    Need to replace entire system for LPR and overview

    Monitor is a Dell U2415. I don't have 50 or 60 selcted, it's on default of outdoor. But the flickering is gone now. All those adjustments resolved it. I think wittaj nailed it, H265 and bitrate. Now that I have a sharper image (and shutter is working very well at the settings suggested...

    That's odd, I don't think I've come across a PAL/NTSC setting on this camera yet. Flickering, though I'm not sure that's what I would have called it, seems to have been solved by wittaj's settings recommendations. wittaj, I am taking a bit of a gamble on your shutter settings and seeing how...

    Okay, so it's much better. I switched to 1/4000, which switch it to black and white, but I can capture good stills now. Will have to see how it does tomorrow in the daylight. I think it will be fine now, but I have a lot more work to do on this system. Thanks, guys!

    Yeah, I forget to compare that. It looks exactly the same logged into the camera. The other, identical camera has a better picture, but once there is motion, everything becomes a blurry mess. I read somewhere that people reported settings needing a couple saves and a refresh to verify. I...

    Looks like I forgot I had left the shutter at 1/4000 when I tried that before posting here today. Switched to auto, its the same. 3D NR just has an on/off toggle on this camera, no slider. I checked the firmware, it says it's up to date. I don't have any options for adjusting 2D.

    Oh, in live view, it kind of has waves of blurriness that shifts all over the place. Kind of like it's trying to focus, but it's not a depth of filed thing, it's more like patches shifting all over from clear to blurry. I just noticed it seems to have a direct relationship with the seconds on...

    It was a triggered event, because all cars are basically triggering right now. I have not fine tuned anything. In fact, I will likely leave it on continuous anyway, because I don't see myself having the time to work on it much in the next 4 or 5 days days. So I was really hoping to sit at the...

    This is the settings for that camera. I thought that because dual streams was checked, I would get both and export the main stream. Am I way off on this?

    Need to replace entire system for LPR and overview

    Thanks, all of my previous photography knowledge is in SLR and DSLR photography, never did video. So bitrate was not in my knowledge bank to know if I was high or low. When you say FPS and iframes matching, I am trying to get a key of 1.00, correct? Because I initially matched the numbers...

    I was thinking I need to start another thread. But I'm also wondering if there is a possibility that I may have the wrong camera for the job, so I figured I'd continue here. I haven't asked Andy yet, but since he's on this thread, maybe he'll see this anyway. I got openalpr running just fine...

    Thank you @wittaj and @EMPIRETECANDY You both have allowed me to rest, but more importantly, rest easy. This place is awesome.

    Since it's so late, I'm calling it a night. Thank you for the quick response. I would have given up shortly here. Now it's up and running and I can sleep well. I'm not configured anywhere near well yet, but at least i have what I need for tomorrow morning. Thank you so much, beer is on me...

    Taking the special character out fixed it. I have been fiddling with this for 2 hours, and it was a stupdi special character that did it.

    Actually I am running scout commercial. But I am still using cloud, only running commercial for vehicle make and model and direction of travel info. I will try changin passord now and see if that helps. Then, I'll check what you just posted now. I'll be right back with results.

    Wait, no special characters? Even !@#$%^&*() I have one of those in my password. Is that my issue?

    I just barely started learning BI today, so I don't yet "know" anything, really. I will follow the wiki. What I learned was several things such as what you suggested, sub streams and frame rates. My system is up and running, but it isn't where I want it to be yet. It's just a baby. But I...

    Cameras arrived today. Got one Z12E installed today for the LPR zone. I also got the 2 T5442T-ZE domes installed. Blue Iris is up and running, but I have a few snags. 1) CPU demand is much higher than expected. I have learned a few ways to help that, but haven't had time to do it yet. I...

    LPR is more important that facial recog. I just wanted to have facial recog as an option if I was going to spend more money on something new. It's not a local issue, but more of a... proof of concept, if you will. In reasonable time, I will likely be starting a new thread here to share some...

    I have worked in semi professional photography, so I understand what will happen at night. The bigger hurdle for me is the video aspect and the link to NVR or BI. I will start working on BI tomorrow to get ready for the cameras to arrive. Your night shot is promising to me. If I can get...

    I emailed Andy and he was on it like stripes on a zebra. We discussed all my parameters and I settled on 2x Z12E and 2x T5442T-ZE They will arrive via Amazon by tomorrow and Tuesday. Like i said before,I wish I came here first. He also recommended IPC-LPR237B-IR in case I need to add...

    Need to replace entire system for LPR and overview

    I am a tech geek, but I also have a particular need, so I will know the particular plates I am looking to capture. I also have the particular faces, but if the tech isn't reliable, I think capturing the footage will be sufficient for my needs. So I will not count on face recognition, I don't...

    I've gone down the rabbit hole. I'm looking at Blue Iris now instead of a NVR. Before I get too deep into brand specific cameras, I wanted to ask this. Are there better cameras than the ones mentioned so far for LPR or general overview, if I lean away from Dahua? I'm talking better as in...

    Thank you for all the responses. It's nice to finally have information from actual users instead of the salespeople and websites I've been getting my info from. Today, I will look over the links you all provided. I'll come back later after I get a chance to review. I read something a few...

    This is my first post here. I have searched, but I think I need specific advice. I have an existing camera setup of exclusively HDview brand NVR, 2 dome cameras and 2 bullet cameras from Amazon. One bullet set up on a Rekor server for LPR via RTSP, the other is zoomed in to catch vehicle...
