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

[pbc]

Not sure what's causing it, but are others noticing a dramatic reduction in the ability to detect people the last several weeks, in particular at night? I may need to completely swap out these ColorVu cameras as they don't have IR. But I've already masked out all the trees on the right side as they always come up as people (sometimes Giraffes).




Bute even during the day it's not triggering at random times (I was curious as I know when this person left and came, and it captured him coming in early in the morning, but nothing when he left or when I went out as well to put something in his truck)...

Have you tried using Simple trigger mode vesus default Vector?
In addition if you have masked out areas or use auto masking it might mask out events you wish to see.

Can I recommend that you first of all get your system functional before discussing the resolution of streams. It really makes no difference to the fundamental configuration and is confusing you. Once you have Aitool functional everything else will fall into place.

Trying.... I hit a roadblock running aitool.

Try moving and then running your program from your documents directory where it will have full permissions assuming you have admin rights. I cannot guarantee this will fix the problem but it will certainly stop you running into other rights issues.

No joy. I even rebooted to see if that helps. Here's the log if there is any hint there. I do appreciate the asisstance.

[Village Guy]

Have you installed and tested deepstack is running?

Is blueiris running? I note your log indicates 0 users!

 

[CAL7]

Progress. Maybe even success. I went back to the VorlonCd release version 2.0.37.7608 from Oct 30 and that is now running. I'm not concluding that there is anything wrong with the more recent version, but perhaps something in the way I installed it. Thank you, @Village Guy.

 

[seth-feinberg]

Thanks again for everyone's help! (especially @Village Guy !) I'm currently recording 24x7 on my sd streams and triggering record on the 4k stream on alert, but I'd like to try out (at least) recording 24x7 on the 4k stream and flagging events. I broadly understand how to do this but i'd really appreciate a tutorial to follow, does anybody have a good link for enacting the newer implementation option of AITool/Deepstack?

Question: I have been using the AI Tool since it came out and have upgraded / updated as each new version has came out. I run everything on WIN 10, all parts (BI, AI, DS) are on the same machine. No Docker or anything like that. I have noticed when I need to reboot or re start everything, that about half the time (on the deep stack tab) instead of saying "Running" it will say "not activated running" I will either leave it alone and it changes to running or I just keep hitting stop, start or sometimes I just hit the save button and it changes back to running. I don't really think it is a issue/error but am curious as to what is going on- Any ideas?

 

[pbc]

Have you tried using Simple trigger mode vesus default Vector?
In addition if you have masked out areas or use auto masking it might mask out events you wish to see.

Just tried simple vs vector, same result. Seems to think the edge of my wall is a person. So I just masked that. But man, I have a ton of stuff masked at this point.

@Chris Dodge I'm trying out Amazon Rekognition tonight. I have it all set up and working. Is there a way for AI Tool to support the various labels? I'd like to add "Deer" so I get alerts when they trigger an alert. Is that what "Additional Relevant Objects" is for? Can I just add Deer there and have it trigger the camera to record on that camera? Thanks!

If you only experience the problem at night, I guess at this time you only have a couple of options until the detection algorithms become more intelligent.

1. Light up your driveway with an LED flood light
2. Change your camera for one that supports IR

Been running well for months now, but I'd like to update my deepstack to the latest version. How can I update deepstack which I have running in docker? The deepstack site that talked about docker installation seems to be gone now.

Just stop Deepstack running under Docker and then restart using:

docker run --restart=always -e VISION-DETECTION=True -v localstorage:/datastore -p XX:5000 deepquestai/deepstack:cpu-x5-beta
Or
docker run --restart=always -e VISION-DETECTION=True -v localstorage:/datastore -p XX:5000 deepquestai/deepstack:latest

Replace XX with your port number

Amazing, much appreciated.

The newer deepstack version is so much faster. My image analysis went from around 1300ms to <300ms just with this update.

Wondering if there's a way to update the Windows version. (If they're continuing to update that as well)

 

[Schrodinger's Cat]

Why run the windows version over docker on windows? I used to run the Windows version but it was such a pain starting it up every time I rebooted. Docker starts up on boot and I don't have to do anything.

 

[Village Guy]

Docker is the way to go. There is / was a question mark in respect whether the windows version was going to be continued to be supported!
The developer's seem to prefer docker and it's been working great for me from day 1. Note Your mileage may vary

Yeah, I had it running that way on another machine. I agree the detection is way better, but it also seems to be more resource intensive because of the WSL V2 system under the hood. The VM associated with Docker for Windows is pretty large and chews up some serious RAM.

That's not even been close to my experience but like I said your mileage may vary!
I guess it is somewhat dependant upon resources available
