    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    Thanks for taking the time to respond! It is much appreciated. I zoomed in a bit on the camera (not quite a much as you have - this camera is also for security not just LPR so we want to get the cars coming and going). I set Deepstack to high earlier this morning, just to be sure, I just...

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    I've got it grabbing some license plates, but not all of them. Here's one that it found and it copied the cropped file to the C:\.......\www\ALPR\ALPR.jpg, but I can't find a logfile.txt or json file anywhere. Also for this one, does 50% confidence seem right or do I need to tweak some...

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    Hey Mike Any chance you can post screenshots of the record settings on both of your cameras (the physical LPR and the virtual ALPR)? I am still getting "Deepstack: Alert cancelled [nothing found]" in the logs. Attached is a pic of the alert folder. Also, is there any way to change where it...

    Looking for a way to pull a data value from json to overlay on camera feed

    I don't blame you and it's not worth it. Besides the time and effort, why take a chance on breaking something that works so well. And if someone can't grasp that 17:30 is 5:30pm, then they probably shouldn't be boating and worrying about the tide and temperature (which is what this is used for...

    Please check out my network Diagram for this installation. I'd like feedback and opinions. Dahua IP system 3 cameras with Ubiquiti Nanobeams

    I have a setup similar to yours, with a few key differences, and it seems to be very stable. I always had problems whenever I plugged anything directly into my Dahua NVR so I connect everything via an external PoE switch that the NVR uplink is also connected to (you need to use the NVR as a...

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    I had "Burn label markup" checked, is that how it should be? I'm not sure if I have an Nvidia GPU or not and I'm not able to check at the moment. Thanks for your help!

    Looking for a way to pull a data value from json to overlay on camera feed

    This is AWESOME!!!! I'm a computer network consultant and I know absolutely zero about programming. I was trying my best to put together something using PowerShell or a VBScript to pull data down from a nooa.gov weather site and create a BI overlay. I was getting nowhere and about to give up...

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    I am loving this thread. Thanks Mike. I spent about an hour or so yesterday and it never worked, but I believe the issue is on my configuration. The snapshots that are going into the alert folders are "off time" (a car triggers it, but the jpg that gets saved is eitehr before or after the...

    Site other than WeatherUnderground?

    Worked like a charm! Thanks again!

    Site other than WeatherUnderground?

    Thank you! I assumed the station ID had to be a pull down slection and not freeform typing. I'll give it a shot

    Site other than WeatherUnderground?

    Thanks Mike When I installed it, it said I had to put either a location in (the only way to get a location was to install the API) or put "none". When I put none and tried to update it said "skipping weather" (or something to that effect - I'm not in front of the screen at the moment). I'll...

    Site other than WeatherUnderground?

    Is there any way to tie this app into a site other than weatherunderground? Something like visualcrossing (or any other site) via an API? WU will not give out free APIs without a personal weather station, which I don't have.

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    Don't worry about looking into it. When I try, I will use an admin account and then work my way down from there after it's working. You're doing enough without worrying about little things like this

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    I plan to. Quick question - we need to input the username/pw of BI in the .ini file. What rights does this userid need (admin, read only, only able to view the camera used for LPR, etc)? Thanks again! looking forward to trying this!

    Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

    This is freaking cool! I haven't tried it yet (I may have some time this weekend to play around with it), but it looks perfect. I was having many issue swith the ALPR built into BI but I'm looking forward to trying this.

    Blue Iris hanging

    Thanks I changed it last night and just checked. CPU is actually down a percent or 2 and memory is just slightly up. Neither is enough to worry about, but this is just a snapshot in time and nothing is going on at the location (very little motion). I'm going to keep monitoring it to see what...

    Blue Iris hanging

    I was hesitant to do that to ensure that CPU usage stays down. I just disabled it and I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the reply

    Blue Iris hanging

    Hi all I have a quick question to see if anyone can help me figure out what is going on. I have BI running on a dedicated PC (specs listed below) and about once a week the app hangs. When it happens, the PC is extremely sluggish even tho the CPU and memory aren't spiked (roughly 30% CPU usage...

    Blue Iris and nvr at same time

    It works fine for me. All IP cameras, a Dahua NVR, and Blue Iris. I have it set up this way for redundancy (recording to multple locations in case either BI or NVR go down). The thing I would caution against is using the IP ports that may be on the NVR. They will use a different network than...

    Sub folders for storage

    Will do - It's not a huge issue (more of a like to have vs a need). We have occassional requests from the local law enforcement for our camaras pointed toward the road. Currently, if they are not still on our local PC we need to download them from the cloud, rebuild the BI db so it knows the...

    Sub folders for storage

    Thanks for the reply Actuall, the BI Help file is where I got the syntax to automatcially create sub-folders Here's the text that I'm using It’s recommended that you retain the default filename format. It is possible to override this however to add a subfolder for the camera and/or month and...

    Worth the update!

    I ordered the upgrade online (the link from inside the software). Any idea on how long it takes to send the upgrade key? It's been about 2 hours now. The email with the PO said it was being sent at the same time but I never received it - even went to the order and clicked resend.

    Worth the update!

    That sounds awesome! I'll have to look into DeepStack a bit. I was recording only motion, but want to switch to 24x7 recording and this sounds perfect. Definately worth the ~$50 upgrade price

    Sub folders for storage

    A question about using subfolders for storage. I currently have all of my cameras set to record to subfolders under the the /BlueIris/New/ folder (based on cam name and then another subfolder with the date). This is done using &CAM\&CAM.%Y_%m_%d\&CAM.%Y%m%d_%H%M%S in the record tab on the...

    Edit login page?

    The initial logon page when I connect to the server from an external device, so yes UI3. In the instructions I found where to put logos etc on the cameras when viewing them and other areas after connected. I'm thinking editing the initial logon screen when I connect to the web url. Again -...

    Edit login page?

    Is it possible to edit the login page on BI? Maybe add a logo, disclaimer, etc? Not a big deal - just curious
