IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E focus question

[Flintstone61]

Once you get night plates. leave the camera in Night mode forever. 1 Job. 1 setting. 1 Cam.
Flipping back and forth on my 5241 puts the focus in jeopardy at night, on a system with nobody home.
It just has to work independently and flip flopping day/night compromises the hard fought ideal settings for Night time.

Heres a reflector I used on a distant telephone pole to help Dial-In my settings. I even managed to get a Paper temp plate.

Try auto focus for a minute. and then adjust a little bit from there,

Thats a really tough angle on your video. but i'd say more zoom for starters.

Post #3 has my zoom settings. It’s about at max.
