    Is it possible

    Camera PTZ imporx

    Hey Jean-Louis Those online retailers in Africa have very poor after sales service. Suggest you contact Regal in Nelspruit and they can assist with either Hikvision or Dahua. Will be worth your while in the long run.

    Are you going to automatically collect the data on the plates? or just need a good picture to reference to and manually find the details? If your requirement is just to get a good still photo while recording the video, you camera positioned at 2.5m high and about 10m from the target, I guess...

    Locked myself out of the virtual host one one of my cameras

    The NVR doesn't use the http ports, it uses port 8000. Nevertheless, the SADP tool should allow you to reset the camera. anyway. You can also run a port scan on the camera ip to check which ports are open (www.advanced-port-scanner.com)
