ok_duck 0 Posted April 8, 2015 Hi lesst, can I ask you something? I qaa trying to talk to the cctv technician if he can help me to get something better that what I had now but he told me that the it is already a HD cctv camera that he sold me and kinda blame me for my old TV that why I can't get a clear picture of it. But then I tried to let him know that I'm using a mac screen to look at the video and its not any clear or HD then he said it was because I didn't open the light at my gate door that why it become low resolution. I not sure if this is right or wrong what he was saying or he just want to lie me. Lesst, can I know more about this or any advice? Much appreciate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SyconsciousAu 0 Posted April 12, 2015 I see, anyway thanks ak357. i will take note on that camera and software you mentioned. u welcome by the way here is plate extracted from pix I would love to know how you did that. It's very impressive. Have you ever used that sort of enhancement as evidence? For everyone asking how to enhance the plates this is what can be done when you dedicate a camera to the role of Number Plate Capture. No Enhancement required Buellwinkel (RIP) was doing it with a sub US$100 Hikvision bullet. It doesn't have to be expensive. Following my experiments, and what I've seen others do, Ive reached the conclusion that less that $US300 is a very realistic budget for Number plate capture setup that captures video that can be used as evidence.

trooper 0 Posted April 21, 2015 SyconsciousAu I am thinking of running a 3mp 12mm hikvision dedicated zoomed in at 12mm to capture plates day and night. Would I just turn the IR off in dark and ajust the brightness etc to capture the plates? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SyconsciousAu 0 Posted April 21, 2015 SyconsciousAu I am thinking of running a 3mp 12mm hikvision dedicated zoomed in at 12mm to capture plates day and night. Would I just turn the IR off in dark and a just the brightness etc to capture the plates? Quite the opposite. You want more IR. As much as you can get. Then you turn up your shutter speed until all you will see is the plate and the lights. The illuminator I am using at the moment cost less than $50. It is a 96 x 10mm led unit. Buellwinkel did it with only the onboard IR but he was only using 1/200 sec shutter speed which will give significant motion blur if the plates are moving at any speed. Mine is set for 1/1000 sec.

trooper 0 Posted April 22, 2015 Ok and how do you adjust shutter speed? Im running a hikvision nvr. My other cams are set at 20fps i think thats the fastest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cglaeser 0 Posted April 22, 2015 Ok and how do you adjust shutter speed? Im running a hikvision nvr. My other cams are set at 20fps i think thats the fastest Frame rate is not shutter speed. Frame rate is the number of frames per second that are recorded. Shutter speed is how fast the shutter is opened and closed. It's possible to have a high shutter speed (e.g. 1/1000 sec) and a low frame rate (e.g. 4 fps). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SyconsciousAu 0 Posted April 22, 2015 Ok and how do you adjust shutter speed? Im running a hikvision nvr. My other cams are set at 20fps i think thats the fastest Shutter speed, also known as exposure, is in the configuration menu for your camera. Depending on camera type you may be able to set a single value or a range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didnt do anything...the two photos were taken from different cameras at different angles, exposure setting etc...there was no "enhancement" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
