If you are referring to the camera settings>relevant objects> I have everything selected just for testing, confidence limits are default, cooldown is 0.
Try to select only 2 or 3 relevant objects, as there might have been a limit imposed if I remember right.
otherwise hopefully someone else can help you from here

Can you advise how you are starting deepstack i.e the command line. If it is not correctly setup it can cause the error you are experiencing.
Anybody having issues with Deepstack to day? Woke up and had nothing but ... AI URL for 'DeepStack' failed '6' times. Disabling: '' thru the whole log?
Hello.
This program has been working very well for me but now I would like to add a speaker that tells a message when a person is detected.
I know this could be done with home assistant and node red as I saw on "the hook up" youtube video, but I would like to know if there is a more simple way to do this.
I'm not sure what my options are because I understand that I need an URL that this program will activate when a relevant alert occurs, so not every hub would work.
I'm almost sure that google home can do it with something called assistant links. Not sure if Alexa could do it directly, I understand that it could be done through Home Assistant.
If someone could please point me in the right direction or give some advice for my project, that would be great.
Thanks

Village Guy, so this is a test to hopefully move away from QVR Pro. I had created a VM with Windows 10Pro, running the Blue Iris and AI Tool on that. I originally had the Deepstack running in a QNAP container via docker.
This evening i stopped the container and just did a compelte windows install of Deepstack on my Windows 10 VM with everytthing else. Not ideal but will give me a feel for the software during my trial period.
After all this i am still getting errors: here is my current AI Tool Log followed by the Deepstack Log:

he's asking what command was typed to start your deepstack (originally anyways, if it auto-restarts) in docker, or powershell, or where ever you call it (when your computer first powers up for instance). if it is deepstack for windows it might just be a setting or a line within that program.
from your logs, you shouldn't need all those face detection api's, but you DO need the vision-detection api (which recognizes objects), which isn't shown in your log. this api is called and configured in the deepstack run command, as is other settings including the deepstack version (gpu/cpu, etc). For instance, the command will need to contain the following in it somewhere:
VISION-DETECTION=True

I have set the Token and chat ID in AITool settings, but I do not receive an message in Telegram.
Do any of you have any clue to what can be missing or wrong?
I downloaded via Windows, no Docker or cmd line inputs.
As far as the API's go, the only one i selected during the install was vision detection.
I just did a shutdown and restart, everything looks good and running.
Deepstack is showing a POST /vi/vision/detection and the IP is correct. I did check to make sure that DQ was active @ all good here. But when I check the full url: i get a 404 error. Is this normal?

Sorry to bump everyone, but I was just curious if anyone could help me answer these 3 questions? Or at least the last one about using the "flags" to progmatically wittle down what I long term store?

I can answer two of your questions.
- If your recording 24/7 you only need the flag URL to external trigger BI. ie:
http://127.0.0.1:81/admin?trigger&camera=SecCam_1&user=AI&pw=Tool&flagalert=1No need for two. I'm unsure under what circumstances you would need two trigger URL's but I have seen examples where people are using them. - the flagged clips are already separated in a way, as in the flagged alert will start playing in the hour long clip where the trigger was given. If you want to export the alert to save it in another location you can adjust the stop point to where ever you want from the options in the export function.
If you want to delete a flagged alert you can right click and delete it. It will only delete the alert or more appropriately "bookmark" that is stored in the hour long clip.
If you want to save the alert longer than the hour long clip will be kept, you need to right click the alert and protect it.
If you have the option "Auto Protect when flagged" checked in "Clips And Archiving", the alerts triggered and flagged by AI Tool will not get deleted and end up filling up your storage. Which is bad.
Hope this helps

