    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    Yeah, this is my motivation for following this thread, too. Server OS are designed to be up and running 24/7/365. They aren't configured to spontaneously reboot, add useless features, go to sleep, try to save you money by enforcing energy saving features without you asking, download Clippy, etc...

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    Nope! I used Rufus to make a USB installer stick that skips the TPM and CPU model checks. I updated the TPM to 2.0 on 4 of the boxes anyway, because I found the tool to do so, but I'm not sure it matters. The Windows installer does throw up a warning just before the last Install button...

    Where would I mask it out? I still want it to be recorded to disk (it's burned in at the camera), but I don't want it analyzed by the LPR module. Thanks!

    "PM" is a very popular plate in my database! But only in the afternoon.

    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    I dug into this a bit a few weeks ago when working on boxes that I'd bought used with Win10, and upgrading some of them to Win11. On some boxes, this PowerShell admin command will work, wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey, and on others this one, (Get-WmiObject -query...

    Does CPAI do anything if not specifically configured on a camera?

    I'm having a weird experience with CPAI. In all my previous history I'd been just triggering on motion detection, and my Alerts had been "When this camera is triggered," on all my cameras. I had attempted fiddling with CPAI on my Home BI box perhaps a year ago, or perhaps it was DeepStack...

    Is that what this checkbox does? so we can leave the sub stream enabled for N-up and previews, etc., but pass the main stream to AI for processing?

    POE over Powerline adapters! Will they suck? Let's find out.

    As it turns out, that outlet was switched. :facepalm: So every time my parents turned off the exterior lights, the cameras went off. It took awhile for my local sparky to be free for a small job, but last week he found a hot line up near that roofline, punched through, and installed me an...

    Please don't apologize for making free software!!!!! This is a great project. My neighborhood just got Flocked, and I'm very curious to see how well their very expensive system stacks up to yours.

    I have a plate!!!!! Nuking the database and starting over was the last required fix. Thanks to everyone for all the help! I certainly would not have figured it out on my own. For anyone new to the thread, about 1/4 of my problems were due to following an out-of-date ReadMe.MD that had an...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I nuked the site from orbit (it's the only way to be sure), and started over. I'm pretty sure the incorrectly-created database was a problem, because as soon as the database engine was running, the dashboard looked like this: instead of how it looked previously: when it was trying to read...

    Where does this live? I searched my C: drive and my V: drive, and I haven't found this. Does it live inside Docker's virtual infrastructure somehow? I'm still not getting records into my database, nor images into /images or /thumbnails, despite seeing traffic in the containers, so I think I...

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    Unfortunately I couldn't replace their SATA boot SSD with an m.2, as I did on my ex's box and my personal box, because the m.2 slot on my parents' motherboard looks like this: The m.2 screw at the other end was also unremovable, and stripped, so I'm guessing the refurbisher decided to use...

    Is my WD purple 6tb HD in trouble?

    I moved that HDD to a new SATA connector on the motherboard, with a different SATA cable, and it's been running properly for the last 24+ hours: The /New folder now correctly has a smaller number of 4 GB files that appear every few hours instead of tons of smaller files that appear every few...

    Ah, I was reading off the copy embedded in the ReadMe.MD file, which is out of sync, and probably has other changes as well. Downloading the current version . . .

    Here's my one positive contribution to this thread. Future users may want to add restart: unless-stopped between image and environment to the db section of their docker-compose.yml, e.g.: db: image: postgres:13 restart: unless-stopped environment: Otherwise the postgres database...

    Yes, but I'm an idiot. :facepalm: My schema.sql file was the HTML of this page, not the actual schema.sql file. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: I replaced that with the actual schema.sql file, and redid the down/pull/up sequence. But curiously, if I look at the new container's...

    Replace POE Cable Assembly on IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2?

    Ah, that reminds of what I did 18 months ago. I can't believe I forgot. Instead of putting on a female connector, I crimped on an RJ45 plug and used a waterproof coupler. I hope I don't have to do that again.

    I tore down the containers, re-pulled, and re-composed them, and I'm still not seeing anything on my ALPR Dashboard nor in /storage/. I took a peek at the Docker Container Details, and I see some errors: alpr-db-1 has a lot of errors like 2025-01-31 21:47:52.072 GMT [175] ERROR: relation...

    Ah, on my machine it's ctrl-double-left-click, but that may be because I'm RDPing in from a Mac. That took a long time to figure out! But now I have AI details: That's my car! That's my plate! 98%!! But my ALPR dashboard is still showing 0 records, and its /storage/ directory is empty. I must...

    Replace POE Cable Assembly on IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2?

    I done fumbled. I had deployed an IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2 AndyCam for LPR purposes, on my office neighbor's balcony, but this was a "temporary" installation, to be fixed RSN. I had the POE cable going into the camera's POE jack without the cable gland, and it was sitting on the balcony floor. Then it...

    User error. :facepalm: I wasn't recording JPEGs. I am now: For some reason I'd thought that, since it was examining the video feed, that it would use that for the analysis. Now that I've checked the JPEGs box, I'm getting plates. There are two cars parked in the FOV of one of my LPR cameras...
