LPR setup help

[Timokreon]

I'm stumped with this camera. For whatever reason, 8192 is the highest quality I can get.
I put this camera up today, temporary position, and it seems like the face detection and daytime license plate capture will be good. Will see how things look at night and decide whether to run color 24/7, or b&w at night.

Once/if I get this camera dialed in, I'll have enough coverage heading this direction. The only thing I might change is grabbing the 431 10-50mm ANPR for this direction.

Next I'll grab that triple lens camera for garage/driveway/mailbox coverage and decide if I want to replace the other 4k color cam, or leave things as they are for awhile. haha

From the datasheet for DH-IPC-HFW7442H-Z4-X ...



Have you tried 10240 kbps?

Yes, 8192 is the highest this goes.

Perhaps one doesn't need any higher on this camera? I took a picture of a vehicle at the t-intersection, looks pretty good. Only very minor adjustments.

Here is a night license plate capture compared to the 5241 S1 capturing in b&w.
Also, a face capture at night.

It looks like the snap shots are being captured at a faster rating than what I have the exposure set at. Something that @steve1225 alluded to in one of his posts comparing to the 5241.
Interesting...

For those curious/interested, here is what I have set up as vehicle captures, people capture, etc... views.

Picture 1 is my 437 ANPR pointing EAST. This camera grabs 90%-95% of all vehicles passing by. It misses a number of vehicles without plates (not the cams fault), and misses a number of newer ink plates.

Picture 2 is the 5241S2, not quite zoomed all the way to the 60mm. I had this color, but since getting the 7 series, I changed this to b&w at night, and made an older 5241S1 color at night. This also takes face pictures.

Picture 3 is the older 5241S1. Maybe zoomed in 3/4 of the way. I am leaving this in color 24/7. It's more of an overview camera pointing west. A few neighbors wanted me to kind of keep an eye on things down that way, hence more concerned with face pics and vehicles around the white and black mailbox.

Picture 4 is the new 7x series cam, 8-32mm, zoomed all the way. Pointing straight at the t-intersection grabbing face pictures and plate captures from straight on. Leave this color 24/7.

Each camera has its own function. I'm tempted to purchase a new 5241S2 to replace the cam from picture 3. Or possibly add another camera, the 431 ANPR 10-50mm to grab plates pointing to the west.

I would really like a series 7x cam with a 10-50mm lens, or something bigger than the 8-32mm. I don't think I can grab plates out to where picture 2 is aimed. Approximately 120 feet.
Currently the 7 series is capturing out to around 90 to 100 feet.
