    Support Needed – Hikvision CCTV Network Issue

    I'm not an expert, but that sounds quite unusual. You said 'some cameras' lose their network connection when it goes to generator, but work fine when operating normally. So some are staying up working? Are all the cameras ran back to the same network switch or are they routed to different areas...

    Suggestions for camera pole installation, power to NEMA box?

    I'm beginning to see the end of the road on our camera upgrade project that we've been working on and I've been wanting to install a camera in a remote parking lot on our campus. I thought we might could try to source a 9-10ft 4x4 post that we can anchor into a concrete pad, run power in the...

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    I'm not sure about the pulsed white light or how I'd be able to make that work. Not sure I'm quite that savvy. Not be worried about blinding somebody driving down the road? The IR blaster is definately something I could check into and see about getting one to try. Do you think more IR would be...

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Yes, I would say the camera is at almost max zoom. I didn't want to capture plates at too much of an angle, so I tried to straighten it out more down the roadway so it could have a more straight-line shot.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    I attached some pictures in my previous post, but I would say the plates are about 120ft from the camera itself. Not ideal by any means I know, but unfortunately was limited in where we could put them, but I also know that unfortunately can tie hands on trying to get the IR issue effectively...

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Here's some examples of what we've been getting trying to tinker with different settings with varying degrees off success. As far as doing it in color though, success is very spotty and the majority of the time at night our ANPR does not get a read on the plate even though we can almost always...

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    We can bump the resolution down to 1080p. Would that make any difference as far as what you're saying or is it still because of the internal lens itself being a 5mp with the 1/2.8" sensor still the issue.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    We purchased an ANPR camera from Digital Watchdog - DWC-XSBA05MiL. But yall make a good point about the lens needing to be able to 'see' it. I saw where Flock had made comments that they some how 'trained' their cameras to be able to identify the new plates from Tennessee. I wonder if this is...

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Thanks. I just got to looking and realized that you don't seem to be able to buy an actual 730nm IR blaster :(. Unfortunately I already have 3 LPR cameras we purchased, about $2k each and didn't realize that they didn't like Tennessee's license plates.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Thank you! The 730nm IR is what I was looking for. I had seen some discussions about the different IR types but wasn't what had been confirmed. Ill check out the 730nm and see about making an investment for those.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I wanted to inquire here if anybody had found a confirmed solution to addressing the IR issue with some LPR cameras picking up the 3M printed license plates, like Tennessee. I saw comments about different IR wavelengths being a potential reason, but...

    Dual sensor camera for overview and LPR?

    I apologize if this question has been asked before, I did try to look and found one thread here that seemed to discuss multisensor cameras and LPR but didn't seem to find a specific answer. I think the camera mentioned with a Hikvision camera which we don't purchase anymore due to NDAA...

    Did I do an okay job on this install?

    This is an internal project and I'm certainly no professional, but I thought I'd put these few pics on here for critique. I feel like I did a decent job looking at some of the examples on here and many of the "what not to do" forum posts, but I know there's always room for improvement. Whats...

    Uniview Unicorn VMS?

    Haha! Our 4k, 4mp and 2mp cameras would be so spectacular with those bitrates and framerates. Be like trying to look at cameras through a potato. Might as well downgrade to analog, at least it'd be better quality at that rate :P

    Uniview Unicorn VMS?

    Ah you're right. I see that now on Nelly Security's datasheet. In all reality then, your camera number is likely going to be limited to that 512Mbp. I do know enough to know that with 512Mbps, in no way could it support as many cameras as it's claiming going directly into the Unicorn. I'm...
