The TZ you are using matches from the wiki?
You are not referring the the "last seen date", right?
It won't expand &AI_dump, it just literally prints that text, whereas &CAM will expand it to the camera name. I didn't go back to older versions of BI nor ALPRdatabase, this is with 0.19 and 5.9.9.73.
I had the same issue, but with a different camera that also does not have focus presets, but does have a http call you can make to force the camera to focus in either direction. To make this work for me, I have a script that runs ever few hours during the day time to go to a preset, which...
Okay, I've found the issue and adding it here in case someone runs into this in the future. On this system, I was still running the older 0.18 code and when I upgraded to 0.19, it fixed the problem partially. It seems in newer versions of BI (certainly in 5.9.9.73, but NOT in 5.9.9.33), the...
Anyone running Blue Iris 5.9.9.73 (8/28/2025)? My BI system crashed and when it rebooted, it updated to 5.9.9.73, and suddenly I am no longer getting any saved plates in ALPR Dashboard. And I started to see this in the log:
10/4/2025, 8:43:55 PM [INFO] Received plate read data: [object...
My understanding is that this is a CPAI server issue--it is designed to use the older version of CUDA. The docs even tell you how to downgrade.

I think the band-aid approach is still very valuable as a built-in feature to correct misreads. OCR will always give some inaccurate readings, especially when we are trying to do this in various weather and lighting conditions. And given the challenges with CPAI slow development, maybe there...
The last few days, I've been playing with Llama3.2-vision and have been feeding it pictures of plates with mis-reads and also prompting it to describe the year, make, model, and color of the car, and the results were pretty remarkable. It's getting most of them right.
It had a little...
I don't use a GPU for my setup, but maybe you should run nvidia-smi and see what it shows? If your GPU is properly detected, it should show the driver and cuda version at the top.
Take a look at your docker compose file, you should have lines in there that look like this:
volumes:
- app-auth:/app/auth
- app-config:/app/config
- app-plate_images:/app/storage
volumes:
db-data:
app-auth:
driver: local
driver_opts:
type: none

Mine was 100000, and I just changed it to 200000, the retention period has always been 360 months.
From the logs, it looks like it was doing some JPEG prune (not sure if that is just the actual file prune, or if it also prunes the entry in the DB). This was the reason I just bumped the max...
Does anyone have more than 17K unique plate in their database?
I have noticed that my counter goes up to around 16K, then resets down to around 15K. I just noticed this over the last few weeks.
My DB is around 31MB, with around 35GB of plate images.
It does look like it is missing from...
After using this for a while, I think the critical thing missing is auto correction based on "also known as" plates. I am only having approx 50-60% correct read rates right now, and the misreads are usually very similar. For my situation, 90% of the reads are of vehicles I have seen before, so...
Have you considered using NodeRed to handle the automation? For example, have NR trigger on the MQTT topic and then filter out the driveway reads to do whatever post processing, including triggering one of your overview cameras to take a snapshot? I think core functionality should remain in...
