If it was placed different and zoomed in more I'm sure there would be no problem getting plates at night.. it's just I have no interest to try
That's true, I really could care less.. I just wanted to see if it was possible with this camera, took a lot of testing and fine tuning to get as good as it is.. I'm just leaving it at this spot because the upper siding on my home is black, the cameras also being black blends in perfect, I haven't seen anyone look at them yet and there is a sidewalk right beside that fence with over 100 ppl a day walking by..
Mind you, I have completely maxed out this camera as you can probably tell by the pictures of my settings, but believe it or not, the camera has held up perfectly, smooth as butter.. no jidder.. space and resources is not an issue, I have 9 of these cameras all maxed out.
My footage at night is kinda dark, but I can still make out people no problem, and even the make of cars passing.
I'm looking for a camera that can do both. I have lanterns at the position.
I know the fence is really hurting it.. it was even worse when it was bouncing off the house vinyl siding.. but sometimes you win some or lose some lol .. I can't be picky, as long as I can identify things at night, and my tripwires are working properly, I'm ok with it..

I don't have a lot of experience to recommend a camera, but I'm sure there is lots of people that will reply to you.
Isn't the bracket supposed to be not so good? At least that's what I read in the forum. Could you run them in color?The 54IR (5442)

The street there is so narrow that the camera only has a small distance to the people walking past.That is true that the bracket isn't the best now for the fixed lens as it is a tab instead of a screw.
Any camera can be ran in color with enough light. For the most part the only difference between a full color camera and an infrared camera is what kind of light is built-in - either white light or infrared LEDs, but some are coming with both. But the disadvantage to the to full color cameras is that if someone doesn't have enough white light, they cannot add infrared later as the camera doesn't see it.
If it is for a doorway, this would be another good alternative.
