    Is CodeProject.AI done?

    That's why I said on-prem which usually doesn't have a subscription. Rekognition is still reasonably priced with 5000 images for free in tier and then $0.001 per image for the first million images in tier 1. For my purposes, the free tier is fine since I only hit 3 to 4k motion events per month...

    Is CodeProject.AI done?

    Code Project is like an old dinosaur compared to other on prem solutions available today. The world of AI has exploded with quantum leaps in just the last couple of years yet Code Project is virtually unchanged. I'm still using Beta 2.0.8 and just looked at the release notes to see if there were...

    Ordered Sony SNC-VB770 Image Sensor Size 35MM :)

    That's irrelevant. The temp at any time will not be effected by anything longer than about 30 minutes prior. That said, I'm going to swap out a thermostat for an activation of 105 degrees (current is 95). The camera is perfectly safe occasionally reach 110F. It's speced for 122F.

    Zoomed in on 1 day. Sorry about the labels. Blue is the camera enclosure and red is outside.

    Ordered Sony SNC-VB770 Image Sensor Size 35MM :)

    Had to finally hook up power to the TEC given the heat: Here's a temperature graph of inside the housing and outside. 7/14 and before, you can see inside of the housing follows the outside exactly with the interior always running about 10 to 12F higher than the exterior. This is due to the...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    FYI, the difference between the DS-2DF8236I5X and the DS-2DF8236IX is that the former is the laser IR. Same firmware for both cameras which are in the H3 series.

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    If I use dev tools in Edge and uncheck none-important, the exposure level shows up but it just snaps back to 0 when dragging it right or typing anything into the value box.

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    So yea. 180511 is a massive improvement over 200628. Their hacked version has something that really messes with auto tracking. 180511 brings it back to on par with 5.4.9. Now if I can just figure out how to get the exposure setting back. IE compatibility mode no longer works in developer mode.

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    Installing the 180511 build now. One obvious improvement in smart tracking over 5.6.0 is that the camera no longer zooms in first and then tracks. My 5.4.9 cameras all center their subjects first at the start of a track and THEN zoom in. 5.6.0 breaks this resulting in almost every track...

    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    I just applied this firmware to my DS-2DF8236I5X-AELW(not quite the same as DS-2DF8236IX-AELW) which I thought was exactly the same as boomer53a's but then realized there's an extra 5 between the 6 and X. Rebooted fine and everything seems OK but the exposure level setting is still missing...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    This is what OpenALPR does. Too expensive to be worth paying for but it works great.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Most of us? I seriously doubt that. I have 5 cameras facing my cul-de-sac from different angles and with the exception of the trackers, the LPs are clear coming and going on the left and right sides of the frame and WORST in the middle. The trackers rarely get the LP in the center of the frame...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Why does it have to choose? LP OCRing is cheap. OpenALPR runs every frame with an on prem install and picks the highest confidence match.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Still on DS for now. Would be very interested in switching to CP if I could white list license plates and only be notified of vehicles that drive in our cul-de-sac that aren't vehicles with recognized license plates....just like OpenALPR can do.

    I'm going to test with WDR and sacrifice frame rate to see if it improves license plates that are very brightly lit. Even with highlight compensation set and reducing exposure by 1.0, plates sometimes are too bright to read about 20% of the time. The Hikvision trackers I have are amazing at not...
