Installed a new 4K hikvision Camera 2 days ago and already captured the Council Recycle lorry doing damage to our next door neighbours car. These are ALWAYS doing damage and they damaged our car a few months back with £600 worth of damage.

Nothing interesting just traffic. Mine is the 2.8mm lens and really wanted the 4mm lens but I will buy one of those when in stock and put this one in my rear yard.
So far I am really Impressed with the quality Day & Night even when you set the shutter to 1/20th Sec No blur Very Impressive indeed and by far the best cam I have owned to date.

 
with the hik's, setting exposure to 1/20th will actually use shorter exposure (1/100 or 1/200 or even less) if there's enough light, which explains why little/no motion blur. would be interesting to see at what setting it makes a difference (scene gets darker when it hits/surpasses the limit). my guess is it's around 1/500 or 1/750 or even 1/1000 for that cam and your street lighting...
 
That truck looks just a "tad" too big to maneuver in those narrow streets. Kind of like a blivit if you know what I mean.
 
I totally agree and this is the 3rd time now I have caught that truck damaging cars in my street and hate to think what other cars have been damaged in his 8hr shift.

I've not really had time to mess with the settings yet so basically default as you can see in the day Pic a little to bright and blown out but I will sort that over the next few days.
 
yes, you seem to have plenty of street lighting available, tho the white LED's might be useful for ID'ing people as they come into your fenced-in area, (if you don't already have lighting along side or behind the cam, that we can't see...)

Geez, those would be decently sized streets if parking wasn't allowed on the curb, or at least not on both sides. But you have cars on both sides. I think it is amazing if that doesn't happen several times a day.
 
I'm very lucky to have a LED street light in front of my house but to be fair the LED Street Lights are not that bright and pretty dark outside in real life.
I have 3 camera's on the front because it gets pretty busy especially when the Chinese Chippy is open. The local council propose a 1 way all around which IMHO will be better.

unless you have other cams to capture people comiong into your area, the important thing would be if can ID someone coming in thru the gate, or walking along the sidewalk...
 
I have Face Capture set up on this camera and works very well for people who come past the gate. Anything past the gate it will not capture I would need a 4mm or 6mm lens for that.
