I'm using an Amcrest IP4M-1053EW as a long range LPR. Day shots are coming out good but night tags don't look that great and are not so clear. I've tried changing the settings, adjusted the zoom and pointed the lens to 2 different locations. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's a setting or something else. Keep in mind there is usually a lot of cars parked on my street at night so it's hard to find a good spot. I've attached all my settings and also images of where the LPR is located so you can see what I'm working with. Thank you!

Those actually are not too bad - definitely readable.

I would knock sharpness down.

Try running HLC.

Not the same camera, but for reference, here are my settings for the Z12

that's decent from that distance and no additional IR. You can read the plates at night.

Not bad at all, I’d try:

cut back 3DNR to 40
Zoom a little bit more
Sharpness 45

I'm at 155 feet with only IR from the camera and no street lights
