    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Alright yeah that figures. I was very skeptical.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    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...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Hi, @smallik You're very close. This seems like a very minor issue with the database schema, which is what defines how the tables and columns are structured. The error is stating that there is a relation missing. Normally, this should be created automatically and should exist in the...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I'm working on the AI training. Turning out to be a bit harder than expected. Hitting some minor roadblocks in getting python model adjustments to work... Hopefully will be able to sort out soon. My work kind of goes in cycles of downtime and extremely long hours, so I'm hoping to have another...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Jeez yeah if that's paper/fake we're gonna need some smarter CV people to get on the case... I wouldn't personally have much confidence in developing anything to distinguish that... It's possible that @MikeLud1 's state recognition might be able to grab the other parts and flag anything that...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    While this might not be the easiest to do in the immediate future, I definitely see the value and would like to be able to flag those myself. Once we can get an improved recognition model working with the current situation, this could be an interesting thing to try to integrate. I doubt there...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I've been working on the ALPR module integration and talking to @MikeLud1. I think we are making very good progress, all things considered. I've been quite busy this week, but we will definitely have something upgraded and very good soon. TPMS iz also my main priority now that other bugs are...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I would love to hear any way to distinguish fraudulent plates. Anything like that would actually be at the top of my priority list. I live with my parents in a decently nice neighborhood, but there are still quite a lot of thefts. I'm all for anything that might catch any burglars.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    What exactly do you mean @PeteJ ? I'm all for more ways to catch threat actors, but I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Distinguishing between paper plates is well beyond what we are currently able to do, but the ALPR is getting very good, and we will be able to detect most plates very...

    Mobile will look something like this. Tap and hold on the record to bring up action options. Coming soon...

    Current is 1.7. Guessing that was just a typo. I will add the code to show it somewhere in the settings.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I'm creating a full documentation site for the app. I have FAQ and Troubleshooting sections set up, but not content yet. I would greatly appreciate any input for either of those sections. I went back through the thread, but so much has changed so it's hard to know. I'm mostly focused on...

    Auxiliary IR Illuminator for LPR

    Something to keep in mind with these is that certain IR wavelengths will attract insects way more than others. I have a few of the unit in the post above and they were fine, but some of the larger units caused crazy bug problems for me after a while to the point where I had to get an...

    Install and update scripts for Windows available now in the repo. install.ps1 , update.ps1 AI training is very nearly done. Just working out some processing kinks with the cropping and rotation of the image. Once that's finished, I'm going to focus on getting a working TPMS and Bluetooth...
