LPR setup help

Ok, got the new cable set up and hooked up. But now, of course, the camera isn't being found on my NVR. I've had this problem before, but I don't recall how I solved it.
It doesn't come up automatically. Tried search device without luck. I could have sworn I saw it show up under camera list, but then it was gone.. so not 100% sure.

I'll have to double check the cable to ensure it's ok, but anything else to check?
 
Disregard that last post. Sheeze.. What happened was when I tucked the cable into the soffit better, the cable disconnected. Then when I went to trouble shoot the NVR, I disconnected the cable to check the fitting, phone rang, when I came back I connected the wrong cable in and yeah... fun. lol...

Figured it all out. Though my aiming, I forgot to bring my phone to the ladder, was way off. Adjustments tomorrow. I'm done for the day. :)

Looks like there is a good chance of getting color 24/7. Ignore the fact I misjudged the angle without my phone. lol
Anyone with suggested settings/tips on this cam? There are so many options. whooo

:)

Finally got the angle and installation mostly done. Still need to go back and waterproof the opening, tuck in the cable, etc...

Note to self, and anyone else: When installing the junction box, point the FRONT towards the area you want the camera to capture. Having the camera at an angle like I do interferes with up/down adjustment, etc..

I really wish Dahua would include better screws with these cameras. Pay the extra $1.00 for good screws vs what you have now.

Now time to dial things in. Not really understanding the lanes drawings, etc..for plate capturing yet. But, time to experiment.

First shot for night color captures. Hoping to get better with more dialing in, and hopefully the city replaces this street lamp with a brighter one... they've stated for 3 months they were going to.
Otherwise may go IR at night until the lamp change.

Not a bad start.

I've found that the amount of light REALLY needed to run color at night with close or zoomed objects far exceeds most peoples idea of a lot of light.
It takes a metric shitload*

*Actually I may be wrong on my measurement, @samplenhold has a chart somewhere ... :rofl:
