    First of all, my minimum viable goal is human readable plate, ANPR capable output would be a bonus. Anyone have luck with such long distance and want to share their settings? Second, daylight is already good to go, although dawn/dusk would be hit or miss due to the challenging lighting...

    Focusing IR vs visible light.

    Shutter speed.

    So left in auto, it seems the shutter speed is so slow at night that any cars driving past is a streak, can't even tell the make/model or SUV vs Sedan. I'm using 2 starlight lite cameras 0.007/0.008 lux The street light is actually sufficient to get the camera to run in color mode up to 1/250...

    I'm using TInyCam Pro on some cheap Tablet as view monitor for my NVR, but some of them have trouble decoding multiple stream at the same time leading to frame dropping issues.
