- Verify Plate reads inside of your LPR Software.
- If plate reads are dark or washed out at night, use the max gain and exposure level settings to adjust as needed. (Higher equals brighter)
  (Increasing the Gain will brighten the image overall, however it will also increase noise. Increasing exposure increases the light gathered. This can cause the plate to be washed out if too high or illegible if too low.)
