Does the new subscription csv file still have the same columns as the previous free csv file, just some data is blanked/zero'd out? I rolled my own setup in...

    My Speeding Dectector Setup

    Here is a thread that details how to set the camera to manual focus only. Pages 102 & 103 of this document detail the usage. Pages 165-167 of this document also detail the usage. The second document is a couple of years newer than the first. Both of them have some great info.

I use the windows OpenALPR client with nvidia GPU integration to the cloud. I tried to get the OpenALPR Tool setup on a spare laptop but couldn't get it...
