    Dukes Of Hazzard

    I caught this guy, blasting through a 4-way stop. He catches quite a bit of air, I did not know Honda Civic was built for this type of driving. I have a camera (or two) pointed at the intersection, I live 3 houses away from the intersection. I put it there to catch accidents, assholes...

    Does this look like a 'random' house egging to you?

    The neighbor's house got egged. He thinks it was random, does this look like a random act to you?

    Birdhouse Camera? Which Model?

    I am building a very large 'birdhouse' to house a very large ALPR camera. I already mounted a 10' post, run the networking cables and now need to start building the birdhouse. While I'm at it, I thought I would actually put a real birdhouse in the enclosure that is actually to hide the camera...

    Hit & Run

    This person was leaving a known drug house, probably was drunk or high (or both). The owner of the car reached out to me today and asked if I would have footage from last month, yep, still got it. I also have ALPR setup on that street so was able to provide license plate information as well.

    IPC-LPR437B-IR / IPC-LPR237B-IR @ Night

    I have both of these cameras, purchased from @EMPIRETECANDY. I am getting good results during the day, plates are captured no issues. At night, I basically get nothing. Today I took some 'snaps' in the GUI as cars are going past. I assumed that they were blurry or there was some issue and...

    Dahua - Triggering an external light

    I have very little experience with Dahua and have never used any of the external connectors or alarms. I am setting up a ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B, I would ideally like it to trigger my external IR light to come on when it turns it's own IR lights on. The IR light I am using is Axton AT-3M-S...

    What doorbell camera in 2022?

    When you gotta go... you gotta go.

    With the drug dealers forced out of the apartment complex across the street, not much activity recently.

    250 ft - am I nuts?

    I have been playing with plate recognition for a couple of years, love it. I'm buying a new house and plan to put up camera for reading plates at a distance of 100 - 125ft. The longer the distance, the less angle which is the reason I go out that far. The cameras are mounted on the house...

    Why winter sucks for LPR.

    I know not everyone has this problem, some have no idea what snow even is. My ability to capture plates in Winter drops a LOT. I would say by at least 50% at night, possibly more. The main issue in Winter is the muck and slop from snow on vehicles. I captured this shot, not from my LPR...

    Burn It To The Ground

    Not my capture, but thought I would share. Good luck explaining that to the insurance adjuster, as the adjuster is watching the video.

    I finally caught a killer with my LPR, sorta.

    I have cameras setup in a rough area of town (have posted videos in the past of car bombs, beatings, police crashing cars etc.). In 2018 there was a drive by shooting up the street. I started playing with LPR at that time with my existing cameras. It was so fun, I added two cameras just for...

    Hikvision direct camera access using Virtual Host

    I have HIKVision virtual host enabled on my DVR. I know I can access cameras at some private address and port, something like this: http://192.168.1.9:65002 That will give me access direct to the camera GUI, I can also stream video from there. I believe the video streaming uses some type of...

    Drug Dealer Takedown - 19 Arrests

    Finally after 4 years of the police letting the drug dealers operate out of this building, they finally took them down. There were a total of 19 people taken into custody over 4 buildings. I have a camera that watches 2 of the drug houses, upper and lower levels in this apartment building. So...

    NVIDIA Jetson Nano

    My electric bill is out of control. Between my NVR, 17 cameras & several computers I have running 24/7 they collectively consume $60 a month in power! Not much I can do about the cameras (cuz I love them), but I am wondering about my LPR setup. I am using an old i7 computer with an NVIDIA...

    Thief tries to break into shed, gets arrested QUICK.

    Spotted this guy up to no good, cops were called and responded very fast. There are thieves in the yard several times a week, nice to see one taken town. For those who are into cameras (everyone on this forum?!?) the color camera is a Hikvision ColorVu - it certainly performs nice here.

    The Police Chase Video That Never Happened

    Today I caught a police chase. The guy runs down the block (no shoes) with a police office chasing on foot. The bad guy trips trying to go up some stairs, that is the end of the chase - they put the metal bracelets on him. Thought it would be fun to edit together footage from three cameras...

    He never sees it coming, guy gets beat down with a club (NOW WITH ARREST FOOTAGE)

    I do not have all the backstory on this, but the cops called me to see if my cameras caught a reported attack with a bat. Sure enough, the cameras caught it. The guy with the bat is clearly trying to hide his face as best he can. He never looks up, wearing that hoodie. Like really, who...

    Hikvision - Cloud Storage Function?

    I am using a DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P. It has an option for Cloud Storage, says it can save still images to a remove server using Cloud2.0 protocol. Anyone know how to setup a server that supports Cloud2.0 ?? I did some Google searches and some different NVR models offer storage to Google, Dropbox...

    Creating a Real-Time License Plate Detection and Recognition App

    I was doing some Gooooogling for ALPR stuff and I came across a developer blog post from NVIDIA. It is out of my realm of development experience, but thought I would share the link here in case anyone else has the skills/interest to develop something. Creating a Real-Time License Plate...

    How hard does your GPU work?

    I have OpenALPR (now Rekor Scout) running under Windows 10. My CPU is an older Intel i7-3555LE @ 2.50GHz, it has 2 cores & two threads. I have a GTX 1060 GPU. I am processing 2 cameras, have tried different resolutions. The CPU is always stressed, like 80% + 100% The GPU is essentially...

    No alert if more than 1 object found

    I am new to Blue Iris, hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I have setup a couple cameras, on one I have it watching for people & bikes. If a person or bike found, I am using the alert feature to send the data via a Web Request or MQTT. It works, but ONLY is only one is found...

    'Flash' saves building from burning down

    Never a dull moment around here. Apartment across the street almost went up on flames today. It seems the apartment was saved by 'Flash'. Note, I cut out a bit of the footage as it is quite slow to watch.

    Stolen Bike Fight

    This event happened a while back, but I do not think I shared it. There was a drug dealer living next door, he eventually got evicted for not paying his rent. The owners tossed all his crap out into the yard and changed the locks (he broke back in anyway). The owners hired a couple guys to...
