    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    I recently found that even if you're on the correct MP for the sensor, it just doesn't always work. I struggled to get the triple lens camera to work in this location, but there just wasn't enough light, even with all of the onboard IR. I switched to a B54IR-Z4E and it was a huge difference. I...

    Replacing Reolink RLC-410/510 Cams with Empiretech Cams

    Unfortunately, the adage of "buy once, cry once" is definitely in play here. Most people start with Reolinks (because they're cheaper) only to find they are less than stellar, and then end up spending the additional money on better Dahua/Andy/HiK cams. If they would have just made the...

    Camera selections

    New plates coming to Indiana. Thoughts?

    These are the older white on blue plates we used to have. I have some work to do on my LPRs and may mess around with one to see what it does.

    New plates coming to Indiana. Thoughts?

    We have FLOCK everywhere, so I would hope they did their research. However, if they're worse, I am going to get one come November. I assume the background is flat and the white would be reflective? I wonder how that works with plate readers. I think I have an older plate that was like this, but...

    New plates coming to Indiana. Thoughts?

    Thoughts on this new offering? The comments were all about toll, speed, and FLOCK cameras.
