IR isnt being recognized. Im betting on a stuck IR filter at this point.... try switching it back and forth from color to B&W with the Day/Nightr setting a bunch of times, if that doesnt get it try a slap or two..

I have added a 15 degree IR led lamp to help. It is still not enough, but it helps.

I'll check those out. I played with the image brightness/contrast a bit and I guess I can make out most if not all of the plates in those last two pics. Trial and error I guess, I can't expect it to be perfect the first day.

Do you see all the IR LEDs that are on?

Do you see all the IR LEDs that are on?

I see 4, one at each corner. Pretty bright too...

 

[tibimakai]

So they work. Some setting is not right then. Couldn't you use somebody else's settings, from this forum and see, if yours will look like that?

 

[bigredfish]

Progress!

 

[bigredfish]

Id park my car at the capture point and make it easier to see your changes

 

[Fubduck]

Totally get that but the black picture I attached in the first post are a cars headlights and you can barely see them.

There are some LED headlights that do not show up very well when seen through the IP filter of these cameras.

I received my IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 yesterday and have it up and running but I'd like help fine-tuning the details. This would be the permanent location for the mount. According to IPVM, it's about 100 feet to where I'm recording.

I've attached my Day settings, along with a few snaps. First, I'd like to get the daytime settings refined, and then worry about nighttime. Seems like that's a good place to start, right?

What can I do to improve? Thanks.

 

[bigredfish]

Daytime you can drop back to 1/1000
Turn DNR down to 30-40
Up the Contrast a bunch
Then play with the iris setting and find the sweet spot for that. Try 40

 

[tibimakai]

What the iris does? Sorry for the noob question.

 

[bigredfish]

It determines how much light is let in

Thanks for that. Now I know.

Ok, some updated shots with the settings recommend by bigredfish. It seems like some grabs are great, while a few others are not so great. But really I think things are looking good for day #1 of trying this out.

 

[bigredfish]

Getting there, try more zoom, cut that fov by 1/2

what bitrate and FPS are you running? Try 8192 CBR and 30 fps. Iframe same as FPS

 

[JacobBrooks]

Thanks bigredfish. I zoomed in a bit, and changed my bitrate and FPS to your suggestions. I'll report back with some snaps when I get new ones.

Forgot to ask, you’re not running WDR are you? It makes for pretty pictures but doesn’t help with fast moving plates.

No, I have those settings selected "off". Is that the right choice?
