    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Did you add the zones and get it so it triggers when the vehicles are in the middle of the frame? With 12 frames, you've only got 1.2 seconds of footage to find an image with a plate. Plus your processing time is about 5000ms (5 seconds) so it's going queue them up and take about a minute to...

    There are 3 possible versions: Plate (one plate) Memo (possibly multiple plates) AI dump (possibly multiple plates, plus additional info for each plate). The 3rd is the preferred version and is now mentioned first on the GitHub page. At this point, the comments in the readme about PLATE and...

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    I agree with Mike, rather than triggering just on motion, setup a zone on the left of the screen and the other zone for the right of the screen. Then trigger based on crossing from one to the other. Now the plate should be close to the middle of the screen (or at least fully visible) and AI...

    You seem to have an HTML encoding of ampersand &. Change that to just & and it should work. However the first version (ai_dump) is the preferred version because it gets additional information such as the position of the plate, confidence level, etc.

    Can you look at the .dat file in the viewer?

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Somewhere in the notes for the ALPR Database, it should be mentioned that having a working LPR camera (correctly zoomed and focused, and configured for day and night capture) with the correct AI settings for detecting and recognizing plates in BI is the prerequisite. I wouldn't mind like seeing...

    Could it be the extra spaces after the colon in ALERT_PATH and ALERT_CLIP?

    Did you get the latest migration.sql when doing the last update? It sounds like you are missing the most recent DB update.

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Putting anything in the To Cancel field that isn't an expected object means it will continue processing through all the frames. I was suggesting it be left blank, but maybe that's not necessary now you've lowered the frame count. The AI settings screen has the "Default object detection" turned...

    I got bitten by this too. I had two reads of the same plate in quick succession and went to remove one and it removed every read that had ever occurred. This is not very intuitive and I'm not sure why it behaves that way.

    I ran this through the standard object model. It didn't detect the pizza. ☹️

    How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

    Here are a few of my thoughts. You are using a CPU for all your detections. I'm seeing typical times in the 500ms+ range for each call, from looking at your screenshots, sometimes up towards 900ms which is close to 1 full second. You are asking for 20 frames to be tested and quicker than CPAI...

    OpenVPN home IP address

    I have my domain (and several of its subdomains) hosted on CloudFlare. Can you tell me more how you've got yours setup? I'm looking for the best way to have a subdomain set to go to my public IP at home and also get updated automatically if the ISP changes it.

    Dahua Inaccurate Time Related Issues

    Assuming your cameras don't have internet access (they shouldn't), you should have an internal source of network time (NTP server). That could be your NVR, a PC, or your router. In my case, the router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) is setup to be the source of NTP so that's what is configured in the NTP...
