I have some cameras that do not have a built in mic, but they are installed at a location with other cameras that do have audio. Would it be possible for BI to "import" the audio from one of those cameras in real time as it records the video?
I don't use Tailscale so I am not sure exactly what's involved, but one thing you should confirm is connectivity between BI to CPAI and BI to ALPRDB. Not just ping, you should verify tcp connectivity since Tailscale might be looking at layer 4 info.
Looks like you have an extra comma behind JSON, it should be:
{"ai_dump":&JSON, "Image":"&ALERT_JPEG", "camera":"&CAM", "ALERT_PATH":"&ALERT_PATH", "ALERT_CLIP":"&ALERT_CLIP", "timestamp":"&ALERT_TIME"}

I can't seem to see this as an option in the firmware I am using, but maybe it's a feature that needs to be enabled somehow via telnet? If this can be enabled, I think it'd be great...
The silkscreens on the PCBs have component placements, but I couldn't find a design date, only it's rev A, which is reflected on the UI screen. There nearest thing I can find to a production date is the camera module, which, if I had to guess based on the sticker, was made in 2021?
Maybe. I am a little surprised they would leave that out since it wouldn't offset the cost of having to manage another sku, different pcb, etc.
Now that I've seen the inside of the camera, I'm pretty impressed by the quality of it.
I took my camera apart, and unless the mic is hidden somewhere, it does not have an onboard mic. I would assume that if there was one, it would either be on the lens cover and would have a lead back to the main PCB, or on the PCB itself if it were meant to detect noise rather than record...
I have but couldn't get it to work. When I formatted the SD card, the camera crashed. I might have a bad SD card, and since I didnt need on camera storage, I didn't look further.
Line in required the signal to be around 1V or so, so you cannot just wire up a condenser mic to it, the signal level is too low. The device you have could be used as test to see if line in actually works. If it does, then there are "mic modules with line out" on amazon for about $4/each...
What are your timeout values in the main AI setup? Have you tried adjusting those up to see if that helps? The alert looks like it is being cancelled by AI, that's why it ignores the rest of it. Was this working prior to .49?
Thanks, it's been a while since I've used a camera w/o audio. I was hoping that it was the Vigilant firmware that disabled the audio, since they didn't need it, but the mic was on board, but looks like their standard firmware doesn't enable it either. What's kind of interesting as I was...
