    LPR setup help

    As long as you are also separating out your surveillance network whether that be physically, different switches on different LAN configs, dual homed (2 Nic's) as @samplenhold is using OR through VLAN's (along with firewall rules in place of course). Just making sure you weren't setting up a LAN...

    The benefit is that you don't need to push generative AI to GPT etc, in fact I would advise against it. Run local if you need generative summaries, if you don't then thats another saving. However even things like semantic searching, recognition etc runs really well on things like OPENVINO...

    I deploy both and use AI NVR's. I will say that I am seeing some phenomenal results with Frigate especially in LPR, Face Recognition, local generative AI summaries etc that blow most current HW NVR's out of the water both in terms of features, capabilities and accuracy

    Review: EmpireTech IPC-T58IR-ZE-S3 / Dahua 5842T-ZE-S3 - 8MP / 4K Turret Camera

    Yes although Gamma can be tweaked down further. With that said, the new versions of FW incoming will have an updated set of image adjustments based on the feedback I've worked on with the Dahua dev team, therefore should be better out of the box / default

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    It IS a bug (+ a choice) when this is clearly part of the Video Metadata capture and IS supported in the FW it's just not enabled. Therefore since it's sold as having this functionality + the FW supports it, hence caps show in ANPR within the menu, it needs to be enabled. Not enabling it due to...

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    @tigerwillow1 have you tried the Experience Database ? If not then recommend you try that too if using IVS caps under AcuPick and those are seeing the incorrect caps.

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    @looney2ns Mines running pretty sweet (apart from the bugs) now but let me know which version you’re running and what mode AcuPick or Video Metadata etc. if AcuPick then I would highly recommend using the Experience Database on the cam and adding incorrect IVS caps to it as it will make a...

    Ubiquiti UniFi AI Port

    UI hasn't even released multi-cam support in EA yet so I don't expect it in release form any time soon. As I mentioned I think UI unfortunately see the AI Port as a necessary product to bring people into their Protect ecosystem BUT critically only for people to buy their cameras, not use 3rd...

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    All, as promised, I am detailing the 10 bugs I’ve found with the current 5x42 / B/t5xIR S3 cameras below. In some cases the bug is in how the camera interacts with NVR’s looking to read its capabilities and accurately interpret the metadata from the camera. In each case, I’ve listed the issue I...

    No problem. Just remember YMMV depending on your infrastructure, configuration, camera + associated FW levels across all of the above.

    Ubiquiti UniFi AI Port

    I run and test a number of Dah, Hik, Axis and other brands and have not seen issues except with the very first few beta releases of the Protect Onvif Support FW. Those issues included not being able to detect cameras (turned out to be a limitation on UI's implementation, more below on this) as...
