Been trying this model this morning and seems to be running fast and more accurate. Does it work any better than the bi-combined-v5 model? Well maybe a little more accuracy and a little faster. I'll leave it on a few cams and see how it goes.

Interesting. I've been following the other (YOLO8 vs. YOLO10) thread where another user mentioned this YOLO26 model and gave some hints on downloading direct from Ultralytics and converting the format, but perhaps you could elaborate or provide a means to directly download the model(s) you are using.

I suspect most of us will be quite envious of your detection times, but it's not surprising given the NVIDIA card you are using: frankly I'm surprised you even detected a difference from other models. What did it shave off, maybe 1-2ms?

I can give you some more detail regarding downloading the model...

The model can be found at YOLO26s Model by Ultralytics
You'll see tabs right below the charts, one of which is Export. Click on that and you'll be prompted to create a free account. Once you've done that (takes less than a minute) you'll be able to download the onnx version of the file. There's nothing required for the conversion to onnx, just select the export default values and download. Be sure to rename it to yolov26s.onnx and copy it to whatever directory that the AImodelpack.exe extracted to when you install it. Restart Blueiris and you're ready to select it.

Yes, maybe 3-5ms, but so many variables in conditions make that hard to say. The accuracy did go from the 80s to 90s% though. That is exactly where I dl the model. I just logged in as my github ID and you then add whatever model to your project and then you can export the model in the onnx format.

Here are the small and medium models :

Here I am testing on my demo machine using the onboard UHD 770 . Same time, but different camera angles. One using yolov26s and the other bi-combinedv5.
