Happened today shortly after i got home. My neighbor happened to see him through a window and confronted him. He was long gone by the time the cops got here.
because my wife will be home and the driveway is not wide enough for us to both pull up and her to get out of the suv . My camaro got a nice big dent in the side of it from one of my kids getting out of the suv and hitting it. I am not going to have that happen with the truck.Why are you blocking the sidewalk?
you need to reframe this camera so you have no roof/gutter in view, thats a complete waste of pixels..
also 2.8mm is a terrible lens to use on a driveway.. at night that video would have been entirely useless.. you need a 6mm minimum
Then why not park on the street and wait until wife is back? I am generally OK if someone blocks partially but this is considered an asshole parking in my neighborhoodbecause my wife will be home and the driveway is not wide enough for us to both pull up and her to get out of the suv .

Also on a side note the Sheriff's office just came back by and let me know they caught him and had him on better charges than what they might have been able to charge him with in the video.
HOA rules say i am not allowed to park in the street. Also ill be in bed by the time my wife gets home tonight. Since she does not get home till around 11pm and i have to be up early in the morning or also there are days where she is up at 4am and out of the house by the time i get up. She is a retail manager and does not have a set schedule. One day she could open next day she could close. It is what it is.Then why not park on the street and wait until wife is back?

Everytime I read one of your posts I learn something. 6mm for the driveway. Check.you need to reframe this camera so you have no roof/gutter in view, thats a complete waste of pixels..

driveways and parking areas are a prime place to use external IR or Visible Lighting and disable the onboard IR.. reflectors on cars/plates are retro-reflective.. meaning if you move the source of light just a few degrees away from the camera then you dont end up with reflectors flaring up.. depending on distance/zoom a foot or so is usually enough.. If your adding light play with it and get it as close as you can with a little margin of error before the flare up.. too far away from the camera and you get alot of shadows cast.. just a little shadow can bring out details in the face, to much will obscure detail.
reflectors are bad for autoexposure at night, the more pixels you wash out with reflectors on one end the darker some other pixels will be to compensate.. so makes some areas nosier than they normally would be.
attached example of my road parking camera with good external lighting, with onboard IR on and off.. the external lighting is just a few feet away from the camera and yet it does not cause reflector flare.. I'll be adding an external IR spotlight to this and leaving the onboard IR disabled.. so I'll end up with a more detailed image at night w/no lens flare regardless where or how anyone parks.. if I am lucky I might be able to read plates stopped at that intersection at night while retaining normal visibility.
