Was recently asked to install a LPR for a guy and he handed me a axis p1455-le varifocal cam. I Don't have much experience with lpr let alone this crazy expensive cam, so I though to give it a try and have been tinkering with it abit over the holidays while on lockdown. So far I've used this LPR topic for some settings I've seen here on the dahua 5241E-Z12E. This is what i got so far.

cam settings at default i just got the typical glare off plates, so this is what ive adjusted so far.

I am still getting bad pics at night possibly because some plate lights are too bright??

Any recommendations on the settings would be appreciated. I still have to dial in the motion zone for night and 10 snapshot timing, as I'm getting a lot of premature/mature snapshots from the head lights so pics are either too far away to read or not in the picture yet. also getting tons of false snapshots from snow flakes when it snows . would think axis has a smart ivs intrusion or tripwire with vehicle recognition .??

Do you get good shots at night AFTER some bad shots? Sometimes my cam looses focus and they look like your two bad shots. Also, if the plates are dirty or scuffed they will not show up well. You could try upping the shutter to 1/2000 and then playing with iris and gains if needed. Most here run at 1/2000

There is an Axis video motion detection app directly on the camera itself. See the App tab, I'm pretty sure it is on by default (VMD4), you can set up motion areas, filter out temporary movement. On the system Tab, you can create an event to send email snap shots based on VMD4 settings, record to SD etc..

Actually, the datasheet states it can do what you want.
