today I bumped the day time shutter speed up to 1/1500s, got rid of a bit of blur from hella speeders.. I think the BLC had a bit to do with it but I have to have it in the day to keep the glare down.. seems to like it here without much gain in the daytime so I'll leave it.. I switch day/night profiles externally at sunset so I can have completely different settings in day than night.
attached are my current image settings, I am recording substream 24/7.. I cant record sub-stream #2 (720p) natively but I think I can if I add the feed as a generic camera, so I might just have to live with 720p 24/7 recordings and 1080p snapshots.. I am good with that, just want the video incase I happen to catch an accident or theft.. I am not storing the MJPEG thats for sure so no line cross detection unless I knock ALPRD down to 720p
Main Stream: 1080p/6fps @ Full Bitrate MJPEG - OpenALPRd
Sub Stream #1: D1 (PAL)/25fps @ Full Bitrate H264 - Live Displays
Sub Stream #2: 720p/25fps @ Full Bitrate H264 - 24/7 Recording.
Getting the focus right has been a bit tricky, oncoming plates are further away than rear end plates.. trying to find a compromise means focusing on the further ones because the bigger ones are easier to read.
I am pretty much perfect reading on all rear end plates, and pretty good accuracy (acceptable) on front end plates..
odd, the neighbor with the big problematic white mailbox just took it down.. hah, here is hoping he puts a black one up
the lens's IR correction is not that great a you can see from the pedestrian, it gets better as they get into focus but its not really a problem with plates so meh.
