    How many vehicles just don't have plates?

    I’d just do it and ask for forgiveness later. Mounting to utility poles are a different animal;; the power company will eventually yank them.

    LPR Dashcam

    ^^ Here KCPD uses Genetech and as impressive as they are they have coding with the first and last characters multiplied by color of tag to process.

    How many vehicles just don't have plates?

    On a border where one state doesn’t have front plates and one most trucks registered for farm use don’t have rear plates makes it difficult. Then you have the plethora of temp tags that are 2 years expired.

    I’m not sure if anyone here sells hik. I deal with ADI, looks like their cheapest is $385 for the Model # DS-7616NI-Q2/16P

    Hikvision 16 port PoE options

    Unless you’re replacing cameras I’d stick with hik. Otherwise you’ll have to get an nvr and a switch.

    DHI-NVR4108HS8P-EI 8CH Compact 1U 8PoE 1HDD - Max HDD Size?

    Like I said I’ve thrown anything and everything into a lot of Dahua’s dvr/xvrs and nvrs since flir and digimerge became dahua and not even purples or nas rated ones. RPM and cache is all I’ve ever looked at. Percentage wise of failure vs the warranty/profit ratios is why I have stayed loyal this...

    BigRed, this one’s for you!

    We’ve never talked about it but I also for many years have noticed the supernatural ability of cats to trip alarms when much larger animals will not. A customer just sent me this tripwire alert, now I’m thinking it’s the cats tale movements like the way a snake moves that creates some “large”...

    DHI-NVR4108HS8P-EI 8CH Compact 1U 8PoE 1HDD - Max HDD Size?

    I should know, I don’t! But I have put about every model/manufacturer of drive up to 16tb and never had any problems no matter what model of dahua nvr or dvr.

    hikvision cameras lose network/reboot after I access it from app

    Maybe check phone first. Lot of cctv apps just give up if they don’t have a good WiFi or cellular connection.

    Issues on NVR access

    ^^^ The surveillance industry is full of shady fly by night people. It’s in my opinion good practice to deal with medium sized locally owned companies in any business. Too big they don’t give a shit, too small they’re gone before the warranty. Unfortunately we can’t even help you, the first...
