Problem I am trying to solve: I am not sure why the mailbox number is extremely clear but I still cant capture the plates. Even when reviewing the video manually you cant see the plate.
Information:

Steps I've taken since:
1. I tried to put the camera back to the previous settings. Figured I messed something up but that didnt work
2. Figured I didnt remember the previous settings before so I reset the camera back to default and tried again
3. Removed and Re-added camera from blue iris
Still the same issue even after following the same video settings.
Information:
- Model of Camera EmpireTech Z12E S2 Version Smart 2MP 5mm–60mm Motorized Vari Lens, IP67,IK10, IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2 (White)
- Blue Iris codeproject AI
- First test worked -
- Second test - after making some changes. I wanted the mailbox to not get in the way so I changed some zoom. Picture is clear but license plates are blurry. You can read the numbers on my mailbox.
- Another camera on the same pole for reference of distance. Each fence post you see is 10ft so its about 80ft from the mailbox
- Picture of the camera from the camera directly
- Picture of my daytime settings
