    Not trying to get licenses during the day at this distance, but wanted to play around with the zoom. This is zoom maxed out. The stationary plate is 73 feet away. Motion plates aren't readable at that distance. This is on the default 30FPS though. I may try lowering to 15FPS and see what plates...

    There's definitely a little more playing around with settings I can do. I notice on mine, I have an Advanced option under Encoding too.

    There is no manual control of shutter. There are three options. Auto, Frame Clarity, and Best Low-Light. The Frame Clarity raises shutter 4x. Best Low-Light decreases frame rate to 20.

    I've changed the Shutter Exposure to "Frame Clarity" which states it will increase the shutter speeds by 4x. It would be nice if they opened that up for a more granular control. We will see how that change looks tonight.

    Here's the camera as it comes to the consumer with default settings as if it would be just plugged in and not optimized. I'm going to look over the settings and light functions and do another test tomorrow night. There is a spotlight that turns on with the default settings when an AI event...

    I checked a couple of hours ago, and all condensation was gone. I don't even know that I would have noticed it unless I had kept looking at it.

    Yes. If not tonight, tomorrow. One thing I noticed was condensation on the inside of the lens. After a little research, it seems to be a known trait with these cameras. Not too happy about that, but want to give it the chance to acclimate.

    Here's some daytime video. I placed marks on the concrete at 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 feet. This is out of the box default settings with no zoom. Remember to change your YT settings to watch in 4K (2160p) resolution.

    Here is the G6 Pro turret at default settings in the day.

    UPS delivered to the wrong address for the Ubiquiti G6 Pro turret, but I retrieved it and installed this morning. The IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 from Andy still has not shipped. I used a board similar to what @wittaj suggested for temp mounting it for testing. I cut to fit a small board between the lips of...

    I just ordered them yesterday. The G6 Pro turret shipped and will be here today. Andy's camera hasn't shipped yet.

    Needs to stop raining. See those circle marks? That's from a new attachment for my pressure washer. I just need some dry days.

    What's a really quick way to do camera swaps under vinyl soffits? I have a IPC-HDW4431C-A mounted where I will do the testing. I've seen magnets used before.

    Yep, 2x the price. Yes, I'm going to test in my driveway before committing.
