    LPR Software

    I've tried all kinds of zone configurations, so far, this is the best I've figured out for daytime, of course, the same zones don't work for night time though... I'm open to suggestions if you have a better idea for triggering the snapshot. Here are clips of the traffic each direction:

    LPR - Night time

    I've created another thread for the next piece of this puzzle that I'm trying to figure out... which AI Plate Recognizer for ALPR is best... I've included a bunch of captured images and zone setup's and since it's more or less a new topic, I figured it would be best to start a new thread... but...

    LPR Software

    What is everyone doing for their LPR capture software? Right now, I'm using Blue Iris with platerecognizer.com as the Plate Recognizer for ALPR, but it has some limits. Namely, it only seems to capture 1 snapshot from an approaching vehicle, so you have to activate it at just the right time...

    LPR - Night time

    GOT IT! Turns out I must have had my zone cutting out too much, I zoned the whole frame and it captured it... I'll redo the zone tomorrow during daylight... but we are in business now both directions! Thanks for your help dialing it in!!! Here is a freeze frame from in motion to the left @...

    LPR - Night time

    Very good... have those settings turned off now... now just to wait for another car to drive by! lol Thank you for the help! On the stop sign, unfortunately, no, I need that in the frame for the second duty of this cam... people running the stop during the day. I do have it excluded from the...

    LPR - Night time

    Thanks! With your settings I'm getting great reads... only 1 problem... on the right (cam2) side, it pics up the motion just fine and triggers the recording... on the left side, with the same trigger settings and zone type config, etc, it's not triggering the recording... but is picking up the...

    LPR - Night time

    Got the cameras from Andy (Thank you Empire!) - got them installed... it's CRAZY how much light these things pick up... right now it's 9pm, is pretty dark outside to the eye... and this is what my 2 new cams are seeing (I'm impressed): It just auto-switched to night b&w as I was typing...

    LPR - Night time

    I decided to go with the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E - and after speaking with Andy @EMPIRETECANDY I decided to get the 2 cams from him. I trust all of your recommendations and Andy clearly comes highly recommended. Thank you to each of you who took the time to participate in this thread. I appreciate...

    LPR - Night time

    Yes... but on the left side, I'm thinking that the stop sign would be a great place to target the capture zone, which is about 75-100 feet ish from the mailbox.

    LPR - Night time

    During the daytime, my current system works fine... but it sucks at night, which is why I need different cams.

    LPR - Night time

    LOL - very true... but also is true that I'm already $2500 over budget on the project - which started as "Honey, I want to put up our old security cam system from our old house on our new one, I already have everything I need" ... 3,000 feet of outdoor rated cat 6 wire, out door rated channel...

    Good point - but since I need 2 of them, it's almost $100 difference :( - and there is a statement on the page "DAHUA original firmware, Upgradable,2 year guarantee"

    LPR - Night time

    ok... so clearly the three main choices for me are: 1) IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E - $206 (PAL or NTSC) -or- $255.10 if I get it from Andy's store on here - which I believe is the NTSC version. Pros: A) 5.3 mm - 64mm motorized lens (Left of the mailbox, about 70-100 feet is a stop sign that cars are...

    My personality is more like the house mailbox pic you put up, unfortunately it wouldn't fit in too well in this neighborhood. This is my house. And my house is the smallest in this neighborhood at only 5,000 sq. Feet

    LPR - Night time

    EVENTUALLY I will be encasing the cameras in a brick mailbox pillar/post and won't have to worry about them being "secure" - but for now (and realistically for at least several months) I will have to mount them to my regular old wooden post. Eventually, they will be in brick box similar to this...

    LPR - Night time

    LOL love the pic! :) - yea, I know the bullets are a bit big, but in part I figure that isn't such a bad thing... ("smile, your on camera") - meaning I think there are some advantages to people seeing that they are clearly being recorded. Plus, unfortunately the turret cams won't work for how I...

    LPR - Night time

    Thank you for your input. For the record though, I'm not looking to "go cheap" simply because I don't want to spend $ - I'm just thinking that I don't need the features of an $800 LPR camera because I'm not mounting it 75 feet away from the street and because they are going to be mounted at walk...

    Thank you for your input. I've been looking into the cam that you suggested and another one that keeps popping up in that search... the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E I appreciate your help! Thank you.

    LPR - Night time

    I have added security cameras to my mailbox in hopes to capture better video of cars & license plates of vehicles going through our neighborhood. We have had a series of thefts lately, etc, so I'm doing what I can to help make the neighborhood safer... or at least to be able to aid in the...
