viseron VS openalpr

I'm using 4 Dahua turret cameras, also setup exactly like u/o4b describes. Works flawlessly. While I'm also using Frigate, there's another similar piece of software called Viseron that I've just become aware of that looks similar. I can't speak for it at all as I'm very happy with Frigate, but if you're starting from nothing, you may as well consider which may work better for you.

Check out the release notes: https://github.com/roflcoopter/viseron/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Viseron

I have been using zoneminder for years and love it. If you can actually get a tensorflow unit, Frigate can be good. Just heard about Viseron, and am looking at trying it. https://github.com/roflcoopter/viseron

There is also: https://github.com/roflcoopter/viseron - which again, using mqtt. You would need to bridge it to Signal.

I do love having my threadripper in my home docker server though. Home assistant, plex, viseron, etc. all love the available CPU.

If not motioneye, there are a bunch of other free options. I run zoneminder - it should work there with filters to move clips from primary storage on a schedule. You could do it with this one + rclone as well: https://github.com/roflcoopter/viseron

viseron works pretty well for me with cpu only.

Why is ANPR unlawful for private citizens to perform on their own footage? (e.g. using https://www.openalpr.com)

You can actually build your own using OpenALPR: https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr/wiki/OpenALPR-Design

You can try also using it paired with something like openalpr or plate recognizer. Both have cheap options, plate recognizer offers a free plan with 2,500 lookups.

if anyone knows an up-to-date license plate reader version. https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr is outated, doesn't read different angles natively, traning tools are also outated etc but anyone knows an open source version that as well as say https://platerecognizer.com/ or even https://www.openalpr.com/ please let me know.

I like the idea of crowd sourced proof of infractions. You could easily extract EXIF data to grab date/time/location and also use openalpr to automate data input for human review.

openALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) + DCDMV integration + raspberry pi + a GPS cap on the RPi + decent webcam + OpenMaps (you don't even need this unless you want to plot it); Maybe add a condition to send plate location over $XXXX to some traffic enforcement distros. Hardware for a setup will probably run $250 tops if you're going fancy

Oh, It was my school project something like that, and I use some YOLO's and OpenALPR, openalpr is amazing give it a try: OpenALPR https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr
