I’ve added Tendelux 120ft IR Illuminator to my HFW5241E-Z12E LPR setup and I’m hoping to get the most out of it. I bought it because my LPR target area is poorly lit from 930pm till 3am. This Tendelux has a 90º view and is $29.98 at Amazon. It sits 70ft from the target area at a 40º angle while the Z12 is 80ft @ a 35º angle.
My nighttime settings are Exposure 1/1000 with Gain 50. Iris 100, Smart IR Off, 3DNR on with a Grade of 30. HLC is 50 with Night B/W, Focus and Zoom @ Manual and IR Illuminator Near and Far @ 100.
I like to follow best practices so I’m trying to avoid camera settings that work against the Tendelux device vs with it.
For example, should the Z12E IR remain off and should the Z12E Illuminator setting still be 100? Should I up the exposure to 1/2000 or reduce the Gain to better utilize the Tendelux beam? Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.
