Night LPR settings - some are too bright, some are fine

[alwaysoff]

My settings:




This one was perfect:


These two were too bright



What can I do to make them both legible?

Iris is way too high
I don’t run my gain like that but whatever
Try HLC at 75

What that rather large red fish guy said.

My two night LPR cams settings below:

Yep above. Yours appear to be more straight on, so better not to range the gain because it could brighten it too much. Find a single number to rest on like 60-60 or something.

But it is a compromise, we won't get every plate, but try to balance it to get most of them.

The visible light(license plate light) is washing things out. You need to tweak exposure for ir light. ​

​

try a locked 35 or 30 gain, lower shutter to 1/1000​

​

May need to lower the exposure comp too​

Yes turn down the gain, up on the HLC
I run gain at 43 on one and at 51 on the other.
