    OpenALPR - No more free rides

    I was wondering why I was getting notifications coming through via text that I had set up when I started. I agree. I was happy to see this. I didn't notice that it got the car make and model right anyway. But this price is right about the most I'd pay for the convenience. I'm happy to hear...

    OPENALPR - Cloud config question..

    I have Dahua camera too. It's shocking how good it is during the day for getting the tag but comes dusk and then until the sun is up in the morning about 9am I get nothing either. Even under a streetlight on "auto focus".

    OPENALPR - Cloud config question..

    @mech do you think that having the cameras inside and through the glass at night affects the ability to catch license plates? I'm debating on putting mine outside. What illuminator are you using outside?

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    I understand what you are saying. I am using this for LPR with ALPR. I was showing you a similar resolution to what works with ALPR. The recommended highest resolution is 1080p. In this case, 1920*1080. That is where the issue comes in. At the high resolution, the camera is capable of, 3840 x...

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    This is the camera IPC-HFW1831E OK, that is how I set the camera up. I'll get a camera image and send it. I don't want to waste more time or lose the opportunity to return the other camera I haven't used yet. It seems everyone is using the zoom but not to exceed 80%.

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    OK I was hoping that would work since the software doesn't capture cars going by I don't have a video of a car going by. I have been testing this before setting up purchasing blue iris to make sure I have the right camera. I have been testing all the settings described on this forum and through...

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    OK I'll see what I can do as I'm not getting anything to show. I can send the shot of the street. I have been tweaking all the settings and running ALPR for a week and haven't caught a license plate day or night. I thought I need to zoom into the area as a basic need for ALPR and LPR. Are...

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    @bigredfish you can focus your camera? I can set the camera at 35' away and less than 30 degrees angle. But not focus in on the area. My lens is a wide-angle and fixed as suggested. Do you suggest an ability to focus to be important? It makes sense to me as I'm getting a wide angle of moving...

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    I got two of the cameras suggested by @bp2008 . I set one up to test at a 30 degree angle and 30' away from the where the cars drive by. Except I can't see the plates. I searched this forum and didn't see settings from others capturing tags with this camera IPC-HFW1831E 4MM Lens IP Camera 8MP...

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    Thanks @bigredfish I meant to point to where the cameras will go. Not the angle of the camera. How about I point them as you suggested these cameras in each direction? 4mm lens: http://amzn.com/B07FP5HHSQ I like the idea of setting them at 30 degrees horizontal and measuring to that if...

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    Yes - the city does not maintain the space. I hope to hear back from someone to confirm this is the best set up for me. I'll update and let you know depending on the best configuration.

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    Thanks, bp2008! Good to know. I attached a satellite photo as recommended. As you can see I am thinking of putting them right next to the street beside two trees, not in the photo. If that camera is better I appreciate the info. I want the best shot I can. I do want to catch the plates...

    Two IPC-HDW2231R-ZS for LPR?

    Hi Everyone, Will these cameras work for me for LPR? I have an area between the sidewalk and the road where I would like to add two of these cameras in stealth mode inside two large PVC pipes with holes cut out for catching license plates from either direction going down the road. The speed...
