    I still have this agent branch that I have kept separate. I think adding proper semantic search with vectors of each altert image would be huge, but we need a model to do that, and depending on large paid models seems kind of conterintuitive to the whole goal of having self hosted surveilance...

    Forgot to post video of this. Here's the apple TV app I was talking about. Works really well in test mode on my TV, but again, I have to update my MacOS to make it public. Really really fast streams, even after coming through BI. Working great. m

    I'll have to look into this further. That seemed to resolve things testing with the sample input on my end. Please share anything else you see in the logs. The plate_number option especially has been pretty much free of issue since the original release, so I'm a bit stumped. When I have more...

    Alright, apologies for the delay. I thought I was going to have time to deal with that, but I was heading out to a wedding yesterday. I just pushed a docker build with the :nightly tag that should fix this. @avro201 can you please test this and see if it fixes your issue? In the Docker...

    “In no means proficient at this” - well your reports are very helpful and this is the first time I’ve seen anyone post the error with the specific columnar format, so you seem pretty savvy to me. It seems like this is actually a much more simple issue than I thought. Some people had reported...

    I didn't notice this part before: "Unfortunately, I get the same "Not Null Constraint" error." I don't really understand why this is happening and will have to investigate more. The violation of the constraint means that the app is decoding the api request and not getting a plate number out of...

    @avro201 no need to apologize at all. This is part of what the thread is for, and it helps me understand what needs to improve. Yes, that is what I mean. That looks correct to me. Additional reference available on the docs site and in the GitHub readme. Please try that and report back if it...

    Try using the plate macro instead of &JSON for now. Seems like something changed in CPAI or BI that’s causing issues parsing the AI response. I think this is related to Pete’s issue. Nothing is wrong with your BI. The output from CPAI is just kind of dense and alpr db needs to be able to handle...

    Thank you @PeteJ - will check with that. I built the AI secondary verification feature yesterday and it works right now, but not if there are multiple plates in the same image. I have an idea of how to get that worked out. The way it works right now: Enable secondary verification and add your...

    It's because the macro is called &JSON in Blue Iris. AI_dump was just my random name for it within the app.

    Maybe try adding an email alert with &JSON and see if you can email it to yourself. I think that should work.

    Recent similar GitHub issue: getting error in alpr · Issue #72 · algertc/ALPR-Database Like you mention, and I say in that GitHub issue, I made changes that seem to fix part of this in the last update. Seems like I still need to make the parsing more robust. It’s the multiple plate numbers in...

    Yes, I did see. The AI agent branch I was working and actually has this full functionality with the ability to backfill all past recognitions. Seems like Mike has something in the works. Like I’ve said, we should aim to address the functionality at its roots. As a fallback solution If we can’t...

    I'll start with trying the secondary confirmation to google/openai. If that isn't sufficient (it really should be), I'll build the direct forwarding functionality. As far as the training data goes, the images needed for the OCR are actually even more cropped in than what the license plate model...

    Absolutely agree and would love to hear any further suggestions from anyone for how this should be implemented. I see this as a traffic intelligence tool, and that's a critical piece in order to understand and archive all traffic passing by your property. This is true, and even Flock Safety...

    Not dead. I'd actually really like to have it work. The reason that it's stalled is because my SDR can't seem to receive and decode the transmissions anymore. It worked at one point. Tried 3 different SDRs. I have a full cable run specifically for the radio box all the way out to my street. No...

    I've gotten lots of images for the plate detection model, which just identifies that there is a license plate in the frame, but because of the status with CPAI and the slow updates, almost no images for the actual OCR. Mike added the necessary data for the character recognition a while ago, but...

    100% I’m interested and have been planning for faces. Trying to nail this down end to end first, but that’s where I’m heading for sure. If you could investigate the ability to manage the message history and trigger based on items within the payload, that would be great. To me, it seems like...

    I Working on this part now. I completely see the value and necessity of being able to notify based on tags and other criteria. I've thought through and think I have a good solution for how to create a notification rule builder class, but I can't promise camera-specific topics at the moment...

    I just pushed a new image which, at least as far as I can tell......... is complete for this release. I haven't updated the version number yet or created the release on github because I wanted to see if the MQTT setup works the way people needed and also give people the chance to try to find any...

    Hmm ok. This seems a little odd, but I know there was a HA BI integration, so maybe that’s why it looks like this. Makes sense but I should double check that that works. I think I’ll just docker a test HA instance and go through the process of setting up the broker and figuring it out. As I...

    This is pretty much how it will look. Everything done except the actual full payload in the mqtt handler. If you have multiple topics that you want to use from the same broker you need to add another "broker" for each one. I did it this way because it's just much less complex and doesn't really...

    Can someone advise on exactly how the payload sent to HA is supposed to look in MQTT? How am I supposed to send the image? Having a hard time finding online... Here is what the test button sends right now: Topic: alprdatabase QoS: 0 { "timestamp": "2025-08-01T00:10:50.246Z", "plate_number"...

    Alright sounds good. I can definitely include all of that and make it customizable. I need to look into the mqtt library I'm using and figure out if/how they do fancier dynamic payloads. For example, if you want to have a custom title or message with it or something or that sort. The attributes...

    This will be ready this evening :) Edit: Question, do people need to be able to send to multiple MQTT topics? Right now, it looks like this to enter your broker and topic, but I'm wondering if I should change it to be a list of multiple that you can then select from in the notification page. LMK
