FWIW, I have uses a NUC as a build / dev database server for years with zero issue, and it runs 24/7. CPU isn’t taxed al the time, so we may be talking apples and oranges. the only issue I’m having with it after 4 years is the CPU fan buzzes occasionally and I need to replace it soon.

Ok good info. Thanks to all for the feedback. This gives Me some direction and ideals. Why is Movidius considered unreliable on windows? I’ve had zero issue with them on PIs for CV.

So I do some AI tinkering using Intel Movidius sticks on the RPI as well as windows development, and saw that someone here made an AI plugin for DeepStackAI. I found it in this guy's video: DeepStackAI supports the Intel Movidius neural processor on the Raspberry PI (Alpha). The Intel...

This would work if it were outdoor and I could power it with solar. I think I'm going to just end up using a Foscam G4 WIFI (or maybe the 1080p version) and run the power. A solar option is what I was hoping for to allow me to mount them where I'd planned - but I'll just have to figure...

Yes, I have utility power. I'm not too concerned about false alerts being uploaded to the RPi. What I am concerned about is the camera uploading over the LTE connection on false alerts and using up all my LTE data. On the RPi, I'll expect to use some custom computer vision code, leveraging...

I have a remote cabin with an LTE connection for Internet. I am going to put a raspberry pi there to act as an ftp server, and to email me alerts (but not images to keep bandwidth down). I'm trying to find a solar powered IP camera that uses wifi, has motion detection, and will send stills to...

Thanks for the feedback! Reading the license plate via OCR would be nice - but human readable is adequate for purposes of this project. I see a lot of the cameras have motion detection, and can grab a video segment or multiple snapshots - but the camera I have right now - when it detects...

Hi Andy - I'm working on a project for my town to capture a photo of every vehicle that passes a sign, day or night. The road speed limit is 50mph. Which camera would you recommend we test? Is the motion detection good enough to capture a clear image of a vehicle passing at speed? Also -...

How fast does it save the stills? The camera I have now has an SD card slot - but when it's saving an image to FTP it doesn't capture. I'll put in a high speed SD Card in it and do more testing - but yeah - if it can snap the pictures and get every vehicle, this would work great!

Yeah - I was thinking about stuff like that. This isn’t for speed enforcement, and the like. More a crime deterrent. That being said - is it technically possible using a Pi?

So, my town has asked me to try and build them something that will be mounted next to the road. Big flashing sign "Local PD welcomes you" - they want it to scream surveillance. The cars will pass by at 50mph or so. The goal isn't to read the plates (but I'd like to be able to) - but to get a...

Question - how fast are the cars going when you get these? 30mph? 15mph? 45?

Can dahua cameras be configured via an API? So someone like me could make a script to setup new cameras without having to use the UI? Sorry if this is a stupid question - but I'm new here.. :)

Hi everyone! I found this forum because of a project I'm trying to build. First, thanks to everyone for all the insight, research, and sharing that goes on here! I've learned a lot and hope to be able to contribute someday. My project is I'm trying to build a system that watches oncoming cars...

Did you look at any alternatives to openALPR? $1000 a camera for the commercial version is too high, and is apparently required if you want to process RTSP streams.
