ashfaqad 0 Posted February 2, 2017 Hi, Dear members , I bought an HIK NVR DS-7608NI-E1 with Two HIK Cameras 3MP(DS-2CD2032F-1). It can't read the Car No Plates from a distance of 55 Feet . Is this normal or do need to configure the NVR , the resolution currently is at HD1080P. The vendor advised to get PTZ camera for Number Plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattaggie 0 Posted February 2, 2017 Lots of factors go into reading a plate. Its never as easy to get a plate number as most people think. Angle of camera to car, speed of car, lighting, shadows, etc all play a role. If you have a precise area where plates pass through, say a driveway, you can zoom the camera's field of view in (assuming your camera has zoom option). If nightime plate reading is what you want, you need to get a special License plate camera. 4k cameras are starting to hit the market, will be interesting to see how well they do plates. Daytime should do quite well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
