Firmware version: V5.7.10 build 220830
I've been really struggling with this camera, with earlier ones line crossing detection seemed to work well for me but not with this one. I want to capture a still of a vehicle entering a driveway, the vehicles naturally pause in front of an electric gate. I want to capture a still image of the vehicle's licence plate, check it against a list of authorise licence plate numbers and if it's authorised trigger a relay that opens the gate. I've documented the technical configuration on GitHub here using an AWS cloud-hosted solution GitHub - ciaran-finnegan/License-Plate-Recognition-Notifier: "License Plate Recognition Notifier" AWS Lambda function for recognising plates, sending notifications, and making calls to GSM gate opening relays, this turned out to be slow and expensive so I've moved it to a Raspberry Pi running locally (happy to share code if anyone is interested).
I've tried many combinations of settings with Line Crossing Detection (vehicle) Motion Detection (vehicle) and Intrusion Detection (vehicle) but can't seem to reliably trigger an alert in different lighting conditions (day/night) without too many false positives (each licence plate lookup uses up some of my free quota of lookups).
I've attached a few sample photos of my setup and the sort of images I've been capturing, any advice on what configuration is likely to work most consistently would be greatly appreciated!
