People can mask USPS AI detections

Sharing something I found out about Cloning our CAMs in BI:

I have done Clones in the Past when testing but did not know this...thanks @wittaj

People can mask USPS AI detections

I implemented a custom DeepStack model to alert me when the mail is delivered because my mailbox is down the street from my home. I'm using a camera mounted near the street that also detects people and vehicles (including ALPR). The post truck detection works but will fail if the event is...

Be sure to check Clone Master on any (Original) CAMs you are cloning FROM...leave the Clones unchecked...

Also you see the Clone is not showing any Bitrate for those concerned:

I have had up to three Clones running and did not see much in an increase of my CPU. Now with this Clone master setting I assume even less...
 
Got One :) UPS, but missed USPS

The USPS truck came into frame first from right (East) to left, then the UPS left (West) to right:

it looks like the two events were separated by less than a second. It saw the 'usps' logo first which seems to have masked the 'ups' event. I'm not sure how to ensure you get both objects reported simultaneously in the same event if they are separate, but in the same 10 second period. This would be the same case with any model (say a motorcycle followed quickly by a bus).

Makes Sense. It was two Competitors passing each other :) Hey I am happy I got delivery model working. I used your posted settings...Thanks...
 
So is this common (Both the same CAM):

UPDATE:
Found what was causing it on CloneCAM, guess I unchecked it by mistake:

Loving this AI, thank you guys.
One thing I saw today, it got the Amazon truck but a few minutes later when it returned AI labeled the Amazon truck as UPS

I am still running 2.0.8-Beta, could that be the problem?
 
So I am assuming our Waste Management truck can't be added, but maybe their WM Logo?

I'd like to start using this. Is there an install guide or somewhere to start to get this going? Using CP 2.0.8b right now.

Are you running YOLOv5 6.2 or YOLOv5 .NET?

YOLOv5 .NET I recently added the ipcam-combined custom model to .NET to get the animal triggers.
My GPU did not meet the minimum compute score and I was getting errors on 6.2 so I moved to 5 .NET and the errors went away and I've stayed there.
Thanks!

It is easy to setup.

I Cloned the camera that would capture the Delivery trucks:

You can change the settings to your liking. I Auto-flag the alerts, presently testing, also Burn label on the flagged alert images, it is up to you.

Be sure to check Clone master on the camera you cloned from. (FrontCAM_24/7 (FRONT) is my from camera):
1683979933575.png

You will see in the Blue Iris Logs that you have no Bitrate on the Clone:

If you are running YOLOv5 .NET you need to copy delivery.onnx to the following directory then Stop and reStart AI in Blue Iris Settings/AI:

If you are running YOLOv5 6.2 you need to copy delivery.pt to the following directory then Stop and reStart AI in Blue Iris Settings/AI:

When using custom models uncheck Default object detection:

To make sure delivery is installed/running click on the three dots for Use custom models:

This is what I get in my Alerts window:

Excellent! Cloning the camera is as simple as creating a duplicate camera, naming it Front Clone, and choosing clone master. I had been looking for a clone function. It's setup now, just need to wait for a delivery truck.
Thank you for taking the time to detail the steps, big help! AI has been a game changer over BI4 with no AI.

Agree...I am addicted to AI, haha or maybe it is addicted to me ;)

Glad I could help...

The one issue I am having is my clone of the original camera is showing a bitrate. The original camera is marked as clone master. The clone was created by creating a new camera with the same IP as the original.

So I remember having this issue when I added a second Clone but can't remember how I fixed it. Did you reboot Blue Iris?

Here are my settings:

Everything else is the same other than Continuous Recording on the 24/7 Cam and Triggered on the Clone
