For those of you having detection issues what performance mode are you running Deepstack in? Default is medium but you can mess with the accuracy using High also...
I set mine to High, it takes a little more CPU but to be honest I'm not seeing massive delays or anything crazy. Maybe a few seconds tops to process an image.
My setup is an i7700k running ESXi w/ 32GB ram.
I have BI on a dedicated VM with 12GB ram assigned and 4 core. My 7 cameras are all running 4k 20fps 16k bitrate (max) @ h265 25/7 recording (14TB hdd). I have sub-stream enabled and set to max also and use this for alerting.
Home Assist is setup in a second VM and Deepstack is on that via portaner. I have that set to use 2 cores and 4gp.
I set the env mode to High. AI
tools runs on the BI host so the images are local to it and just sent to AI for processing.
It is literally 2 seconds give or take 1 to process an image. It seems to only add another second if I disable sub-stream and make it process 4k images.
So for detection issues you need to make sure you have your sub-stream quality maxed and bit rate max if you want best detection and set DS AI to High mode maybe if you're not getting what you want.
I am getting some FP's though like sometimes it thinks a fire hydrant is a person or a plant that's fairly far away is a person but this is also using sub-stream images. I might just ditch sub-stream unless BI can update. BI has a setting to use high definition images for alerts etc. but if you're using sub-streaming this doesn't seem to do anything since they are already poop quality. I'd love to see him change it so toggling that box makes it use main stream for the snap shot but when he created that option originally sub-streaming wasn't even a dream so maybe soon it can be and that will also help detection.
Anyway just wanted to share about the deepstar performance mode. I noticed no one has mentioned it as of yet. Everyone is after these simple plug and play solutions but doesn't seem to want to do any actual research on the tools used to help reduce efforts required by others. I get it. I love plug and play also but no one size solution will work for everyone. Please take some time to read through how deepstack works and configuration options etc. this could save many of you troubles and help answer some questions.
