You are going to need more zoom, especially at night, and dial it on for plates with a fast shutter and at night all you will see are the plates and head/tail lights.

@sunny0101786 Take a closer look at the example alert screenshot in the readme. I think it’s because you are missing “x-api-key”

At night 1/2000 shutter and gain no higher than 50. Image will be completely black.

The readme is the document that is displayed if you scroll down slightly. It has the directions for how to install.

4ms is too slow. Make it a fixed shutter of 1/2000

Yeah, you need a lot more zoom. Try zooming in so that the frame is like this:

You should also get your day time reads working pretty well before even trying to make night time reads work.

Why does the live video feed in BI keep freezing, sometimes for more than 4–5 seconds? I tried changing the FPS settings to 15, 20, 25, and 30 in both the camera GUI and BI camera settings, but nothing fixes the issue. I'm using a wired connection to my PC, which has a Ryzen 9 5950X, 128GB RAM, and an M.2 SSD. What am I missing?

this is the max it can go

Try creating a clone of the camera and in the clone create an Area of interest (AOI) like the below image. Then use the clone just for ALPR.

 

[sunny0101786]

It's still not picking up any plates.

The checkmark in AOI is not saving. Every time I revisit the option, it stays unchecked.

Are your plates being captured in BI?

I took a snapshot from a BI alert video by freezing the best frame.
