so how is the photo captured? blue iris capture the photo from the video feed it seems? not relying on the snapshot from the camera?

so I call up my city electric co-op and appearntly its only $1k for a connection drop to connect to the grid, but we have to get an electrician to install the meters and outlet etc.

Newbie question, is this video based or photo based? my z12 photo snapshot often miss the plate that would be avilable on the video

Yeah like half the dues are for building up a reserve to replacing asphalt walking trial and dredging the retention ponds 20+ year in the future

Internet to the camera would be additional on going monthly cost I'm trying to avoid. 2 of the 4 entrance has electric hook up. But 2 doesn't... Well 1 does but it's across a pond... Too dang far away

The problem is we have bigger fish to fry with our budget.... Changing the declaration.... Fixing up the landscaping the builder gave to us in crappy condition. Install aerator in the retention pond so we don't get nasty algae bloom... Etc...

Yeah for long term consideration it would has to be HOA control. It's also better to spread the on going cost to ensure the equipment will be maintain

That's a fall back option but at like $500 to start for a z12e + nvr + hd + accessories its a tough pill to swallow for most home owner coming from ring cameras. And hard to get the homeowner with the best view to sign up

Mostly I can work line of sight so it's not block by any house, but there will be some trees or bush in between, not a forest, maybe 2 or 3 at most and bush I can probably work with landscaper to trim them back if they are in common area.

Thanks a lot to Wade through. As for solar... Flock are primarily solar no? If we install ourselves it will all be diy anyway I'm not averted to installing a couple panels 12v lifepo4 and the bms/charger.

We are 310 houses and researching all options DIY and vendor managed (several instance of crew stealing from parked car and even 1 car stolen). hoping to pick everyone's brain here for past experience/insight Flock is everywhere but like $1700+ per cam per year thats pushing the willingness of...

Also is a GPU mandatory? what's the minimum I would need?

I don't have BI but for this I'm wiling to buy it assuming this LPR functionality is not planned to be a subscription type feature once it is out of beta? I'm assuming this won't work with a standalone dahua NVR (even if i can have a Windows/Linux server to pull the RTSP stream from the camera?)

What's the iframe set at, too short and you get these fast flicker, too high you get a big "pop" type change. Usually I think 1x FPS is ideal Lower the gain to 30 if your ir fill light is working. How are you turning that on anyway? Programmable plug switch? A build in light sensor? switch...

Why do you need a wooden bracket? May but be ideal but the combination of tilting the head up and down and... Rotating the cross frame clock wise or counter clock wise you should have the "reach" to point it anywhere, the light may end up looking at a diagonal or tilted. If you don't care...
