Use Frigate detected objects (and image) as source for detection licence plate? #80

Closed Nornode closed 1 year ago

Nornode commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I have long since wanted to automatically open my garage port based on my licence plate and recently found your integration, Thanks!

Instead of sending an API call every time there's motion, I would like to trigger an API call everytime frigate detected a car. Has anyone done this in the past?

Nornode commented 1 year ago

Never mind... It's provided out of the box with frigate integration on home assistant. I should check more on what entities they provide. 😊 Closing...

you found some solution?

Nornode commented 1 year ago

Yes, as mentioned above: https://docs.frigate.video/integrations/home-assistant/

You installed frigate on HA to obtain a new motion detection entity able to trigger image upload to PlateRecognition cloud?

msolomos commented 8 months ago

am looking also for a way to trigger the service. I've been using Frigate for years but, for me, the motion sensor is not very accurate. Especially when your camera points to a highway with lots of traffic. So please, if someone has find a way to trigger the service. please share it with us

This is the real problem of this project

msolomos commented 8 months ago

Yes, for me is something that' I don't get. Such a great project and is not letting you to use the image of frigate. It says camera only. But even though you provide the camera, then you have to trigger the service...

Why can't just use the image that frigate just detected, pass it to alpr-snapsot for recognition ? (like you do with deepstack, compreface etc etc)

Am I miss something or is just a competitors issue ??

Must be a way to save the captured image, and use an event to trigger processing, I did all that stuff years ago

pilot1981 commented 8 months ago

I tried to use frigate, but I'm unable to take right piscture with license plate...cars in fornt of my house go very slow 10 km/h...

I think this works only with stopped vehicle...

@robmarkcole has already answered this to a previous post. Check issue #83 He suggest to checkout Frigate forums for an approach.
