Thanks for the samples!
It would be very interesting if you can also go in the situations that are more difficult.
Especially oncoming traffic with speeds, where it's hard to capture a license plate at all.
So I mean situations, where this feature maybe can make a real difference in readability.
If PlateFix only increases contrasts and sharpens existing footage it might look more clear but regarding license plates especially in difficult situations it will make no difference.
But if it also affects shutter speeds and things like that, there might be a difference in favour of the PlateFix feature.
Would be great if you are able to test situations with oncoming traffic as well. Especially in difficult light-conditions.
Because I think then we can really say if it's a real innovation.
Just a random cross-comparison:
I noticed for example that for early firmware between Viofo VS1 and Mini2 for example that the VS1 looks more clear in license plates in situations like you show.
So it was possible to assume, that the quality is better.
But going into difficult situations it surprisingly started to be the exact other way round regarding license plate capturing.
I noticed similar things for different firmware-versions of dashcams where I currently have two models in stock. Unfortunately for the N4 Pro I haven't yet.
The better looking firmware is not always the best when it comes to very hard conditions.
For me the best comparison is not to compare license plates in situations where you can read them in general.
But to compare especially in hard conditions where maybe one dashcam or firmware-setting can still manage to capture a license plate while the other can't.
It would be great if you have the possibility to test that as well.
