Pulling my weight
Greetings,
Creating this tread in hope to create a cheap solution for having a nice image + capturing licence plate without having 2 cameras or an expensive one.
I need testers for various hikvision cameras. I am giving away source + compiled version in return for your feedback.
Please let me know what else would need to be changed or added as a variable inside config file.
All you need to do is update configfile with your data, run exe and trigger linecrossing on camera.(Please install .net runtime 6.0 min, in order to run app)

After testing, please comment out:
