    How critical is Lux/Low light ability for night capture?

    Going to be mounting it to vinyl siding corner trim will see what I can do to shim it Day time shots are fine, greatly helped by the near zero angle. Although the plates are a bit small it is still very readable Still trying to dial in the night setting. Will have to do the park my car trick...

    How critical is Lux/Low light ability for night capture?

    Pft1300 or ipcampower combiner splitter I work from home.... No commute lol Yeah need a touch more zoom but the z12 already at max Tried test mounting on the wall, found the click system extremely difficult to aim.... when you only need a tiny bit of movement at max zoom, 1 click is too much

    How can I get better definition at further range when camera is next to porch light?

    or branch the porch light circuit/fixture and add a security flood light for the lawn. I was going to say IR illuminator but that's not going to work if the cam stay in color mode, which would need white light

    How critical is Lux/Low light ability for night capture?

    So my used z12 arrived. Tested one of them close by/next to the lefttek ptz the 18x fov of the leftek is virtually the same as the 12x from the 5231-z12 lol... Ptz have the x18 at the lower right, the z12 was shooting through a double pane window so that is not as sharp as it should be

    Focusing IR vs visible light.

    Guess I didn't go deep enough into the rabbit hole :p -- edit Rather I needed to dive down a different rabbit hole as that post was in the dahua sub forum instead of this lpr one I have been reading up on

    Focusing IR vs visible light.

    I have been diving into the old threads in this lpr forum a lot recently. Many have already discussed the issue of day vs night focus issue. Although I suspect many of you know or have thought about this, but I don't think anyone have explicitly stated the cause here. I also ran into this...

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 - What is the focus issue?

    Huh...? I thought the difference for the 5241 vs 5231 was the AI function? can we still dial/set focus via the web UI or sunrise/sunset with the 5231? I got 2 of those second hand coming

    Basically I have been testing the PTZ from my front porch on the NE corner of my house. I have pointed the PTZ at 12x NE (#1 pointing NE) and SE (#2 pointing SE) and I can get readable plate in both direction We already had a case of some kids vandalizing one of the under construction home...

    Since I will likely have 3 LPR to play with, planning my LPR placement. What do you guys prefer? #1 or #2? #2 have the benefit that I can place some driveway marker near my front curb and also the LPR long range IR light would really supplement the 2.8mm at the same mount locations aim more...

    So I tried the 1/500 shutter speed and found the plate a little over exposed.... Trying 1/1000 to see if that's a happy middle. Also moved the ptz to the second floor eave testing to avoid the neighbors car and trees

    I also brought 2x 5231-z12 from him as well. Were you able to get the white one or the brown one? I may leave the ptz aiming north and the other 2 cover South and South west if the 12x is enough zoom... Will have to test once they arrive. Try setting the ptz to my setting and see if you are...
