    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Wow so I figured it out what the issue was, thanks so much @PeteJ and everybody else who helped debug this. Originally, I was on 5.9.9.19 and the settings shown in post 933 did NOT work for me. I then UPGRADED TO 5.9.9.44, adjusted my settings to post980, and it started working. So I downgraded...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Ok so on my subsequent wipe (full delete of directory, removal of containers/images/volumes in docker before re-installing using the docker image and also checking the MD5 of schema.sql and migrations.sql to match the official ones from the latest main Github), I forgot to update the API key in...

    Thanks so much @PeteJ @VideoDad - I did not see these earlier, but I did find the discussions on the Git project with several similar comments and same issues on my end.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Thanks for the clarification! It seems that the default docker image has some permission issues with the database, see thread here: https://github.com/algertc/ALPR-Database/discussions/55 At first I was getting this error: [ERROR] Error processing request: error: there is no unique or exclusion...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    I deleted the app and restarted a couple times without fixing the dll issue, finally remembered I got the docker version to work at some point and ended up just using the latest cuda docker image, with directories bound (on Windows) so the modules persist. Also started running into an...

    Ok just tried this and ran into an error I saw earlier today, "ALPR_adapter.py: Could not locate cublasLt64_11.dll. Please make sure it is in your library path!" What I did earlier was locate these missing cublas*.dll's and copy them directly over into the .py directory.. ---- Copied the 2 dll's...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    I set up the my camera, BlueIris & CodeProject all working perfectly from a couple years ago but recently I updated CodeProject and license plates are no longer being recognized. Are we still supposed to be using Object Detection (YOLOv5 6.2)? In Explorer mode, object detection flags DayPlate...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    So I read the thread and set up BlueIris & CodeProjectAI, and everything is working great in terms of automatically capturing footage and recognizing license plates during the day. However, I do not get any alerts during night-time hours, my alerts basically start from say, 7am to 7pm and then...

    According to IPVM, it's ~132 ft from the camera to the capture point. Ok let me try it with 1/1000 and set the iris to <=40 to see if that gets me anything

    First foray into LPR, with IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E

    I adjusted the camera angle more, finally figured out that I can actually swivel the physical base of the camera as well so now I have the camera physically tilted ~45 degrees (maybe a bit more) and I'm capturing images in 1920x1080 instead of having to rotate the image 90 degrees. Note: for...

    First foray into LPR, with IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E

    I fiddled with it a bit more earlier in the day and it seems to start to pick up plates for ALPR at least during the day. Will have to check to see if it misses any tomorrow! Not having any luck at night though, have tried the various settings from other users on the forums. Will see if any of...

    First foray into LPR, with IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E

    I'm trying to see if I can get this done without having to get a ornamental lightpost or something like that closer to the road, ha. Will play with the zoom some more and see if I can get a better image of the plates sufficient for LPR and change the angle a bit more to try and get a straighter shot
