This right here.
Case in point...my LPR West cam's glass lens cover has been coated with crap from my lawn sprinklers to the point that it has a quite fuzzy video. I have 'cleaned' it a number of times but it keeps coming back. Used vinegar, lemons, etc. but is no longer a clear image. I bought a new, replacement cam just before my daughter passed, but have yet to install it. Just don't have the energy yet. So right now, it is "good enough". If I go frame-by-frame I can usually pull out each digit of the plate if need be.
I agree with @wittaj about the overview cams. Every cam position needs a plan based on what your purpose of that view is. If you want an overview that might show color of car or jacket, maybe make of car or number of doors, then get the proper cam for that. Just do not expect it to give you identify quality images.
So very sorry to hear of your loss sir.

Maybe the AI will just build a new sensor with larger pixels. Bit like those self healing paints. You scratch the surface and a week later it's healed. Maybe AI CCTV will soon be the same. The sensors not sensitive enough so a week later it's built the hubble telescope.

That Reolinks Crazy. It's captured the CIA testing Adaptive Camouflage. The top halfs adapted to look like the hedge and the bottom half un-camouflaged is as plain as day. Testing success!
It's also captured robo dog, a shadow of it's former self with an led eye. White for friendly, red for kill.
Go to go, people knocking at the door....

Thank goodness I never installed a Reolink PoE Floodlight

Surely you can adjust some exposure settings and or force it into IR ? Can you even do that to a Reolink?

This was a Dahua 54PRO for anyone wondering.The purpose was to get color ID at the street. Running it in IR/B&W was even worse
I replaced it with a 5442 Z4 and while not perfect, it does exponentially better
* I’ll post a clip when I get home

The new update coming soon will magically improve the camera.

While I appreciate the humor, lets keep an open mind on the new update ... albeit I would be impressed if it can truly "fix" the "Pigpen 'Cloud of Dust'"
Good news is the assessment should be pretty quick with the the "Headless Horseman" (aka golf cart driver) on hot standby for testing.

I hadn't noticed it was the 54Pro. Might have been a bit gentler if I had, In fairness, it's the shutter & gain that are the issues there. You could reproduce that on any camera if you push the settings too far. All it shows is that it's not capable of running full colour successfully at that level of light.
There's still a need for physically large sensors & I'm still not convinced AI is the panacea manufactures believe it to be. It might useful to clean up some images intelligently, but utlimately I believe it's like HiFi. The quality you get out is ultimately dependent on the quality you feed in, and to that end, if you want real high quality in low light you need an insane quality large sensor & powerful processor allied to a quality lens. The latter has a suprisingly large effect on overall PQ quality in my opinion as ultimately it dictates what is fed to the sensor. A lower quality lens means everything else is handicapped by the initial image before it even becomes involved.
