[tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

@Netscan you didnt give much info about your configuration. How is BI setup, what is your trigger/cancel url set to? What are the log entries? Are you on the latest version of BlueIris? Flagalert=0 has only been in recent versions.

I believe this is the correct cancel URL:

I dont believe the '?trigger" should be in the cancel URL

Can anyone else verify cancel alerts are working the the 2.0 release, and what the correct URL is?

OK, i did have trigger in the cancel URL, i've taken it out and it seems to have fixed it, thanks! Weird how it was working in the other version, huh?
 
Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having? With the latest VorlonCd release 2.0 and one I compiled myself a couple of weeks ago, I seem to have lost the caption on Telegram messages. I don't think I've changed any settings related to this but I'm attaching an example screen capture of one of the cameras setting page. Even if I replace the Caption setting with simple text nothing is displayed in Telegram except the picture. I've already tried completely removing and reinstalling the tool. Although I expected to have to add all the cameras back in they were restored from the registry. There's nothing I can see in the log file either.

Have you tried installing the latest version released yesterday. This is a fast moving project and is better supported when you are running the latest and greatest revision.
 
I have a QNAP storage array. I'd like to install Deepstack on the QNAP using the Container Station application on the QNAP. I don't have any experience with that app yet but what kind of virtual OS should I create for Deepstack?
 
Yes, QNAP supports Docker. Should I install Ubuntu as my Linux OS and then follow those instructions?

Hi, Never use QNAP, but I have Unraid that supports dockers. You don't install another OS, you just need the docker. You will need the docker repository listed on deepstack forum. I use: deepquestai/deepstack:latest You will need to make sure VISION-DETECTION: is equal to True and if you plan to do face detection you will need FACE-DETECTION: is equal to True. I set Mode to High for better accuracy and process images around 300ms on avg. Hope this helps.

I now have it installed and running on the QNAP. What's next? How do I access the container to make those config changes. Sorry, never used Docker and just winging it right now! :) When I click the URL it takes me to the Deepstack page and I don't see where to change settings. See attachments.

Again, not sure how QNAP works, but what does settings do if you click it? Do you have a place to add variables? Something like the startup string or individual variables?

I found this:


Look for this section and then read below? They talk about adding environment variables . The vision / face / mode are all environment variables. Each variable will have a name and a value. For example:

Here you will be given multiple sections you can set up. For this container we will be using Environments / Network / Shared Folders. Under the "Environments" section, fill it in as I have but adjust your PUID/PGID accordingly. Please note - the variables PUID/PGID reference the UID/GID values you acquired earlier.

I'm not having any luck yet with the QNAP Docker instance of Deepstack. Wish I was smarter about all of this LOL.

Completely agree with that! Hopefully someone with a similar situation and experience will chime in. Thanks!
What problems are you having? Does the docker install? Does it run? What does the logs say? Have you reviewed this video? I would think you would need give it an IP or assigned an IP. can you ping it?

I have Docker installed on the QNAP. Deepstack is installed and I can ping it from my Blue Iris PC where I have AI Tools installed. AI Tools errors when I try to use it. The AI Tools log shows the following multiple times when I start it up after configuring it to use the QNAP Deepstack instance via IP and port. I have not reciewed the video but I certainly will.

When it tries to detect an image. It gets the attached error.

From the Blue Iris/AI Tools PC via a web browser, I enter the URL for Deepstack on the QNAP and get the attached Deepstack web page.

OK from that page it looks like Deepstack is not your issue. This looks more like an AItool question. Maybe delete the AI folder and start over? just a thought.
AI Tool works just fine when accessing the Deepstack instance on Windows 10 where AI Tool is installed. @Chris Dodge, do you have any suggestions for me to try? Thanks!
