you have to use a separate solution like OpenALPR - Automatic License Plate Recognition
start a thread posting images and details...there are openlpr users who can help youbeen trying Openalpr for days and cannot get it to read. So far it has only picked up 2 license plates. I am using a good dahua Z12.

Plate Recognizer is now integrated with Blue Iris 5.0! I got going in 2 minutes (after I got free trial from Plate Recognizer website). The fun part is now setting the motion detection. You can get more info here: Plate Recognizer Integrated With Blue Iris - High Accuracy ANPR
Did you ever get this resolved? I just stumbled upon your thread and wonder if the camera itself doesn't have some kind of privacy mask you can enable...Correct on BI motion detection features, but that does not have an impact on what Plate Recognizer (or OpenALRP) uses to detect a license plate. If there is a readable plate in the picture, both services will attempt to read the plate - regardless on BI's motion settings. The 'Detection Mask' feature in Open ALRP allows you to block out an area of the image from plate detection, looking for a way to do that in PR.
You have plate recognizer setup like this and it works? Do you have the date and time overlays on your cameras and does it keep picking up those numbers as plates? That's the main issue.My reply may be a bit late, but you can use zones to capture the right frame.
Just clone the camera, so the original one can capture the whole clip. The cloned camera, you put up 3 zones (or maybe 5). The first zone should include the whole picture. Then you can let Blue Iris trigger when the car moves from the second to the third zone, or fourth to fifth zone.
I have it setup this way, and it works pretty good.
Thanks. I guess I don't need the overlay, I was just thinking if law enforcement ever needed plate captures, it would be good to have the date and time right there.I have disabled the date and time overlays on my cameras. I do not need it, and blue iris remembers the time without overlays.
But if you need the overlay,you can work around the problem. Just clone the camera, en in blue iris, camera settings, video, choose Area of interest. And you can select a part of the image without the overlay.
If you send an image to platerecognizer with overlay, then it is not going to work. But I found it is better to have a separate camera for platerecognizer, because of the short trigger and record times.
