[6.0.1.24] – 2026-1-23
Added
• Support for custom models using the built-in AI. The model must be an object
detection model with an ONNX extension and either the Yolo5, 8 or 10 format.
Anything else may cause hanging or instability; please send the model to support for
analysis if you are unsure.

Fixed
• A potential code ambiguity regarding use of global custom models and camera
overrides

what?

 

[MikeLud1]

what?

Yes!!!

It might be helpful to revisit the subject of what each model uses for naming of objects (capitalization of person vs. Person), and/or how these interact with BI's use of shorthand macros (persons, vehicles, wildlife) and where each can be used.
A matrix/table perhaps?

Not sure if I did something wrong. I dropped bi-combined-v5.onnx into the AI models folder. It shows up under "additional models"

But when I do an "analyze with AI" I get this:

I did the same thing and mine appears to be working. However, it's unclear how you define which model the camera is using.

You look to be set correctly, there looks to be an issue with the way BI does the post processing. The bi-general-v5.onnx model works fine. It looks like the bi-combined-v5 and bi-dark-v5 have issues.

Which ipcam-combined did you use (where did you download it). I will replace the file with the one you are using.

Sorry but I'm not using any ipcam models. The field in the screenshot I posted was previously filled in from when I first installed BI6.

I tried ipcam-combined and ipcam-animals, same wonky video comes up as above... 6.0.1.24

 

[MikeLud1]

At this time it looks like the general model only works until Ken fixes it.

 

[The_Penguin]

Thanks for confirming.

how bout that delivery model? is there an onxx version of it that might work?

I just tested 6.0.1.24 adding the ipcam-combined first by itself with no luck. I then added primary object detection along with ipcam-combined but the .dat file shows nothing about ipcam-combined model.



still getting same error on 6.0.1.25

 

[Tinman]

So am I thinking wrong here? If we want to just use a custom model we do NOT need the primary box checked?



Because this is what I get:



My loading error was due to me having IPcam-combined without the .onnz This seems to make that error go away:



on this cam I have the primary box checked as well. The ipcam-combined still does not work.



I also just tried the ipcam-general, same results:

Will your CodeProject models work? I'm looking for a delivery vehicle model.

See message #14 for the download link!

bored again, so I just tried the bi-combined-v5 model and it worked! running 6.0.1.25



so I assume none of the older ipcam models that were used with CPAI will work with the BIv6 built in AI.

Few things to note: When you add a model to C:\BlueIris\AI , then when in the camera's AI setting just uncheck "Additional models" and recheck it. It will then populate the box of the ones you added.

They should be the same models I just renamed the files
