    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I was able to upgrade my Amcrest NVR but not my Lorex. I tried about every firmware I could find for the Lorex without success.

    Is Rekor Scout still the best option?

    Using your settings improved things quite a bit! I think I was only doing ALPR on confirmed vehicle alerts, which didn't work at night, and I didn't have my images each 50ms. I also found I was not finding plates because BI is saving the space between the second and third digit, while Rekor is...

    Is Rekor Scout still the best option?

    I’m happy to send some examples. I think though the main difference is how BI captures and sends to CO. My LPR camera supports three streams. With Rekor I have it processing the 1080 stream. Second, I think BI only processes key frames. I’m pretty sure Rekor is processing more or all of the...

    Is Rekor Scout still the best option?

    I’m paying for rekor for my one camera which point parallel to my road. I have BI+CodeProject license plate checker. It only catches a fraction of the plates the Rekor does. It’s reasonably well for cars which pull into my driveway. With three cameras, it’ll usually recognize plates from one of...

    My back yard.

    I’ve certainly thought about it. I can programmatically open my garage door, but I have a cat door and not dog door to the garage.

    My back yard.

    I have an AI model which detects deer. It then announces on the Alexa. The dog hears the Alexa and goes crazy to be let out and chase the deer.

    Amcrest Surveillance Pro 2.0 Beta (64-Bit Mac)

    Your best option is SmartPSS released 2021. There is a more recent SmartPSS lite, which is terrible.

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    I have BlueIris and Rekor ALPR running on the same camera. BlueIris doesn't do half as well as Rekor unfortunately. You may have better luck counting day plates / night plates than vehicles.

    Pooping in the playground

    I was hoping that the culprit was going to be a teenager, who could have then been gang pressed into some community service. Unfortunately, the Amcrest DVR used have doesn't record "intelligent alerts", just motion. Even if it did have AI, often at that range the person detection wouldn't...

    Pooping in the playground

    Sunday afternoon stroll through the playground. He left quite the mess - even on the wall. Quite a shock for the preschool when they found it the next week. Before and after his business 10 other cameras picked him up during his stroll, giving more than enough to identify him.

    Texting while driving hits rocks on my curb

    I came home to find the rocks by my curb had moved while I was away. Took a look at my cameras and find this person hit the rocks while speeding down the road in front of my house. The speed limit is 25 MPH, and it looks like this person is maybe going 50 MPH. The second time through is slowed...

    Buying overseas

    Does anyone have experience buying Dahua equipment overseas and taking it home in your luggage?

    Ants

    It was just the POE switch. I put the warranty replacement in and all three have been fine. I don’t know if the ants contributed to the early failure of the switch or not.

    Ants

    Probably. It’s just conduit going up the pole, but I could probably seal it as well.

    Ants

    I've taken the advise from this forum to use to kill the ants and install gardner bender. Hopefully this lasts for a while :)

    Ants

    Thanks - I live in one the states which still requires a license. But since I know about the stuff, I can ask our exterminator to apply some. I didn't realize that it could last so long. Not for Sale to: MA, MN, NY, SC CT, IN, VT - (Restricted to Licensed Applicators Only)

    Ants

    I have a Unifi Flex powering three cameras on a pole. Recently it stopped delivering PoE, so I went to investigate what. I'm not sure if the ants are related to the PoE issue, but I can't imagine they helped. The rubber teeth at the bottom don't seem to seal 100%. Any ideas for how to keep them out?

    Hi Mike, Any updates to getting the license plate model built?

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    Exactly. One benefit is not needing to run the model, saving some compute, but the larger improvement comes from feeding a cropped version to the delivery.pt model.

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    Has there been any work in applying models serially? I know we have the option in BI to run ALPR only on vehicle detections, but for the delivery model, I'd also only want it running if first there was a vehicle detection, and ideally, it would crop and only send the vehicle portion of the image...

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    I label my images on Roboflow and train on my Ubuntu PC which has a 3080. After installing ultralytics, I train using this command: `yolo task=detect mode=train model=yolov8m.pt data=../data.yaml epochs=300 imgsz=640 batch=-1

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    You need a beefy GPU to train models, but most PCs should be able to run (inference). You can also train models in the cloud. For example, you can train a model in Roboflow in just a few clicks, but you'll pay per model it trains.

    People can mask USPS AI detections

    Hi @VideoDad , Some of us are using Yolov8 models. Could you build a yolov8 version of your model? Or better yet, upload the images to Roboflow as a public project, so people can augment and train.

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    My model is trained only off images captured from my IPCam. These types of images are much different that the stock images used to train most yolo models. The model is overfit, but works well for me. I think most of yolov8's improvements are due to better training, but the yolov5 and yolov8...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.5

    Hi Mike, I've been having some success training a Yolov8 model. How do I run some yolov5 and some yolov8 models? I don't have a yolov8 license plate model. It seems if I run both modules in CPAI, it either runs both or complains about missing models on each inference.

    OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras

    Thank you. I've updated my container to the latest and it's running fine after changing my port to 8080. I'm very happy with the project! I have a few questions... 1) Others have commented it would be helpful to have the images stored separately. I would like to keep my plates database on...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports Steps I took To Get Mine Working. ZERO Programming Experience.

    I didn’t change any settings for the local web server, but I can control-click the config file link, which shows it’s working fine. The PC is windows 10, and Edge is the only installed browser. However, there is an embedded browser in the tool, and that one seems out of date. I can hit both...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports Steps I took To Get Mine Working. ZERO Programming Experience.

    Hi, I know I'm late to this thread, but trying to get the downloader to work. I have Rekor recording about 4,000 plates per week. I'm able to get the tool to start. It complains about the .NET 4.6.2, which I subsequently downloaded. The first time it starts it complains its using an out of...

    AI works in debug but doesn't log it.

    I have Rekor setup with a 1080p 10fps substream 2, and configured BI to use the same. I tried using the main stream and didn't see any different. Since my stream is 10fps, I set the realtime images to 30, which I would expect would give me 3 seconds. Initially I planned to run CPAI on the...

    AI works in debug but doesn't log it.

    I am having the same sort of issue. I currently have Rekor working flawlessly. I was hoping to move off their paid subscription, mostly so I can create actionable alerts and also keep more than five days of history. However, BI / CPAI seems to be missing most of time, though if i step through...
