    Replacing Water Heater Tank in Attic

    So if you get a water heater that has a 6 year warranty versus a twelve year one, the difference is the 12 has two sacrificial anodes. If you turn off the tank and replace it every 5 years, there is no reason that tank won't last 25 years. The electronic anodes might even be better, but not...

    Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR

    Updated on my Linux host. Thanks for your efforts. Seems to be working @ about the same rate with a CPU.

    Upgrading my machine - P cores and E cores?

    Look at Mr. Moneybags over here with his 9 year old computer... I am using a Xeon E3 that was released in 2011. 13 years ago. I got the one that is quicksync compatible. Allows you to use ECC memory. I have another E3 running ESXi that has an up time of over 1000 days now... Coming up on 3...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    It is was $40 for unlimited cameras I would consider it. The $10 per camera is ridiculous...

    Missing zone crossing...

    Just to follow up-- with the simple change of masking out the time (and widening up the zones), I have been batting 1000. In reviewing the footage-- it looks like when an object came into view- the object detection was occasionally highlighting the time as an object and sometimes focusing on...

    Missing zone crossing...

    It is dark out-- but I have been running with this for a few days. I actually would just like to setup the whole zone to just trigger-- and use another method to determine direction. I'd love it if the AI could do it as opposed to missing a trigger... Do you know why my capture seemed to be...

    Missing zone crossing...

    I did have much more luck with fewer zones. The issue is I am trying to determine direction using C>B and B<C. I did make my zones much fatter. One thing I also notices is you are zeroing out your clock whereas I did not. I watched the motion blocks on an approach and noticed it...

    Missing zone crossing...

    I have a couple of zones on my LPR set up so when a car or plate passes, I get the alert as well as the direction (B-C, C-B etc...).. This works pretty well. I have an issue occasionally where the trigger happens late. Put in a feature request to have AI test images PRIOR to trigger as well...

    Blue boxes with yellow outline in AI window.

    Can someone tell me that these two blue dots with yellow outlines mean in the AI window? I am not getting an MQTT message here on this alert, but it seems to be reading the plate. When I get a green check mark-- (second picture) I get the message....

    COONCAM

    Man, you have the world's most useless cat. It just watched that raccoon stroll into your house.... If you catch in the cage, just submerge the cage in a river or tub.

    I have a mess to clean up

    In Massachsetts the environmental police would make you keep it there since it is "natural".... I have something similar near me. How do you saw underwater?

    Improved triggering and detection....

    So not sure if I should post this in ALPR or AI. Figured here would be better. I am detecting cars passing and reading their plates. I am also using zones to determine direction. I have Zone A cover the whole area for detection. I was using zones B and C split down the middle. I'd trigger...
