Same here, except that it even starts out-of-focus. Manually focus, leave it for a while, come back and it's out of focus. But only when zoomed in quite a bit.Yea thats the worst part. Mine is changing focus on its own in the middle of the day without even a screen change. To the camera its a steady scene of stone and grass and road and BAM it shifts focus and stays out of focus

Do you have PTZ enabled in BI for that camera? I was inadvertently causing zoom to occur while navigating around BI until I disabled it.Same here, except that it even starts out-of-focus. Manually focus, leave it for a while, come back and it's out of focus. But only when zoomed in quite a bit.
That's a tough call, you'll probably have to force manual zoom by using adjustFocus to get past your pole. You should check it against the IPVM Camera Calculator V3. I assume you have different camera on the mailbox?guys, i was thinking of going with the Z12 to get plates cause we're getting blasted by mail thieves...you think this location will be good/acceptable? will this be a good cam for the job??...I'd need to zoom in of course..
the focus issue does seem to be putting me off...should I go for Z12e?....any alternative you might recommend?
Thanks!
Yes, I'm using a 49225 on the mailbox...it worked great for plates too, but had to choose between either of those two targets since it's the only cam i have capable to doing both those jobs currentlyThat's a tough call, you'll probably have to force manual zoom by using adjustFocus to get past your pole.

While watching someone run off with your mail can be entertaining a better solution (than LPR) is to get a locking mailbox.
This camera is crazy good for watching the license plate. Any guys in other country can watch the plate like this pic?
impressiveI'm using the free version of OpenALPR for now.
