FYI I had a lot of trouble getting this to work. Somehow I followed the link to download the windows CPU version and got a super old, activation-required version. Burnt 2 hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Solution - download the latest DeepStack windows binary from Releases ·...

thanks @samplenhold for taking the time to walk me through the thought process. I'm also going to replace some of my 5+ year old bullet cams in the front and back so I'll take your advice and order a few models to play around with. Some with a little more "reach" than others and just figure...

Thanks for the help everyone. So with the camera position being so close to the road, does it make sense to get the less-zoomy IPC-HFW5442E-Z4E?

daytime sure. Night time no way - the headlights completely blow everything out, even with high, constant shutter speeds. Here was the view at night:

Absolutely. I already wired up a small bullet cam under there (with a radar detector for speed!) and live-tweeted pictures of speeders overlayed with speed. Unfortunately hikvision camera I used was terrible at night, even with tweaking all the settings. And I accidentally hit the cat6 cable...

So when I look at these two cameras, would the Z4E be the better in low-light LPR applications? Better WDR, higher resolution at faster FPS? Or should I just get the Z12E like everyone suggests, even though it has a lower WDR? IPC-HFW5442E-Z4E 4MP IR Vari-focal Bullet WizMind Network Camera...

Seems like the zoom will more than make up for having a smaller sensor size. Here's where the cam will go, along with a car and human for scale. The street is pitch black at night. Speeds are 25mph or lower.

I'm going to hide a camera on my mailbox specifically dedicated to LPR. What is the current recommendation? Seems like everyone pushes for the Dahua HFW5241E-Z12E but I was wondering if there was anything newer, with a bigger sensor that performs better? The camera doesn't need a ton of zoom...
