    Installing a CCTV camera on a tiled roof

    The lower height (between 7' to 9') is desirable because you can capture faces better (rather than the top of someone's head. As for concerns about vandalism, consider mounting additional cameras that have overlapping views so they couldn't reach the camera without being recorded, possibly from...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Thank you again @prsmith777! A couple quick questions on a migration from an existing Docker installation on Windows: 1. Where does the new database get installed? I'm assuming the existing ALPR DB installation of PostgreSQL 13 under Docker is unaffected and can still be used in parallel with...

    Thanks for all the detail. Given I'm completely in the Windows ecosystem for servers, backup/restore, RDP, etc. and I don't really have any available hardware to switch to Linux. I only have Docker running for ALPR DB. I guess I'll need to start asking AI how to set that up. Do I need a full...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I have it all working fine with 9 cameras and the existing ALPR DB with native Windows. I'm just asking @prsmith777 if there is any easy way to setup his new community version but under Windows instead of having to switch to a Linux VM, or Linux running a Windows VM.

    I have a Dell My Blue Iris PC is a Dell SFF 8050 with a 6th Gen i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a 6TB HDD running Windows 10. No separate GPU. It's running Blue Iris 5.9.9.88, CP.AI and Docker for ALPR DB. I'm not sure if I'm ready to convert it to a Linux box running a virtualized Windows OS...

    I'm sorry to ask this, but I could use a little more direction on how to get started. I'm not even understanding where this installation script is and how to start it. Also, I have Docker running on the same Windows machine as Blue Iris. Is this sufficient? Can I use WSL as the Linus VM?

    I'm still not understanding the way to migrate from the original version to the fork by @prsmith777, especially the database or how to regularly update to new versions, etc. Any insight you can provide since you've looked further into the fork than I have. Also, what would be the way to start...

    New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module

    I have another question related to this. I have mainstream images turned on to get high quality images sent in alerts. Is this fixed now where I can use the substream for AI detection, but still get the HQ image for sending with the alert?

    Thanks for this detailed information. Would there be a way to install this as a separate instance so I could run old and new in parallel? You say to save the existing data because it won't migrate, but are there any details on the database differences. I'm not ready to lose all my existing...

    New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module

    Right, I understand that. But you asked which one I'm hoping you'll retain for YOLO11 and that would be it. And I've seen prior requests for the same. Anyway, I'll switch to the v5 version in the meantime.

    New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module

    Mike (@MikeLud1), I'm still on 5.9.9.89 running CPAI. I know your focus is on the built-in AI in Blue Iris v6. Is there a way to get your models for BI6 and use them in BI5 using CPAI and this YOLO11 .NET module? In particular, what models have you regenerated for BI6 and where are they...

    Funny / Satire

    Those Zenith remotes didn't use power and instead struck metal bars inside to create ultrasonic frequencies. It was always a fun party trick to scrape a comb or jingle some keys and make the TV change channels.

    Charlie was in the process of creating a "Gen 2" version with a new database, a notification/rules engine, etc. and said he was very close. Anyone know if that is available to view and start testing? Maybe he can just jump into this conversation for a moment and give us an update and perhaps...

    I just want to know that Charlie (@algertc) is okay. I know he was having health scares and a lot of life changes, a move, a new job and other pressures. Hopefully he'll stop by and give us an update.

    Somehow part of your database schema didn't get updated to the latest version. Try manually reapplying the schema.sql and migrations.sql. Grab the updated schema.sql and migrations.sql directly from the ALPR-Database GitHub Repository. Move the fresh files into your local host directory mapped...

    Ver 6.0.9.6 Built-In AI - using Delivery or USPS.onnx custom models failing to Detect usps

    I'm still on BI 5.9.9.64 with CPAI using the YOLOv8 model (delivery.pt) so can't easily test the ML/NET/ONNX version in BI6. The YOLOv8 NET model (delivery.onnx) is built directly from the YOLOv8 model (delivery.pt), so my assumption is it should work unless BI 6 handles custom models...

    I'm not on BI6 so haven't been able to test my delivery models on that version. I'm willing to rebuild them, but out of curiosity, which model are people downloading? https://github.com/VideoDad/AI-Models

    I'm also wondering if there is something we could do to help with either fixing issues in the existing repository, or working with @algertc to speed up development of the next version of ALPR Database that he was working on. I'd love to help but I've been out of active development for awhile...

    I'm not sure what you are asking... Blue Iris doesn't have direct access to the ALPR database so doesn't know the associated tag or name. That was the point of it coming from ALPR that it can enrich the output with stuff it knows.

    One thing you could do is to find one instance of the old (retired) plate in the plates read table and treat it as a correction to the new plate. Toggle the setting for doing all plate reads and they'll now all point to the new plate. So if it was 7OLD777 and is now 8NEW888, then all the...

    I really hope you'll reconsider and add a table of common misreads to each known plate and add the ability to autocorrect the plates. The main use case I have is not an error with the recognition. I have few neighbors who have license plate frames that cover the bottom of the letters. Think E...

    This looks pretty neat and can't wait (I mean I can wait, but I don't want to). Is this in the new architecture application you're working on? I'm also hoping there will be a way to run both the old and new versions concurrently (I assume with separate databases and separate ports but hopefully...
