Hi everyone,
This forum has been great at helping me get two new Street Guardian units set up and dialed in. However, one thing that still seems to bother me a little bit is that night-time footage here in California with our white reflective license plates seems to blow-out the plates when they are illuminated with headlights at night, turning them into a bright white mess with zero visibility of any letters or numbers on them. I've noticed in various sample videos out there that this is apparently an issue for others as well, but I haven't been able to find a discussion of some suggested fixes for the problem.
e.g. night footage from our vehicle following another car renders the plate completely illegible due to the reflection from the headlights illuminating the reflective CA plate.
Is there any settings tweak that might help alleviate this problem? Currently the cameras are set to WDR mode by default.
Thanks!
PS I should add, a friend with his own SG9665GC posted some night footage via YT that shows similar problems until he gets really close to other cars at a stoplight. Maybe this is normal?
