    1/1.8" cameras at night

    That's part of why I selected these cameras, I felt I could figure it out without much struggle bus or crazy long optical zoom. But, no, I still have to invest my time learning, ride the struggle bus, and replace this optimistic 2.8-12mm Turret camera for a longer 12-32;mm Bullet camera when the...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Any advice for locking in the focus on the Northbound traffic camera? I could add a reflector to that tree. But the tree is 70ft away. My vehicle choke point is only 15-25ft from this mailbox as vehicles pass by. The plan is to get plates long before they get to the tree, or stop sign 135ft at...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    S3 chipset = different user interface, thanks, my Blue/White felt like I had the wrong firmware, or some user error I had clicked incorrectly, was trying to figure out before posting screenshots. It is set to shutter priority, I've tried 1/500 and 1/2000 last 24 hours. Haven't touched the Gain...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Is there a reason why my Camera's IP address admin user interface screen is White & Blue, I don't have the Gray & Orange user interface others have posted screenshots look different than mine. Is it a old firmware or a plug-in I need to add to the camera's? Why the different User Interfaces...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    I have a 8-32mm Bullet I can swap into this location and replace the 2.8-12mm Turret camera, but it will no longer be camouflaged on the tree. It should be much closer to the vehicles, but has the exact same settings interface. I'm concerned about using it if this camera can't even get close to...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Just woke up and grabbed this image from my phone, this vehicle is parked across the street in my ideal capture zone and it's washed out even sitting stationary. Frustrating it would be a 100% capture during the day. I'll have to play with the settings tomorrow and try again tomorrow night...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Maybe that is a problem, would I need to turn off auto 3D IR? Frustrating many people claim these 1/1.8 works for them with default settings and I'm on the struggle bus! The pictures above are completely washed out beyond use. I turn up the shutter speed and I get ghosting trail effect that is...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Zoom is maxed out, this is a 2.8-12mm turret model, but it's only 10-30ft from passing vehicles in a 25MPH residential area (Southbound has a slow curve 200ft away, Northbound has a stop sign 165ft away). I don't think I need more zoom based on the vehicles take up 1/4 of the field of view. Here...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    My State does not have front plates, both of my cameras are mounted right at the curb to catch rear plates. My choke points are pretty good. With the right camera settings it's a guaranteed LPR capture. But my settings are still a little off, and it takes 24+ hours to take the advice, make...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Is there an easy button or place to disable Auto-Focus? I had it in a good spot but I don't see a toggle to disable Auto-Focus. I know many cameras cycle the zoom lens and Auto-Focus after a regular reboot. All of my cameras do a daily reboot, but even if I change to weekly or monthly it's going...

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    Are those reflectors in your neighbors yards? How did you ask them to place a reflector on their pole? (I would have to use their mailbox in my tight Field of View I'm zoomed into.

    1/1.8" cameras at night

    With these larger image sensors, if there is adequate street lights is it okay to leave them in color mode for LPR at night, or does LPR require the B&W infrared LEDs to capture correctly at night?
