Hello all, 
  
I admit I'm completely new to the world of IP Cameras and CCTV in general. I installed a few Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-I for a budget motel recently as a trial to replace their existing (very old and broken) analogue system. So far things are going well, except I'm not able to get a "good" enough quality recording to identify license plates of vehicles as they enter / exit the area.  
  
I've tried changing some settings but if anything I seem to be making it worse.  
  
Here are the video settings  
 
  
And here is a still shot from the recorded video (through motion detection recording in iSpy) 
 
  
Any suggestions, advice, links to "idiots guide to IP cameras" would be greatly appreciated. 
  
Cheers
