Two years ago we had a security camera system installed; a complete HIK Vision system, NVR - DS-9632NI-ST with 30 assorted HIK cameras.
The HIK DS-2CD4324FWD-IZHS8 cameras are pointed and recording our entrance / exit driveways.
We are a car dealership and if need be we need to be able to read license plates at any given time from these cameras. Sometimes we might get a readable view but most times they're blurry / fuzzy.
The four in question are located at different distances from the drives they cover:
1. 75 feet
2. 125 feet
3. 190 feet
4. 365 feet
I upgraded the firmware on 1,2 and 3; #3 didn't go well, it no longer connects to our NVR and I lost some of my field of view(to get it to focus, I have to change my zoom level which changes my field of view). I can't see most of the drive any longer.
Also, the only way I can connect to it is view web or SADP hooked straight to the camera network switch.
I thinking possibly that camera 1 & 2 need fine tuning because the distance isn't all that far.?? Not sure.
Cameras 3 & 4 should get replaced with something better because of distance(#4 for sure, since the firmware update).
Can anyone suggest a camera(s) that would give me good clear pics of license plates day and night(hopefully) and also integrate in our HIK NVR recording. I'll try to attach pic of our lot layout.
