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

I am using docker with latest version aitool. I suspect you may simply have a port issue. Check your ports are not in use by other apps and that you can reach deepstack manually.

Thanks for info, I will check the port alhtough I'm almost sure that it was correct, well I'll let you know briefly..

Docker will work just fine with the original release as well. That said I highly recommend you run with the latest version.
It was my bad, there was a Windows native version of Deepstack installed in my PC which the AI Tool of course detected and tried to start it. I removed it and now the Deepstack tab is gone and everything works. Thanks for help!

Make sure you are using the latest version.
Sorry for this stupid question, but where can I find the latest version? When I go to Releases · VorlonCD/bi-aidetection, then I can only get the version from October.

And one additional question: When I try to copy the alert image to a network folder then I get an error that the network path could not be found. But the network share is mounted as Y: and the directories are all there. Using the command line, I can copy a file to that path without a problem. Any ideas?
 

Thanks for this. However, now I run into the next problem. The new version has a totally different way to communicate with the Deepstack server. My Deepstack server runs on docker and works fine. However, in the new version, I cannot get it to run. Is there any documentation on how to set the address for Deepstack in this new version. The documentation for the new version is really horrible. Or is there any website or manual for this?

The deepstack start up has nothing to do with aitool. It should start up automatically if it is installed correctly. Deepstack runs pretty much the same as it did with old v1.67. I can switch back and forth between both new and old versions of aitool without making any changes to the docker / deepstack installation. I fear you may be looking in the wrong place for the problem.

I found the solution. It had to do with regional settings for decimal points. Found it here: Deepstack returned 'Invalid value for min_confidence' · Issue #136 · VorlonCD/bi-aidetection
Now everything is working great. Also the image copy to the network drive. Really nice update overall compared to 1.65. Really loving the MQTT messaging.

When updating the VorlonCD AI Tools to the latest version, I must be doing something wrong because every time, it hangs and does not work properly.

I download the latest version from the github
right-click ZIP and unblock
unzip
open in visual studios and build as a new project
Open the program by going to src>UI > bin> Debug > AITOOLS
The program opens and I see that the settings are all saved

Error states: Reverting to REGISTRY backup settings...

Also all new images stay stuck in queue.


Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Hi All,

I'm getting AITool setup for the first time. Using the 'greater than v1.67' option for flaging clips.

The UI of BI (& AI Tool) has moved on a bit since Post 1 was last updated, so I have a question about the right config setting to choose.

In section 2.3 Configure each camera it says "Now go to 'Trigger', check 'Capture an alert list image'". My version of BI doesn't have that option:

I assume its now part of the 'Add to alerts list:' drop down? What is the right option to choose in that drop down?

Just a guess, are you sure your downloading the correct files? I suspect you have downloaded the files required to build the application. If you want application files already built you need to download them from the vorlonCD released section.

The latest version that I show from the releases is 2.0.37 from the release page:

There are versions up to 2.0.7x though -- where do I find those builds?
 
Chris, VorlonCD hasn't done an official release for some time as when he does he updates the instructions and list of changes / additions and he's not had the time to do that yet.

The last change/addition was 15 days ago per the github source..
 
In addition to the last question I asked, I have another. What is the right combination of settings so that you get a video recorded for a confirmed detected object? I thought the 'trigger URLs' were supposed to tell BI to record a video now that AITool had confirmed there is an object of interest in the frame? I only get JPGs with a Flag and the [summary] text included - no video.
Thanks for your help.

I'm curious what version most people use to upgrade. I searched this thread over the last week and found, in addition to the official VorlonCD release, versions 526, 569, and 626. I went with the latest I could see:


I don't mind taking a chance to be on the leading edge but I'd prefer not to be on the bleeding edge.

As soon as their is a new commit I rebuild, but then I'm happy to test everything out and report any bugs. If you have a version that does all you want then their is probably no point in going with the latest until it has been tested for a while.

I have tried enabling Recording video on the [Record] tab, but this means that BI is recording continuously (I assume because there is a lot of motion in the scene - outside and windy day). Is there a configuration that avoids the continuous recording?
These are my settings:

Yes, just setup clones for your cameras and configure accordingly. It will then only record if AITOOL recognises something you have listed. I use clone mode as I have no wish to capture video of false alerts.

Thanks Village Guy. I wondered if that was going to be the answer. Back to that setup then.
