Welcome to the forum...It will not help without proper camera settings...you need to properly set the camera to capture plates and dedicate it to that purpose..it wont capture anything else...search the forum for LPR and license plate.
Cheers Fender. I've been a bit of a trawler, reading through lots of posts. I've got 4 x Dahua 1.3MP's at the moment on BlueIris. Recently had a break in on my street and the footage wasn't very useful I'll do a search.
