Good info, I haven't used BI so that is good to know! I only do motion detection on the main stream on the post above, the two others are just for Live Views only for being displayed 24/7. Sorry if there was any confusion on that.

Outstanding information here, a good primer for anyone. I would just disagree on 1 part, the VBR/CBR and VBR's usage, at least in my use cases. Andy's cameras, at least the newer ones, seem to scale up VBR as needed very fast. I could imagine some lower quality ones would definitely have...

Little late to the game here, and I build my systems on Milestone, so I'm not sure if blue iris has this capability. I mostly use Dell Optiplex SFF computers for small installs. I take the system NVME drive and break off 100gb for the "live" drive in Milestone, that catches all the recordings...

Them sending out the notice finally I was told was because of me. I ripped them a new one for no communication to the public on the outage. My PD customers were not happy abut the outage, and no notification or response from rekor or replying to support tickets. Hope they do better going...

I'm not disagreeing on that one either!

Pleaaseeee request a dark mode! It’s so bright!

I can speak on Andy's shipping from Hong Kong, I get stuff faster from him via fedex from Hong Kong than I do ground shipping from most places in US. Don't worry about him shipping from Hong Kong by any means!

I've used both - Open ALPR is hands down better than the Dahua ALPR function as of a few months ago when I last tested. The built in dahua may have gotten better, I have not tested lately. OpenALPR is outstanding.

No, its pitch black at night. You get the plate and nothing else at night.

A regular high quality camera that close with the built in IR will get the plates quite well since the plates pass almost right by the camera. 1/1000 or 1/2000 exposure and you should be set.

You're right on the road, its a pretty easy install. See a LPR install I did on a post next to a gate, just used one of Andy's higher quality 2-12mm turrets, works perfectly. Short LPR setup with IPC-HDW5231R-ZE

Yeah man, this chip shortage is killing everything including cameras!

Yes, for that price, only a bit more than the 7442-Z4's its definitely interesting. The 7442's are on point in nearly all condition on the 15 or so I have installed, so if you are saying these are better, I'm excited.

I thought it would be more than that! I may need to get a few to try out. I hate the non POE setup but I'd wire one of these in to give it a try.

I've installed one of the new axis LPR's too. Quality control issues, took 2 RMA's to get a full functional ones. I get better reads with the 7442-Z4 though for 1/3 the price.
