Oh yeah missed the fog - I thought it was IR bounce, well it is off the fog LOL

Click on the Purple and drag your mouse across the day to define Night and do same with the Orange to define day.

Make sure they match perfect and no spaces between the purple and orange.

I think when you do that it will automatically go to Customized Scene at top? Cant recall

Lower gain to 45

Do you have AI SSA on or off? It should be off.

Now as others have posted, focus is an issue as the camera cannot see anything at this darkness.

You need to either have someone stop in the middle of the field of view so you can get a focus or temporarily make the shutter like 1/12 or something slow so you can see and manually set the focus based on what you see in the field of view, but the plate is the best option.

I’ll have to go park the car out there when it’s better weather tomorrow with no fog

The Time Plan settings? Its collapsed until you click on it, it hides. Easy to miss

Better picture at night.
Needs a few more tweaks.

 

[bigredfish]

Much better! Congrats
Now you could play with various parameters to dial it in.

I ended up buying a second camera to face the other direction. What do you think of the placement?


With it zoomed in

LPR is addictive...well cameras in general LOL

Angle might be a little tight, but if you can read them!

I would also consider to the other side of the darker utility pole for a better angle if the distance isn't too great.

 

[anonymoosed]

this is on the other side of the pole

 

[wittaj]

What is that distance? Are you at max zoom?

Probably the same distance as the other one.

 

[anonymoosed]

I’m not at max zoom

 

[wittaj]

In that case I prefer the less angle and zoom in more!

 

[bigredfish]

^^^^
This always as a rule of thumb, reduce the angle

 

[anonymoosed]

Ive reduced the angle and zoomed in. I get a pretty good field of view. Day time is capturing with no issues

Night time settings

Alright. If I’m getting a blurry plate at night what settings should I look for?

I assume you are using your other LPR settings as a starting point?

And if so, that shows how different each field of view is and each camera.

I would start with lowering NR and next would be increase shutter.

Yes same baseline from the other camera. This is the current settings.
