    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    I still use AITool as there is a lot more granular control over things like percentage size of detected object, percentage of confidence per object (in the newer versions). I have cameras up on second story due to the way the place is laid out and AITools can be set to pick up objects that the...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    Unfortunately the YouTuber in question looking more at still images and how simple a system is to setup rather than the thing that really matters, which is motion images. All the good reviews about Reolink focus in still images at a distance and never do look at the motion. I guess the...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I guess iFrame is something that a lot of cameras offer as a setting in firmware, where as Reolink is locked at 0.5 for main stream and 0.25 on sub stream and not adjustable (that is what support officially says). F-Stop and Focal length tend to be settings that are not adjustable in firmware...

    Reolink?

    I know this is an older thread, and who knows if anyone will read to the end to see this anyway, but I want to put my experience with REOLINK in here and why I agree with all the negative reviews of REOLINK. I have used 3 REOLINK cameras. 2 RLC-520, 5MP and a RLC-822A 8MP (3x optical zoom)...

    That looks how it should for Object Detection, which is the API BI is using currently :)

    Looks like you are almost there. That error indicates something is wrong with the --port flag.

    It should be C:\DeepStack\deepstack.exe --VISION-DETECTION=True --PORT 83 assuming default install path on windows Need the = sign in there. Note: IF you start DeepStack in BI then try to run DeepStack with no options, it runs a second version of DeepStack with no API enabled, it doesn't show...

    This doesn't sound right. When checking the CLI you should at least have the Detection URL come up as well, which is /v1/vision/detection. Are you using Blue Iris to start DeepStack or are you running it separately? If you run separate from BI you need to use the option...

    Try the CPU version. It doesnt really use too many extra cycles. The GPU version, particularly for Windows, can be a little hit and miss. If you have a spare PC, could try running DeepStack on another computer, maybe in a Linux VM under virtualbox or something similar. The DeepStack Docker...

    I am doing that at the moment, though to be honest, other than putting icons on the Alert image for car or person or whatever, AI Tools has never missed one that BI has caught on it's own. I do like that it is integrated in BI and it likely catches 70% of events at this stage. I think it will...

    Blue Iris's implementation of the AI only takes the first image to process, though you can set that to take up to the first 5 images, at 1 second apart. If motion triggers the camera, but Deepstack does not recognise an object in that first 1 to 5 seconds (depending how you have it set) then it...

    I have read the "crash" threads. Most of them are more Windows crashing because they are not dedicating the machine to BI and using other crap software. BI is rock solid. Seems a few people like to blame BI for crashing when it is either their crappy, second hand hardware or they run other...

    Dont use the Start Deepstack option in BI. This is really only designed for a local copy of DeepStack. If you have it running on a remote machine, just have docker or whatever start it on boot, and just point BI to the IP address and port. The start option is only to start the DeepStack...

    You can remove the items from the BI list to make restrict what you detect. You have to remember DeepStack is not dedicated to Blue Iris. It is a now Open Source AI that is used in many applications, not just CCTV. It really doesn't use many CPU cycles doing detection. There is even a...

    Doesn't surprise me. Some download pages link to an ancient windows version and some to the current one, all on the deepstack site..... Glad to see this is not an issue now. I don't use an NVIDIA GPU so only use the CPU version of DeepStack and I have found it is not too bad at night. The...

    Lets not turn this into another Reolink thread. Heaps of them already around. Sorry I brought it up.... We all know Reolink are not that best cameras :). I was just reading that Deepstack is oriented for daylight. This is from the Deepstack FAQ. DeepStack misses objects a lot in night/dark...

    The ghosting issues are very real once you move to IR illuminated images or even just using black and white. I have analysed some of the images and believe the ghosting comes down primarily to a very low iFrame rate as you can see parts of the image update, but others do not. Poor sensor...

    Unfortunately object detection on any system is pretty hit and miss on black and white images lit by infa-red. Even some on camera person detection fails badly in that situation. I think the only way around it is to use scheduled profiles to use standard motion detection at night and AI during...

    When it is just Object (person or otherwise) detection, it doesn't need to be high res. Even Sentry uses the substream. It would take a long time to process if you sent a high res jpeg to the AI, which would make it useless for triggering motion. Facial recognition may need higher resolution...

    UI3 is the web interface for Blue Iris. Open your web browser and go to http://yourblueirisip:BIport/ As long as you have the option to use UI3 ticked in Blue Iris Settings / Web Server, you will be presented with the UI3 interface. You can port forward, if you know what you are doing, to...

    In both the Deepstack Docker and the Windows version of Deepstack, I have manually started up both with MODE=High option. I do not use AI Tools to autostart Deepstack, I have that starting separately outside of AI Tools to give a fair comparison. Edit: Same with BI. I don't have BI starting...

    Increasing sensitivity of motion will not help DeepStack detection if it gets the object wrong. You could try running DeepStack in HIGH mode instead of Medium mode. It uses a little (not much) more CPU and is a touch slower processing, but is more accurate with its detection. If links are...

    I tried this. I actually ran two identical cameras in the exact same location, same trigger settings (using Blue Iris motion trigger, not using ONVIF triggers) and found that BI Deepstack would miss somethings AI Tool Deepstack would trigger on, relevant things that is. It doesn't miss...

    I am a little bit of a newbie with Blue Iris, but I had been running the AI Tool with duplicate low res camera option previously. I am finding that moving to the BI Integrated DeepStack seems to miss a lot that AI Tool picks up. Does anyone have any (at least ball park) settings that...

    IPC-HDW1431T1 information and comparison if possible

    Wouldn't mind knowing more about this camera myself. From what I have read, it is suggested to avoid the cheap end cameras even from a brand name. It has to be better than Reolink though??

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I think that is the key. On their low end cameras. Let's be honest, Reolink's price point is aimed at low end. A 4K camera at under $100 US is definitely not high end :) Maybe that is where I look at them. I look at them as "cheap" cameras and don't expect high end performance at that price...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    You make a good point there. The lack of configuration options is more the issue with Reolink than the quality of the camera's themself. If we could have more granular configuration options, they could likely be configured to be amazing. So it really comes down to firmware......... My...

    Agree Robs video is not the best, just making the point his is not the only one, maybe not fair to single his channel out, if these issues are as bad as this people here think. I have had occasional issues with ghosting on RLC-520's but it is occasional, not regular and I have had that issue on...

    Would be good to see a low light motion comparison. To be honest, this is the only forum I have seen such huge negativity toward Reolink. Rob (The HookUp) is not the only YouTube video that praises the Reolink cameras. To be honest I would say 95% of reviews I have seen, both on YouTube and...
