plenty large for this. Very very very low probability of...

    Finally fixed. Old plate number is no longer left behind with zero and the count is correctly updated.

    Looking for input from others to work out the logic to actually make the associations for the TPMS readings. The busier your street is, the harder it is going to be to do it accurately. In the most simplistic case with very low traffic, we can just use the timestamps and determine that if we...

    This is gonna be a pretty enormous update. Added a page similar to what Motorola has on the police computers while they're driving around. If you leave this up, it will just update with a full screen display of the info whenever a car drives by.

    The alpr database is definitely wide open to all sorts of code injection... Could probably figure out who it is through that lol. I do see the user in my metrics database, but I don't have anything that would identify them. It looks like only one instance to me though. About 4k plates total.

    App. If you watch the video on YT desktop is plays as a short and it makes it look weirdly narrow for the frame. It's not like that in real life. I always have to turn my phone sideways on safari for be able to read anything in the app, so this is nice to have.

    Sort of off topic, but here's something interesting to try: Censys Search for exposed Blue Iris servers in your town/city (replace the state/city with your query locations) I found a bunch near me, including someone I know - had no idea they were a BI user. Censys and shodan will turn up all...

    TPMS Dashboard Concept: OCR isolation finally working: This means the AI training functionality is pretty much finished. Important to note here that an update to the ALPR module was made to be able to prepare the images like this, so the trainable plate records will begin being collected...

    I mean, yeah, partly. But I'm sure many are still accurate. Most people keeping cars for quite a while. And even if there's a sale. It's still somewhere to start.

    California DMV registration data leak disclosure California has had so many sensitive data leaks it's kind of insane. I did a quick search thinking it wouldn't be unlikely the DMV was compromised at some point. There it is lol. While I definitely can't build anything into the app that...

    California has a code with a bunch of requirements for using ALPRs, but it all relates to security disclosures and the use of personal information. So it really only applies to gov agencies, insurance companies, large corporations etc. who have actual personal information tied to all the...

    Ahhh, you're totally right. I just saw the below on their website which suggests that they're offering DMV lookup access to private businesses???? Do you know if that's true? I might try to add amber alert integration if it's not too hard.

    On the topic of detecting fake plates: An HOA near me has a $5,000/yr subscription to a company called Flock Safety for 2 ALPR cameras on their little private road. I was looking at the Flock app (which actually looks very cool. Might take some inspiration from it) and it seems like they...

    I was looking at some like this on digikey that seemed to be a bit better quality. It is a bit tough to find module versions (not IC) that are of decent quality since this is sort of old technology now. I'd like to use something like this though for sure.

    Ik it doesn’t have the processing in it. The night image just looked so crisp tho so I’m wondering if the cam itself will be any better

    I got the AI image processing almost working! Going to make sure everything is organized the best way possible this weekend, then it should be ready for release. I think I showcased this before, but for those who have been correcting their records (very helpful for the AI btw), this should be a...

    I ordered one of the Motorola cameras that @TheWaterbug mentioned previously. Hoping it might contain some free billion dollar magic for 30 dollars... What I have noticed with the lyorta's is that they are very hesitant to switch IR/daylight modes. You really need to set a manual schedule in...

    I tried the double SDR w RPI 4, and it was working ok... Not phenomenal, but part of that could have been antennae. The main reasons I want to try a homebrew alternative are the cost, heat, and over-provisioning. I realized that that TI IC I linked before would be more complicated to use, but...

    Re: mounting to utility pole: @TheWaterbug 's idea is pretty clever and it's probably true that something like that could last a decade before anyone questioned it lol. That being said, you could probably just plop it on a pole and wait until (if ever) someone notices. Doubtful any lineman is...

    It's not super frequent. 1-2x per minute. Unless you have a humungous property that takes that long to drive by and have multiple receivers, it won't be an exact science. My thinking is that most burglers tend to pass by at least one other time before or after taking action, in order to scope...

    The output looks like this: I was able to capture a few from inside my house about 50 feet from the street, but it's not very reliable. There's not really any way around needing at least something closer to the street. The limitation is mainly from the low tx power of the tmps sensor itself...

    It has been 95% done for a couple weeks. I couldn't get Mike's ALPR code to work on my machine and was trying to troubleshoot that off and on. Finally figured it out yesterday. All I had to do was add some extra Python imports. Now that I have it working, I can get the data I need from the...

    This is part of what’s so nice about this though. Even if u were to have the most sophisticated criminals who are somehow aware that you’re doing this, what are they gonna do? Go to a tire shop and get all their wheels taken off and have them removed? I can just imagine how pissed off I would...

    Yes. Secondary form of PII to store in the database so you can still identify vehicles if they remove their license plate. Little POE box you can run out to the street. Needs to be as close as possible.

    I've been thinking about the TPMS solution, and I think I have a significantly better approach. I consulted a friend with more electronics expertise to ask about making something a bit more custom, and this seems like the way. The last thing I tried was 2x RTL-SDRs w a Raspberry Pi and a POE...

    @smallik Upon closer inspection of your log screenshot, the fact that it's complaining about tags being missing doesn't track with the issue being caused by just the migrations file missing. I'm thinking that may not quite fix it. I don't really understand how this happened the first time...

    Yep, right on, as usual. The below is also very helpful to me for writing the troubleshooting page. Docs are almost finished. Not likely to add any value for anyone who has been following along, but should be much better for new users. Can serve as a reference too. I'm also going to record two...
