Hi all,
I've been reading through numerous threads over the last few months, but the continuous updates and feature changes to both CPAI and BlueIris are starting to get a little overwhelming.
I've been using BI successfully now for 6 months, and I'm starting to look into advanced features of AI - Including person detection, animal detection, LPR from a single camera and Face Detection.
My hardware is as follows (taken from the CPAI screen)
It's important to note that I do not have access to the iGPU on this machine, as it is virtualized and something else uses the iGPU. I do have performance issues, and if I can't rectify them fully (which I think may be the cause of some of my issues) I'll look to move the BI/CPAI setup to a dedicated host.
For now, I have 3 cameras. Front North, Front South and South 180.
Front North & South usually get triggered simultaneously as they both face the road. I do want this, and I want the alerts to be labelled as to what was detected, as this makes it easier when searching for street traffic and related incidents. These cameras each have 3 different Zones configured. Zone A, which is street traffic (Which I need to confirm with AI, but I don't have notifications enabled in this zone), Zone B which is the Driveway, and Zone G which is the yard. Zone B and G will give different alerts (critical or normal) as per the time of day/schedule configured (and working well, with automations with home and away configured through HomeAssistant).
I've dabbled in the custom AI models, but I also think the amount of models I am running the images through is causing bottlenecks as well, and I'm struggling to figure out how to use my alert/ai with the models, when to include the ':0' feature, and I'm yet to have much luck with plates being captured.
I don't want to load up this post with too much information, and would rather go as I change things, and find more helpful resources (that are current would be ideal!)
My first target is going to be getting my zones, AI confirmation and alerting working properly. I've attached some photos from Camera Front South, Showing AI, Motion settings, Zone settings and BI AI Settings - These should all be named accordingly.
If I can get this one alerting properly, hopefully I can do the rest myself without having to lean on the community so much.
Can anyone please look at these settings and let me know if it looks OK? I'm happy to provide anything further.
