    Need some help, so close i think

    Your focus is on the parked car plate. The cars you want to ID are a good 30+ feet closer and off at an angle. 1- Set your focus for the cars you want to get plates on, NOT the parked car 30+ feet away 2- Aim the camera more to the left 3- a bit more zoom wouldnt hurt. You're trying to...

    It’s pretty good to 10-15ft, but to minimize digital noise it still dies better with added supplemental light. Like a 500-1000 lumen battery flood
