    Dahua Inaccurate Time Related Issues

    Assuming your cameras don't have internet access (they shouldn't), you should have an internal source of network time (NTP server). That could be your NVR, a PC, or your router. In my case, the router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) is setup to be the source of NTP so that's what is configured in the NTP...

    It's the "roadmap" accessible directly from the top of the dashboard page. It's the 3rd icon that looks like a road.

    Out of curiosity, is there a way to see the statistics on number of installs, record counts, earliest read, etc.?

    Can you try running the migration manually like @hopalong did? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/full-alpr-database-system-for-blue-iris.79082/post-917256 Also, what do you see in your ALPR DB log (second to last icon)? Are you still seeing database errors?

    What does this mean? Are there people connecting to my Blue Iris?

    Yes, I'm just reminding people that while it may seem convenient, having your computers open via port forwarding is risky. Try putting in your city and state and you might be surprised how many ones you see nearby you.

    @svalvasori, is your install of ALPR Database on Windows or Linux? Those MD5 hashes do seem to match the latest files. Have you tried rerunning the docker commands from your ALPR folder? docker compose pull docker compose up -d

    Which version of BI are you running with ALPR Database + CPAI?

    I've run this with a much older version of BI and the most recent. And also an older version of CPAI and the most recent. As long as you are seeing plates detected and recording as flagged clips, then it shouldn't matter which versions you are using. The call to the ALPR Database is identical...

    You have the exact same symptoms as that earlier thread. Your database schema doesn't seem to be up to date. Can you look in your ALPR folder and post the timestamps of your schema.sql, migrations.sql and docker-compose.yml?

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

    What is it you are trying to accomplish? That's a set of data that is ready to be used for training. But it has more than just vehicle license plates so you'd have to go through and throw out objects that you didn't want. The result would be a trained model that could detect when an image...

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

    Personally, I would try using Collab on a test project and see how far you can take it. I think it's better to first determine if you can make a training data set and get some results using someone else's hardware first. Or if you have a low end GPU (for example I started with a 1050Ti), see...

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

    That's a training data set, meaning someone had to go through each image and tag objects that were important to their training objective. In this case, the person is putting rectangles around cars, license plates, etc. but ignoring street signs, lamp posts, buildings, etc. There are some tools...

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

    Then I suppose you could break each image into smaller fixed images. So maybe 18 images that are each 640 × 720. You'd have to get a batch program for cropping and first run it for a crop of (0,0) to (639,719). Then for (640,0) to (1279,719), etc. Each time you move over 640 pixels in...

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

    Is the vehicle always in a certain region of the picture? If so there are programs that will do a batch crop to a predefined rectangle. Alternatively, if you are handy with programming, you could have each photo run through AI detection for a vehicle, that returns a rectangle for the vehicle...

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

    Are you trying to train your own model? Or just use the existing ALPR model? And are you trying to detect the presence of a license plate in the frame, or actually read the letters/numbers on the plate? The YOLO models generally work by turning the input image into a 640 × 640 square then...

    Are you seeing the plate detected in BI? The call to the ALPR Database doesn't include a plate, so either it's not being detected by the ALPR module in BI, or you're not sending the correct string in the call from BI. Please confirm that first.

    So are you saying only data read using the ai_dump tag, will have the requisite info for training and I don't have to worry about my reads from affecting things if I still use the memo or plate calls?

    I'm not presently using the ALPR module to do my plate reads; using the free PlateRecognizer instead (<2500 plates per month). I'm also feeding in my delivery vehicle detections as if they were plates. What effect will that have on the data sent for training? My delivery data isn't truly a...

    Uh oh! Somebody who is using the ALPR Database may want to switch from port forwarding to VPN. Your ALPR login page is accessible as is your CodeProject.AI server. The latter doesn't even have a password, so someone can see the dashboard, reconfigure things, look at your logs, etc.
