daytime picture are as good as before

i'll let you know, do you know where i could order this 5-50mm lens online? is there other specific low lux lens?

thanks for your help rory, i really appreciate the old camera was setted like this: agc on shutter off (no more parameters) may i made a bad back focus adjustment? is there someone that could explain me hw to do this correctly? i'll made a new test tonight with the shutter @ 1/100 and auto Day/night mode, if it still unconcluant i'll try to change the lens

kindly note that the first picture concern my actual setting, the other were toke with my old configuration and are really better... concerning the lens it is same one, (1/3 5~50mm F/1.6 Aspherical Vari-Focal), with 1/250 i have a quite dark picture, the subject isn't blurred but as you can see the plate isn't recognizable...

i can't place it closer to the ground, actually the camera is 40meters far from the enter and apprx 8meters high (so i can't climb every 5 minutes to make tests...) & i'm using a 5-50mm lens (same as the older camera), i had tried with 2.5meters hight but some burglars broke it and the results were not good, as i'm a ski resort, i can't place it under the vehicule due to the snow some other things that i didn't mention: i'm using an halogen spot to highlight the plates when cars are enterring the parking, i have a short laptime to catch a clear picture (there is approx 4seconds between the entering point and the exit of the field of view, i have between 1 and 2 seconds before the car speedsup), i used to have a lot of motion blur with the old camera, i don't know if i should set the shutter to AES, Flikerless or to maintain it fixed at a certain speed, i made a test with a fixed shutter (1/250), it seems to avoid motion blur but the picture still really awfull... for curious ones, here is a link to the camera manual: http://www.burlecctv.com/pdf/LTC0495.pdf
