    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    Manual / 50 - seeing the vehicles /plates isn't the issue... figuring out how to trigger them is... I think the reason the crossing didn't work is because from the back it basically only sees the taillights / plate... I just used the zone you suggested and luckily a vehicle came through, headed...

    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    Just tried these zones out on a test run... definitely does not work at night. Didn't even notice my truck (which is BIG, white, and BRIGHT lights) for 75% of the runs.

    Yes, these will normally be on continuous - and manually I can go back through and find plates no problem. This is for getting the LPR tweaked in just right.

    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    I could never get away with using that kind of zone (I've tried) - all the trees in the background with any kind of wind trigger non stop daytime motion events... that's why I'm thinking that maybe the zone crossing would work, because the leaves blowing in the normally empty background wouldn't...

    That was at 1/2000 - I'll try switching to 1/4000 and see if that helps... also thought of another idea... I could try using crossing for the object detection maybe.... something like:

    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    And this was my latest attempt - normally I only use 1 zone, but trying to force more/later triggers, I tried setting multiple zone lines up to see if that would help, which didn't.

    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    Thank you. That was actually helpful... So my next question is... why is it trying to capture the image here: Instead of here: I have tried moving my "trigger" all over the place, forward, back, etc. to no avail. My guess is that the change in lighting because of headlights is what's causing...

    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    yup, that was it... and unfortunately BAD news for me... according to this it hasn't even alerted on anything after 4:55 PM today (it's 9:30 now) - I would say we've had around 20-30 cars drive past the cams between 5 and 9 tonight... and ZERO catches... clearly I've got something configured...

    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    I don't have anything like that in my clips on the left, definitely not any zoomed in plate images... I just have the 5-20 second video clips over there. nothing when I click the alerts lightning bolt.

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    I think it is something related to YOLOv5 - I stopped it and switched back to YOLOv5.6.2 and it's bac to almost normal. I'll checkout python in the task manager if/when it does it again. Thanks

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    SOOO strange today... yesterday my CPU was at 4% and spiked a bit when video was being triggered/recorded... Today... just sitting idol, absolutely nothing being recorded, nothing being triggered... and it's sitting at 75-85% cpu... nothing has changed between yesterday and today... I am...

    CodeProject.ai with License Plate Reader module - HowTo?

    Does anyone have any idea where these images are stored? I'm trying to fine tune my trigger points and being able to see what snapshots it is looking at to analyze the image for a plate would help. My license plate reader is functioning, but is very random on whether or not it finds a plate to...

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    I haven't gone through all the optimizations yet... tonight sounds like a good night to do that though. I have plenty of processing power. I built it from scratch. I'm running: ROG Crosshair x670E Extreme MB AMD Ryzen 9 7950x 16 core proc. 128 GB of memory NVidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU 5 - 2TB...

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    Thanks. It is. It's set for 2 AM every night :) - My guess is like @fenderman - might have been a bug in a beta release

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    wow do I feel dumb right now... sometimes the simple answer is the right one.... I should have applied KISS - which I often remind my clients of. (Keep it simple stupid!) - I was clearly overthinking it... tried renaming to mp4, tried looking for a converter... NEVER tried simply double clicking...

    is there any way to view the BVR files as video? ie converting them to mp4 or something?

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    Good to know... I assumed that prompted updates would have been stable version updates and any beta would have been a manual download/install. Good to know that isn't the case for the future. Thank you. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled version 5.7.8.3 x64 (8/4/2023) - Latest stable version...

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    I already have auto-updates disabled... I've been accepting the updates as they come in, which has been a couple in the last few days... I thought about reverting back, but wasn't sure if I should try to have blueiris "repair the db" first (right now that's set to happen at 2 am) - but I figured...

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    Yes, definitely not malware. I own/run an IT business... I run scans daily - Network and system security are at the top of my list of priorities. But regardless I can't even imagine how malware would act in this nature, specifically targeting 1 thing... If anything I'd be losing files... not...

    What is going on with BlueIris?

    Ok... so I'm new to BlueIris... but something is going on that I can't explain. Two things actually... Problem 1) It will run fine for hours at around 20-30% CPU - Then out of nowhere, it will spike to 95-100% CPU - and basically lock up my PC where it remains essentially stuck until I force...

    I put the two license cams on continuous. I have them on a 10TB drive... How many days do you think I'll get out of that?
