    It's not too hard to push all the LPR data to an external database. I'm running Node Red on my Blue Iris machine and MySQL on a Raspberry Pi to do this, but if you have enough CPU horsepower everything could be run on the one BI machine. I have searchable tag data and alert images back to...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    That was back in January, and I don't remember other than my next post later that day which was: "Working for me again after upgrading to 5.6.9,2"

    Access to BI from external Network / Blocked OpenVPN

    If the company allows the Tailscale app on your phone, you can run the client there and on the BI machine and use Tailscale to connect. I just started using Tailscale, although not for BI access as I have BI's web server exposed to the internet via port forwarding and an NGINX proxy on my...

    Node Red Dashboard for Blue Iris ALPR

    Under the heading of "More options, more better" If you want to use Grafana instead of Node Red to search and display the images, you can do that too. This Grafana dashboard uses the Dynamic Image Panel plugin. It displays the images within the selected timeframe using the 'tag' search box at...

    What makes it better or worse? The note in the manual from when immediate actions was added to BI says "A new action set “immediate actions” has been added to the Trigger tab in camera settings. This action set runs before alert AI confirmation." I have mine set to only alert on DayPlate and...

    I guess it works either way, but that isn't where I have my MQTT alert configured. I have it in Alerts -> On Alert -> Web Request or MQTT.

    So I asked Blue Iris support: and the response was:

    Are you running NVIDIA CUDA or a built-in Intel GPU? Those response times seem really long. I'm running an NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 with 2 GiB of RAM and mostly get sub 100ms responses, with the slowest ones still around 500ms. I think I'm on the latest version of BI and CPAI and I'm only using...

    I had some similar issues and in my case Blue Iris support said the AI return can be discarded if it comes back too late. The image with the license plate is at T+0, and the last image was at T+2000, which makes sense for your settings of 10 images @ 200ms. But the response time for that T+0...

    I don't disagree that Blue Iris should be flexible to accommodate different use cases. Since I'm using Plate Recognizer and don't have unlimited image analyses, I can't (or at least, I don't want to pay more for) multiple images per alert to be analyzed, so I'll never have a 'highest confidence'...

    I would be really surprised to see any sort of post-processing built into Blue Iris, unless there is some way to crowd-source the algorithms that would be needed to identify which of the thousands of US license plate designs is in the image and then pattern match the letters/numbers based on...

    Node Red Dashboard for Blue Iris ALPR

    There's still space being reserved for the invisible calendar icon, which is causing your from: date to get cut off. Try changing the template node in the LPR Mobile flow to this: and see if that looks better.

    Node Red Dashboard for Blue Iris ALPR

    Someone asked for a list of all the nodes that are used in these flows, as some of them are not packaged with the standard install of Node Red. These are all the items listed in the palette in my Node Red. node-red node-red-contrib-fs-ops node-red-contrib-moment node-red-contrib-sqlstring...

    Node Red Dashboard for Blue Iris ALPR

    Take a look at the V2 version I uploaded a little while ago. It gets rid of the "Database Search" title, fits the from/to dates on one line, and hides the date picker icons. That gives you a little more vertical room for the data table. I added the updated version screenshot to the original post.
