Nice. Is it possible that the last pic, marked halogen, has no front plate? I have found that front plates are a bitch to get sometimes, especially if there is no front plate on the car.
Also you may try more zoom.

I think this one did, because I caught it when it got closer to my house, but yes not having plates at all sucks, since I don't have another one pointed the opposite direction. I am also at like 93% zoom, and can't go any farther without missing cars width wise across the road. It is fine when someone is parked on the side to force them into the middle, but when nobody is there, they skirt my scene. I honestly wish the road to the left just didn't exist, and then I could put my scene right in front of my house. However, I noticed when I started this process, that a lot of the cars go down that road, instead of continuing on towards my house, so chose that intersection instead. Unfortunately, it is 250 feet away, and at the limits of this camera for night shots.Nice. Is it possible that the last pic, marked halogen, has no front plate?

I know this post is a bit old but are these the settings you are using to keep it in permanent B/W? How is it working out for you? If you have updated your settings, can you share them now? I just got the Z12E and so far I am struggling to get it dialed in.You can make a range of Shutter speed if you want. Esp. if you use just a DAY or NIGHT setting in the Camera webUI. If you choose both you might want to make a range of Gain.....for twilight, sunset and NIGHT and daybreak lighting changes.

I think you use nvr's right? Do you also use BI with any AI? I thought it was important to match main and sub stream ifram/fps. Your main is 30fps and sub 15.My settings

Thank you. So you have good luck with the auto focus? I see a lot of people setting up a fixed manual focus. Any issues with it focusing at night?My settings

My LPR cam is not a Z12 its a Bullet 5442 Z4....I know this post is a bit old but are these the settings you are using to keep it in permanent B/W? How is it working out for you?

Yeah, the difference is unlike many here, I've always used the 'Schedule" profile. I have the camera switch to night/B&W about 45 minutes BEFORE sunset so there's plenty of light for it to get a good fine focus. Once it does, it stays put until the next switch in morning, 45 minutes AFTER sunrise back to color.Thank you. So you have good luck with the auto focus?

So, do you manually pull LP #'s after a detection? I got a Dahua AI NVR from Andy couple of years ago that has ANPR but only if it comes from the camera. 5 of 9 cams didn't have AI so the nvr allows ivs rules for them.I use an NVR and not BI. I do use Dahua AI on all of my cameras.
I have always matched iframe to FPS on main, I have never matched my substream to my main. No problems at all. I think with BI you guys use substream for various things? My substream is really only used as intended, for low bandwidth purposes like streaming to a phone, or multiple live view like on SmartPSS, but when I download video its always the main stream
