Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

From experience, what do you think the maximum useable distance is for Identification for a Z4E? I have 3 of them here and have a few locations (front and side) that are between 50 and 60 feet to the middle of the road (yes, I verified with Google on the distances) that I'd like supplement other cams to use for identification purposes. Should be ok, yes?
 
I am at 65-66' with where I am using mine and they are giving ID. I would think you could go a little further, even. If you're between 50-60', I think you're good.

Attached is a Google sat image of our property with current overview cam locations. Any suggestions on Z4E locations?

I am not understanding one thing: can the cameras move left and right away from the wide view camera?

The information out there is not clear. The video by Andy on Youtube shows left and right arrows, and @wittaj mentioned here there is some micro adjustment from remote. But chatgpt insists that there is no left righ adjustment.

I am trying to find a single solution to (1) boost the IR towards the street to help my Z12 camera do better LPR at night (long arrow below), and (2) see people in my driveway (short arrow below). How much freedom is for moving the cameras left and right if I point to the LPR direction?

All three lenses move in parallel up and down some from within the GUI.

Left and right is manual adjusting of the direction the camera points.

But the 3 lens do not move independently of each other so likely your drawing wouldn't work unless the wide angle caught the driveway in a peripheral view.
