Get more light out there—IR or visible. Both help.
You’d need a way better camera with a bigger sensor, higher FPS, and optical zoom. Cheap security cameras just don’t have the quality for good ‘enhancement.’ Even AI can’t replace a high-quality image sensor and zoom. Blink cameras are okay but definitely on the low end.
Dog poop would be cheaper.
Not an expert, but from what I’ve learned, the quality you can get is limited by the camera sensor. AI can fill in some gaps, but it’s more like guessing. If you’re looking to upgrade, I use Axis cameras and love them—they capture plates from 65 feet, even at night. Digital Watchdog (DW) and Unifi are also decent options if you’re looking for something less pricey than Axis.
