First snapshot uses sub stream image instead of full res, and other issues

Using a Z12E for LPR. Have it set to record a clip + snapshots 1 second apart when triggered.

For some reason, my camera is using the substream feed for the first snapshot, resulting in low res image.

Any idea how to correct this?

Also, how to I reduce the amount of snapshots it takes? I only need 2-3 after the trigger, everything after that is an empty frame.

Lastly, I've been running these cameras for about a year and they almost never trigger at night. I have it set to regular motion (not smart motion) for night time and it doesn't seem to want to trigger on anything.
