    ALPRD Broken with Ubuntu 18.04 Upgrade...

    I upgraded to UBUNTU 18.04 a couple of days ago, and my ALPRD system has not functioned since the upgrade. Has anyone else experienced this, and willing to share the fix before I dig in?

    License Plate Capture Help

    You need more IR, and less gain / shorter exposure. Night captures will show little more than the plate and headlights / taillights.
