How to choose a location for camera
If you don't have front plates you'll need dual cameras. Then it's a balance of wide enough to capture a vehicle driving around a parked vehicle in one direction, and high enough to capture a vehicle with a parked vehicle or cross traffic in the way on the other direction. Here is my camera... -
ReoLink POE Switch - Any IP Cam User Reviews?
Remember it's NOT gigabit switch 100Mbps for each port with only 1,000Mbps LAN uplink ports, don't plug a WiFi Access Point into it, or a PC, just PoE security cameras. Reolink is a good starting point for an Individual to start their PoE security cameras system. You can get it up and running...- RJM_50

Nead Help With License Plate Number
What your most reliable go to website database (not just free), that includes: The lien holders name and address. Date of purchase. Some I use they outdated, still lists a plate for a previous vehicle that plate was previously issued before a transfer, or retired & reissued. Some sites don't... -
New chipset User Interface information?
Lots of videos on NVR I don't use, but I finally found a PDF at the bottom. That should be at the top before NVR AI and PTZ settings, I almost gave up watching after watching 6+ videos that didn't pertain to my question. Thanks... -
New chipset User Interface information?
5442 series with the new S3 chipset, the interface is not Gray/Orange like all the information found online. The new S3 chipset cameras have a Blue/White interface. -
Should I even try to get plates with a 5442?
With the 1/1.8 image sensor you don't need the shutter speed cranked that high. I have both of mine set a 1/1000 at night and it works with default shutter speed during the day. I have both the a Turret IPC-T54IR-ZE and the Bullet IPC-T54IR-Z4E cameras doing LPR for me. The more common Bullet... -
I finished my LPR set-up after 10 months of testing and proof of concept.
I'm using both a Turret IPC-T54IR-ZE and the Bullet IPC-T54IR-Z4E cameras doing LPR captures for me. My state stopped issuing front license plates in 1983 to increase their profits, same vehicle registration costs charged, but only 1 plate delivered to each vehicle owner. So I have to use 2... -
New chipset User Interface information?
is there a YouTube video, or any documentation that goes over the new chipset User Interface? Not the older Gray/Orange user interface, Dahua changed to a new Blue/White User Interface that I have not found easy to translate from the old interface, For example, I'm not sure what all these... -
Digital License Plates
Nice! Glad the camera I purchased has this much potential. My only problem is the Day/Night won't change at the correct times. I have 2 cameras, 1 eventually started working correctly, the other has been stuck in B&W night mode (but won't turn on the IR LEDs until the right darkness). FedEx... -
Love this community! (This motorcycle was flying 50MPH+ in a 25 residential area)
Absolutely not, for 3 summers we have had a group of 2-8 juvenile delinquents racing their Mimi Bikes across the city at (literally) any day/hour. No registration or plates No insurance No helmets (required until 21) Running stop signs & red lights Failure to yield to oncoming traffic... -
How many vehicles just don't have plates?
It's up to the individual States to deal with laws and automotive registration, etc. Licence plates are different in every state. Currently only 30 States require a front license plate, while 20 States do not require it. (Why our vehicle design looks better because that front licence plate... -
How many vehicles just don't have plates?
A 2014 Dodge Charger without any license plates! -
Love this community! (This motorcycle was flying 50MPH+ in a 25 residential area)
...and I captured the plate number TN314, cute bent plate to obscure it from Law Enforcement. This reflector trick to fine tune the focus was a genius level move (thanks @Flintstone61). I added one under my neighbors mailbox (helps at night), then I had to stick one on the middle of the curb... -
Day/Night mode is not working correctly
I don't have that option available -
Day/Night mode is not working correctly
It took a while for my IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 to start changing correctly at dusk and dawn. But my IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 still won't change from day to night. Both have identical settings, with the few days the Bullet was acting up, I'm not sure if either have the right settings, the settings for... -
How many vehicles just don't have plates?
Even if I did, it wouldn't be enough to see over delivery trucks that park out front, this is just how it has to be. But it does work very reliably, the only problems I'm having is when it flips to Day mode too early in the morning or not early enough at night. -
Mini-Review - EmpireTech LPR413-Z3
That makes more sense, it has the processing ability and storage built into the unit, and does not require an special NVR or system running on the network just for LPR data logging. Not sure if I skimmed over that part or if it's not a prominent detail in your review. That is really cool it... -
LPR Dashcam
Best simple trick for vehicle dash cameras is the verbally read the plate out loud for the microphone to hear. If you read the articles a LPR camera has the shutter speed, gain, contrast, and infrared LEDs adjusted to the point it's no longer useful for general coverage. Plus you're not going... -
How many vehicles just don't have plates?
My State stopped issuing front plates in the 1983 to increase their profits from vehicle registration. That's why I have a southbound and northbound LPR camera set-up to catch traffic in both directions. Only front plates are novelties, mostly weird messages and the occasional European plate to... -
How many vehicles just don't have plates?
The Northbound traffic LPR camera has way more zoom to reach across the street. But I can't zoom in more from Southbound LPR camera position, if a vehicle parks along the curb next to my driveway, it would completely obscure a camera with a deeper zoom down the roadway. So far it's working... -
Mini-Review - EmpireTech LPR413-Z3
This LPR413-Z3 looks like a more specialized version of the B54IR-Z4E-S3. Both with 1/1.8 4MP image sensors and a 8-32mm optical zoom lens. What changes required a different housing? -
Digital License Plates
This looks cropped, unless you don't have a date or overlay on the image. What camera model, time of day, and weather conditions (sunny)? -
How many vehicles just don't have plates?
How frequently do you get vehicles without a plate or a motorcycle that has it mounted sideways up on a bracket that isn't clearly visible? Caught a ~2015 Jeep Wrangler (it could be an Unlimited model because of the wheels, or lots of bolt on Jeep parts) and an unknown motorcycle. Lots of these... -
1/1.8" cameras at night
Curb is way too far away, (I already"borrowed" my neighbor across the street mailbox for a reflector, to help the Northbound traffic that is on the far side). But I need something, like installing a random fence post at the street a few feet past my driveway entrance (but that would be too far... -
1/1.8" cameras at night
Seriously? I need to use IE or Edge from Microsoft? The problem is the Chrome Browser, that just seems unbelievable. Is there a desktop software to access these cameras without a browser? I use Synology Surveillance Station and it has a separate software I utilize instead of a browser (mostly... -
1/1.8" cameras at night
I can't get this camera to reliably save the setting changes, at first it would not flip to night mode until I logged into the web GUI, without touching any settings or radio buttons, just logged in and it flipped to night IR mode. And it won't stay in 24hr mode, I changed it back to 24hr last... -
1/1.8" cameras at night
Took 15x zoom, is the angle good for passing vehicles and plates? Not too steep of an angle, doesn't that effect the Infrared reflection of the angle is too aggressive? My opposing camera needs to be tilted more, it's 0° vertical and 10° horizontal, it's 15ft from passing vehicles, but with... -
1/1.8" cameras at night
New bullet camera with more zoom, time to get into the settings from scratch again. -
1/1.8" cameras at night
The very first response (post #2) told me how easy they were getting LPR results with just 1/500 Shutter Speed and default settings. That post set me on the wrong path afraid to make changes. I was very embarrassed that I had caused a problem or was failing to access the camera because all of...
