Hi Oliver ,

I was looking for a linux / command line program to monitor our ANPR hickvision cameras. Found yours...

Was able to compile it, however not understand how to use. I've created the .env file , set the key.. .put the HTTP_HOST the camera IP... but things appear to missing...

Please , can you share how use it ?

I just able to connect on it. understand that it's a server . I've logged into. However, appear they objective is to add plates to the camera, that's right?

I think it was to monitor live the plates detected by the camera

Hi @ceinmart,

I can't recall how far I got with writing this project but I do know it never got to the stage of testing it with real devices.

The idea of this project was to stream alert events via a web socket connection from the cameras and if they matched a number plate enter into the database, send an email with details of that number plate.

The connection code was generated by AI so may not be 100% correct.

If you can provide the error you're getting when running it I can see if I can advise what you may need to do, in theory it should get to the point where it's connected to the camera(s) and outputting any events it receives to allow their format to be seen and the handling code to be implemented based upon that but I didn't have access to a test device at the time to try that out.