ahh ok this does make more sense, but both the opening post to this thread and the example post I quoted both had 2 urls. I suspected, or rather hoped, that perhaps there was a third method of enacting BI/AITool, that is to not record 4k 24/7 but simply take jpg's every 4 seconds when motion is detected, then have the URL start 4k recording when an alert is recorded by AITool, but I also suspect this is unlikely to be possible.
Thank you so much for the clear explanation. I was really hoping this wasn't the case and there was a more automatic way to "extract" the flagged clip from the hour (or whatever defined length) clip and move just those flagged clips to another folder before the ongoing recording folder was overwritten.
This is not a contingency I had considered but see how this would be an issue...
Wow, this all seems to require quite a bit of manual interference.
Now this is really good info, I absolutely would've seen that option and thought it was my salvation.
This was insanely helpful, thank you so much. I'm unfortunately still not sure which method is best for me. I keep waffling. I want the most accurate alerts possible (think AITools jpgs should be 4k for that) and have a fair amount of storage but I'd also like more curated long term storage and not to be spinning up 30tb to 60tb to save a month or 2 of (probably unused) surveillance video. Ideally, I'd like a full recording of all my cams for 24 hours (or 72), with the relevant events flagged, then just the flagged event "clips" (as in not the whole hour (or however long) clip) moved to another folder on my BI box, then after a month moved again to unused space on the unraid server for another month or so (all automatically of course
). I've never had a surveillance system before, so I guess I just don't know what my practical uses for it are and maybe this is crazy and I should just get a big hdd for my BI box (it's currently 6tb) record 24/7 then scrap it all after a month, I'm obviously open to any and all suggestions, you taking the time is def getting me closer to my goal though and I thank you.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this project, it's really fun to work with and see objects detected from my BlueIris Cameras and trigger alerts based on them.
Has anyone here tried to train deepquest AI? I see some mention of it but nothing concrete. Someone mentioned training is done in the coral model?

Hello, Newb with my first post. I've pored over the questions posed by @seth-feinberg and graciously answered by @Village Guy . At the risk of claiming the prize for most dense newbie, I still don't understand cloned cameras and their relationship to dual stream. Here's my question:
My goal is to use the substream at SD resolutions for AI detection (and triggers) as well as recording the SD stream 24/7. I only want to keep HD clips that are triggered by Deepstack. I've seen the videos on this, but what is confusing is it's hard to tell how much is still relevant with the current BIv5. Do I want/need to create both HD and SD cameras? Is that "cloning" or something else entirely? Conversely, can a single logical BI camera use both streams to send the image to AItools->Deepstack and then be triggered by the AI engine?
One of the videos that used a single camera definition seems to suggest the latter was possible, but he wasn't keeping the SD stream so that might be dealbreaker?
Thanks for any help you can send my way. I promise to improve my self-sufficiency in time.

Hi!
AI Tool is a wonderful tool! I just started evaluating it since a couple of days ago! Thank you for sharing it.
I would like to make a modification proposal. Taking my personal case as an example, I would need each Telegram chat-id to be per camera, and not a single global chat-id. In my case, this need is due to the fact that certain cameras are intended to be shown by some users, and others by a different group of people, who do not necessarily share the same cameras.
Or may be anyone has a different idea to accomplish this?
I say it again, the tool is excellent and the tutorial to put it into operation very well explained. Thanks a lot.

So, obviously, i struggled with this a lot (maybe I still do!) but my current understanding is this:
- Dual Streams: when setting up your cameras IN Blue Iris, you define a second stream (which is your cameras SD substream you defined IN the Camera's Settings i.e. Amcrest). I believe the attached screenshot from this link: danecreekphotography/node-deepstackai-trigger shows this. This, I believe, allows BI to show the substream when in the Blue Iris interface in the SD resolution (when that particular Camera is not focused or in a large format), where an HD resolution would be a waste of resources (since it's encoding on the fly and HD would be pointless in a small, say, 2" x 1" box in the Blue Iris interface).
- Cloned Cameras: When you add TWO "different" cameras into BI. I put different in quotes because again it's the same camera, just the HD Stream and its equivalent SD substream (again set IN the Camera's Settings) BUT you add both the HD Stream AND the SD substream as their own cameras in BI (i.e. if viewing all cameras in BI, there are 2 cameras that show the same picture, one HD one SD).

I am FAR from an expert, so this might be less than helpful, but seems like a permissions issue? I also know the latest AI Tool doesn't use the Cameras folder any more, so what version of AITool are you using?
