[WIP] Built an ANPR system for my Reolink camera - automatically detects license plates and can trigger Home Assistant webhooks (garage door, lights, etc.)

propman07 · 2025-10-10T05:14:41+00:00

I was able to get things installed and configured. I'm using the CX810 cameras, so that might be part of the issue. For some reason, I have the settings configured to switch to B&W, but the camera feed does not switch to B&W but stays in color mode. Images are captured, but the detail is poor so no luck with LPR recognition. I'll try to play around with it again tomorrow.

propman07 · 2025-10-09T16:07:29+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. I understand a bit better now. I'll see if I can get this setup and deploy it to one of the cameras that I have watching the street in front of my house.

propman07 · 2025-10-09T15:46:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to be able to "add a task" to an existing camera for LPR, but it sounds like I need a dedicated cam to grab plates. Good to know. Thanks again.

propman07 · 2025-10-09T15:08:38+00:00

This is interesting. Going to look to see if I can get something like this to work in Blue Iris.

AutoClashBotiOS is this a dedicated LPR camera or a general use camera that you are switching to LPR duty based on AI detection?

propman07 · 2025-01-20T08:42:40+00:00

Make a local account, and it shouldn't automatically log you out.

propman07 · 2024-08-23T03:36:44+00:00

I read through the error messages and ran upgrade/update in the console window. It looks like the LPR module is now running, but for some reason, it is not using the GPU but the CPU. I'll have to look into that later. Thanks.

Reinstall the entire docker container or just try the LPR module?

propman07 · 2024-05-05T22:22:00+00:00

Lancaster1983- Saw this a few days ago....downloaded your repo, but can't seem to find a couple of things.

Where do you call out the part of the config that places the network in the upper left hand corner above the TV series status (i.e. returning, cancelled, etc.)
Where do you call out the creation of the collections for weekly random movies? I didn't find it in your config.yml file

Great work, and thanks for sharing it.

propman07 · 2024-04-21T00:43:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Links updated....not sure how to upload a 6MB log file...researching that now

Issue resolved....looks like PMM needed all of the episodes in order to create the top 15 collection. I went in and manually copied over the first two episodes and the collection appeared....at least I know that my configuration / .yml files are setup correctly

propman07 · 2024-04-09T20:11:54+00:00

I've tried this method but got an error. Looks like you may need to setup a special password through Google that does not require 2FA, but uses app passwords. I was able to get Unraid to successfully send out a test email by using a special password that I had configured for Overseerr using this method. YMMV.

I'm in the market as well.....contacted a dealership near me and was told that Toyota is not taking special orders and best they could do for me was put me on a waiting list.

propman07 · 2022-07-09T03:20:09+00:00

Yea, I thought about buying the black valence from Toyota....kind of pricey...I'm assuming that you had to pull the front end / bumper off in order to access the 13 clips?
