People can mask USPS AI detections

[gwminor48]

Typically a cloned camera has a specific purpose that uses a single model. For example, my driveway camera is setup to detect people, cats and dogs using the ipcam-combined model 24 hrs a day. I have also cloned the camera to use the USPS model that captures the mailman's vehicle, but only between sunrise & sunset and only if the vehicle is traveling from west to east. This triggers my home automation system to let me know the mail has arrived. A second clone of the same camera is setup to count the number of vehicles that drive by my house using ipcam-general model. I knew there was a lot of traffic on my street, but I had know idea how bad it was until I started counting the cars.

I would be curious at the number of cars on my street too. Is this a part of the ipcam-general model? Only on CPAI or Deepstack too?

Yes and no. Everytime a car passes my house AI triggers a virtual switch in Hubitat. The virtual switch is connected to Home Assistant which counts the number of on/off instances and stores that number in its database. From there I use Grafana to graph the data. It sounds complicated, but it's really not.

I thought I'd try something similar.

I setup vehicle counting on my street cam using ipcam-general model. This is working well.
I then set up pushing data to HomeSeer via MQTT which is working well.
I set up an sqlite database on the HomeSeer box and have Date and AI memo for each vehicle passing. This is working well.
I then tried to set up grafana. It wouldnt configure right in Docker on synology so I added it on the HomeSeer box running windows. Finally got that working. Now I have to learn how to create dashboards on Grafana. Would like to have a similar page as yours. Any help appreciated.

Any help appreciated.

Here's the json code for my car counter dashboard. You can import this into grafana and change the data source and queries to match your database. Let me know if you have any questions.

Getting closer. I was not smart enough to use my existing database to create the chart, so I redid it with time columns of each hour. I have HomeSeer increment the count for each vehicle passing.

I still need to add daily, weekly and monthly totals. Haven't figured out how to add multiple panels on one dashboard yet.

Haven't figured out how to add multiple panels on one dashboard yet.

Just click on add and select visualization.



For the visualization use Stat and configure the range for daily, weekly or monthly.



Another option would be to copy the chart you have already created and then change the visualization from bar chart to stat. You can then set the range for whatever you want.

Thanks for the pointers. I've got it set up the way I like it.

Learning curve on how to implement sqlite queries to get what I wanted.

Had to use curl to create the png image of the grafana panel to place into HomeSeer.
