@thisbeJonas - you set the camera profile to full time day and then the utility will take care of it. Do not use time schedule in the camera.
You will find you have to run very fast shutters at night. So fast that the scene is nearly 100% dark until a car comes through and IR lights up the plate. I’m running 1/2000 at night. Plates really standout.awesome lots to learn about. Thanks for all the responses
Are you sure that is a Z5 and not a Z12?I have the IPC-HFW5231E-Z5 and can easily capture plates at 200ft
