    Dedicated license plate camera

    I copied your settings exactly and I am getting a pitch black screen. Something isnt right. The lot is lit well with lamp poles. In your screenshots you can see the vehicles with those settings. I see nothing. When I go up with my shutter speed everything goes black.

    I guess I was adjusting under shutter priority. I had shutter priority at 1/2000 and HLC at 60. I am getting solid white glowing plates at night. I cant see the characters because its glowing so bright. Now when I go to exposure>manual and set shutter to 1/500 the entire frame is solid black. It...

    Forget my first question. I will now use B/W 24/7 and let the camera switch to night vision settings based off the sensor instead of a schedule. I still need help with adjustments for better night capture.

    Dedicated license plate camera

    Im back again. I have a few issues. I currently have the camera setup for daytime settings (color & auto) between 8am-6pm. It works good during these hours. It appears some plates were missed between 6-7pm when it switched to night settings before it was actually dark. If I chose to run in B/W...

    You were right. This camera is the choice LPR. I greatly appreciate your help and advice. As you know it will not work with Reolink. They are unwilling to make their systems compatible with others, unfortunately. It appears with this camera it wants to focus towards thaw center of the image. If...

    The camera is working incredibly. The day shots are flawless. I need to go up one night and configre for night time. I have been logging in each day and playing back cars that came through at night and then making adjustments but Im not getting much progress that way. Let me confirm, I should be...

    Looking for help setting up Reolink NVR with a camera from another brand.

    I will tryb I will try that. I feel like the NVR is capable. My Reolink cameras are running at 8MP resolution, 25fps, 6-8mbps bitrate just fine. I noticed reolink calls for 3rd party cameras to be Onvif 2.1 compliant. That version is 9 yrs old. The dahua has a new version of 20.06. Here are my...

    Looking for help setting up Reolink NVR with a camera from another brand.

    I have an RL8-410 and cant get my dahua camera to show video on the nvr. It says connecton failed even though it found it. I changed compression to H.264 on the camera, fps to 25, cbr and tried ports 8000,9000 to no avail. Any other workarounds?

    Looking for help setting up Reolink NVR with a camera from another brand.

    They also claim their systems are compatible with cameras that are ONVIF 2.1 compliant. They should not make that claim if it isnt true.

    Nevermind about the remote viewing. It must have taken awhile for the ISP to get the ports open. It is working now. Any help with getting this to work with the reolink NVR would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks a lot! I switched to IE and everything else you said and it's working flawlessly. It was Chrome causing the issue. Can you help with setting this up for remote view with dmss? I have a public up for the camera with ports forwarded but I still can't connect through the app. The ISP here...

    I was using Chrome I will try Explorer as well. No luck on getting it through to the reolink NVR either. The camera appears to run on mode A 1/2, 3/6 while reolink NVRs run on Mode B. So I did try through the router and no luck. Tomorrow I will try using port 9000 and switching to H.264 as...

    I will reduce the bitrate and I will lower the bitrate and fps, not a problem. I cannot make the substream and mainstream the same. The substream does not go to 1080p it's a much lower resolution. I do not have the camera going through a router. I have it going directly into a POE injector and...

    Dedicated license plate camera

    Allright guys I got the camera mounted and wired up today. It is wired directly into a POE injector via cat5e cable. The issue I am having is it switches to substream. It says for better performance. I deselected substream to force it to use mainstream and it lags and buffers. The Injector is...

    Need install and repair pricing guidelines

    Hello, I am a part-time installer and have been for about 7 years. I've probably installed 60+ systems over the years. I get about 80% of the installs that I quote. I am wanting to see if my prices are competitive enough and also how do installers charge for troubleshooting/repair. I know some...

    Dedicated license plate camera

    This is a great real-world example of what this camera can do. I'm convinced this is the one I will go with. Also, because the shot is 175ft in total darkness, I have added confidence that it will perform even better for me because of the ambient light on the lot. I have one question though...

    Might be cheaper to run the camera off a 12vdc adapter instead of Poe.

    Dedicated license plate camera

    That is how I figured it exactly. Two loco M5s for the wireless bridge ($49ea). I would have to come out of a breaker box on the bottom of the pole. I figured I could run my 110vac supply into a nema box that is wired up with a receptacle. Then I would actually have two separate POEs. One for...

    Dedicated license plate camera

    Well my customer sounds like they don't want to invest in what it will cost to pole mount one. So with that I am considering placing a Z12E on the building. I would only be concerned with getting plates on the right side of the 35ft span (where vehicles generally exit). According to the specs...
