@EMPIRETECANDY What all camera models are available in black?

I did run a default on update. This release also removed ICR Profile change.

This release also removes SmartPrio support for the IR lights. The firmware also references the wrong swf file for the video player, so it certainly will not work in any browser.

Evening folks, I was wondering if anyone has had to deal with old plates that have very very reduced reflective coating left on them, and usually little to no plate illumination via lights. I am trying to guess if more IR on the target will actually improve readability/reflected light or not...

There is some previous talk about this. Alarm I/O LED Floodlight Probably easier to relocate the motion sensor, since you would need to have that that full current switch in your setup somewhere anyways. You would also have to account for the trip times on the alarm not usually being...

Not sure where you live, but if you have a Graybar Electrical Supply, Datacomm & Industrial Equipment nearby then you can get it by the roll, with reasonable pricing. You are probably not going to find plant/direct burial cable in colors other than black most likely, if you do I would be pretty...

@richardgohth So your thought process was right. I was using a low constant bitrate at the time, which provided me the best consistency for video to be viewable. Pixelation was only happening late in the crossing of the vehicle, which happened to coordinate with the plate being on screen...

I found that the AP Pro provides better coverage area than the UA-Mesh indoors, they are completely interchangeable on Unifi so you could just add one to the mix. That being said, if you want more consistent coverage I would add APs. Get them in the house and out of the attic(ie ceiling mount)...

Good point @bug99 I didn't even think about how hard it would be to get that lined up.

Was hoping someone could suggest a solution for a 30x zoom non-PTZ camera. I have a feeling my best bet is going to just be a box cam, but I am not savvy on lense or housing options with regards to brands and what not. Looking for near identification resolution at 300m with starlight quality...

That thing is big, coyowolf?

I will try with 3D off, backlight is already off. I do have Contrast and Sharpness at 55. Shutter 1/2000, Gain 10-55, Iris 25. I have gone through that guide. At my angle the critical setting is shutter speed from what I can tell. Noise correction is a destroyer of plates for certain. How...

I am running on 25 3D and 10 on framerate. I will try backing it of slightly. The network itself is pretty dropy packet wise, with a long range wireless bridge, waiting on a directional to try and clean that up.

So I have a weird anomaly, and I am kinda stumped. I have this one car that my LPR captures regularly, and only this one car captures with extreme digitization on the image. It is a very beat up Toyota Van. See for yourself I am at a loss as to why only this one car out of dozens is always...

To me. Sounds like 2 shots inside something, vehicle maybe, then a car crash of some kind then the 5 follow on shots. What are you using to record on the mini-PC?

Once again, I agree with you. Not sure where all the hate is coming from. I didn't imply that SS was more or less secure. Only that the ecosystem and usability may be valuable to laymen users. Was just sharing that I am happy with my solution, and the OP was asking for input.

/s Obviously. I was referring to the ease of use for a ecosystem type solution, as opposed to a self directed and managed solution, which usually results in less tinkering. I appreciate your idealism, and agree that a correctly self managed and implemented server is the most secure, but for...

Even with the limitations, the Synology Security Station has still beatin out other software options for me. Getting the benefit of a NAS and a server with the setup is a big plus, such as the NAS being able to run docker, a VPN, and a NTP. Setup is exponentially simpler than milestone...

+1 for UBNT wireless bridge. If you have LOS. You could also bury Coax with some network links on the ends, cheaper than fiber. Actiontec Ethernet over Coax Adapter Kit for Homes without MoCA Routers I have had extremely solid reliability out of the UBNT wireless bridge, and I too am a...

Key! Then get the "attempted" burglary on video. Of Course don't mention you supplied the key.

That was multiple weapons. One firing first, with a second joining at a different caliber or orientation from your mic. Agree they are absolutely semi-auto. Round count was over 20 so more likely to be dual weapons vice a 20+ capacity weapon.

EZ RJ45 by Platinum Tools. The Pro crimps are some of the best I have used. Stripper, clipper, second flat stripper, Type A and B wiring guide right on the tool, and 2 crimps. Pushing the wires all the way through the connector, is easily twice as fast, and I have put on 200+ with no...

Was thinking that the SSDP could be triggering the capabilities discovery tool(ONVIF/WS-Discovery) on the cameras, which if they were running CPU heavy on there config would get you in a timeout loop on the Sonia server, by just running out of resources. I have used some DAHUA camera that are...

I am using a US-8-150 and did try setting to passive 24V. Controller does not show POE on the port when the camera in question is used. Very short manufactured cable, tried a couple. The duplicate camera and numerous others work fine on the same port and cable. Tried multiple cables, ports...

I have 2 4231EM-AS. I also have a 150w Ubiquiti poe switch. One camera when plugged into the Ubiquiti switch will power up and work fine, while the other identical camera will not power up on the ubiquiti switch. Same cable and port, one camera plugged in at a time. It gets weird when I...

Color video is always better than IR. If you are concerned about vehicle color or other in color details you could focus a camera away from the guard house to capture when the vehicle is under the street light by the highway. As for the License plate, it would be ideal to configure a camera...

Would also mention that you want the cameras to be near the same plane as the thing you want to capture. So something targeting a license plate would ideally be down at that level looking horizontally. The diagonal angles down from a roof will generally make it harder to get clear images...

@KCulver What is the ideal capture? Drivers face or the license plate or both? Second question would be how close can you mount the cameras to the traffic? If you can get the cameras physically close to the vehicles you can use much cheaper cameras, as for the LPR nayr has a good...

I might not be right, but pictures 1 and 4 look more like light surface reflection from the walls/window than dome. Also, if you have a dome oriented very tight to one side, so that the IRs are occulded by the frame, this same kind of reflection fogging can happen. I would pull them...
