How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession?

Just venting, still frustrated. I can catch hundreds of plates all day long but two cars together usually yields no recognition for both. I've posted my "Found DayPlate" and "Found Plate: XXXXXX" ms times earlier in this post. Do you think my CPU and lack of GPU is solely responsible for this type of quick analysis? Does two or three moving cars in the frame simply overwhelm my setup? When I watch the analysis of multiple cars going by in the CodeProject status window, I feel it's just saying "I give up, try something easier Dude". :idk: Thanks
 
Do you have another computer on the network that is as fast as your NUC? If so, you can try running CPAI on that instead of your BI machine. This will reduce the CPU load and avoid BI and CPAI competing for the same resource.

Yes, I have a couple of older computers gathering dust. i7 something or others. I'll give it a go and report back. Thanks
 
So I cleaned up an old rig, forced it to take a fresh install of Windows 11, and with great difficulty loaded CodeProject AI. It seems that an updated .NET version is required to be installed before CodeProject AI would function without generating errors all over the place on my Windows Version 24H2 new install. With that having been done, I ran Blue Iris, CodeProject AI, and ALPR Database for about a day. In the end, with two computers sharing the plate recognition process, I did notice a slight increase in speed overall, but I could never justify running this additional computer full time for such a small gain. Also, I'll mention the old computer had an ancient AMD graphics card which obviously didn't contribute much of anything.

So at this time, I'd like to ask the group for some advice on how to put together a machine that can get my frame processing times down in the sub 100ms range. As in what type/speed CPU and a capable (I'm hoping less than $250 GPU) so that in the end I may be able to realize what the name of this thread is all about- How to capture multiple plate reads in quick succession? Thanks
 
My i7-8th gen gets multiple plates in quick succession without a graphics card, but my processing times are sub 200ms, which is fine for my use case.

Well, then I'm definitely doing something very wrong (with my Intel Core i9-12900HK 14 Cores/20 Threads,up to 5.0GHz 32GB RAM 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD computer). Back to the drawing board tomorrow...
 
But yours is a NUC with external drives?

People here don't recommend NUCs because they aren't designed for 24/7 operation of non buffering data that surveillance cameras demand, and they typically are designed to throttle performance in favor of lower Temps and energy efficiency.

Doesn't mean people don't use NUCs and maybe they don't have a problem or maybe they do and haven't realized it, but it would be interesting to see if it would make a change.

Both C and D drives internal. All cores unparked.
