Its been a while so I drove down the street to take a look
(You can't hit the cameras through the PoE NVR interface from outside of the network, so I drive down to the NVR and log in via WiFi)

So daytime settings are pretty easy on most decent 2MP+ cameras.
Daytime on both: Exposure Auto, DNR 25, WDR 20 (just a little WDR goes a long way)

Night gets trickier. Remember when forcing color at night, differences in ambient light, speed of vehicles, can make a huge difference so your mileage may vary.
Ive played with a number of settings, mostly around Exp 1/30 and DNR at 50, NO WDR at night, creates blur.
Tonight I'm experimenting with the settings shown. Not that big a difference really...Both use a backlight setting of HLC= 60 or 70
