Kawboy12R 0 Posted October 16, 2013 I hear you on the moving plates. My conditions were ideal as far as speed and angle went. I've never had a California plate in my driveway so I can't compare, but ours are white and highly reflective as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted October 16, 2013 I've got a bunch of license plate test clips with Hik and Dahua cams under different conditions, including front and rear plates, linked in this thread: http://www.cam-it.org/index.php?topic=4344.msg22283 I accidentally complicated things due to the Dahua's independent IR control (it only switches via the light sensor, not by software or mode), and you can see the Dahua's IR coming on and off during the Hik tests, for instance. Still, it's an interesting comparison. They're all up close with the default 4mm-ish lenses, so the IR would be much dimmer with a long lens unless you had separate illumination. This is all with a Cali plate, so it's very IR reflective and washes out quickly with lots of IR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
