Did empire stop supporting the NVR images?

This is such a neat toy, once you have it I bet you never stop tweaking things lol by the way bigredfish, I lived in west palm beach for 19 years. Moved out FL little over year ago. Here is another semi dumb question, is there a way to have it auto snap a picture every time a car tigers the...

I feel dumb. lol I enable Daylight savings and now good thanks.

yes

quick question, I set the time zone but for some reason it always goes back one hour. Could that be because of the NTP server?

I would not have been possible without your help,you have no idea how cool it feels have gotten this far. Thank you!

I am getting to the point where I need some third party software. I prefer to have something that is not cloud based or API based. I am looking for software i can purchase and install on a server. What is out there. I did tried compiling OPENLPR this morning but I hit some snags with visual...

Hello all, I want to thank Bigredfish and other that have helped me with the set up. Sorry my posts have been few. Work has been a little crazy. I think the camera is coming along, i can capture everything during day, still need work a little on the night shot. I used the information n this...

Thanks bigredfish.

Ok will do, will report once moved and I get some cars.

Thanks again Bigredfish. Current location that is approx 80 percent zoom. You would recommend moving a little closer to target area then correct? Not hard to move, camera sitting in a bucket and a 2x4 as recommended.

Ok I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that I got my first License plate, the bad news is that I think I am right at the edge on distance and I most plates look blurry as on picture one. The camera has zoom to max on to get those pictures. I think I will move the camera to a...

Adjusted the minimum size box. Adjusted cam as I was shooting a little too low. Will post pic as soon as vehicle goes by. IR light is set to zoomprio is that fine?

ok thanks let me do that. Waiting for a victim, err I mean a vehicle lol

Weird enough I had it 1/1000 but it had changed itself. Corrected now.

Is the line correct or should I simply go top to bottom on the left side of the picture? Also, record and relay out, what are they used for? Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks, Zoommed, waiting for another car to go by. Changed contrast 75. Thanks for the advise.

Ok here is my first try, tags coming in washed out. Where should I start the tweaking?

Also since I have the NVR and cameras isolated, found myself setting up an NTP server to make sure the time is always correct.

I will, I have been messing with setting the AI to know when cars go by. DO not know yet how to look for the plate, I guess take pictures when i see the car in the recording?

I started to configure AI options. Must a smart plan be selected per camera? It only allows one function per camera? Or can I setup people counting and IVS in one camera?

Great point, thank you for explaining the reasoning behind the scheduled times you chose.

I want to mention this for the benefit of others. My camera has a day night function, but if used it will not allow you to manually configure B/W on the conditions section. The day/night option will be set conditions to auto. If you want full control and configure for b/w around the clock...

Changes implemented FPS is now 30, Bit Rate Type is now CBR. BIT RATE 8192. Sub Stream, what purpose does it serve? I also changed the conditions, put the day night on schedule. Changed the Exposure to match BigRedFish configuration. I will tweak from there as needed.

Wohoo, thanks!! This gives me a ton to work with.

Ok I am starting to get the hang of the DVR. Created an FTP server to use as a go between my Vlan and the security system VLAN. I think I saw in the NVR an FTP option need to double check what that is about. OpenmALPR seems to be a cloud based solution, I might have to rig something local to...

Thanks for the info. This is why I originally wanted to have a db or something. So that I could proactively keep an eye on the traffic and maybe embed third party analytics to alert me when a car for example goes around more than usual, especially if the care is not one that has been around...

Thank you Bigredfish, I saw a video on youtube where the individual seemed to be capturing information on to the NVR itself. That confused me. To make sure I understand you correctly, out of the box there is no feature to capture plate and store the data on the NVR. If I want to do that, I...

Thanks for the informative post, it answered many of my questions.

Thanks for the link and the help!
