I just switched to CP this week. Was reluctant to make the change because of difficulties reported here by others, and because DeepStack was satisfying my needs. I was only using DS on a couple of cameras at different times, but was pleased with how it was working. But DS processing times were in the 450 ms range, and would peg the CPU on my 2nd gen i7 that was running 9 cams, so I knew further expansion needed different hardware. A neighborhood incident 3 weeks ago prompted the need to expand my system’s capabilities.
I switched to CP as part of my “new” BI build, on a 7th gen i7. My plan was to get that box up and running in parallel with the original machine, then simply shut off the old one and leave it on the shelf as a backup that could simply be plugged back in and restarted if the new box crashed. About 2 days after starting the test period, I felt confident enough to switch off the machine that has been my BI box for the past 2 years. With CP and the “new” CPU, I’m seeing AI detection times in the 150 ms range, and am using the AI on a couple more cameras.
