Car Backup Camera Rearview Parking Vehicle S2 Camera by Xroose High Definition 6 Auto LED Lights for Night Vision IP69K Waterproof Rate License Plate Mounted Optimum 149˚ Wide View for Safty,9-12V.

We've been having a lot of packages stolen in our neighborhood. I’m looking for a high quality IP camera to capture cars and license plates day or night.

The camera would be mounted 4 feet back from a 2 lane road on a pole (speed limit is 25mph, law requires front plates). I see that a lot of people are having good luck with the low cost Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I-12mm 3MP IR Bullet (at least during the day).

I have a generous budget so I’m looking at alternatives for high quality day and night:. Hikvision 4K Smart IP Bullet (2.8 mm to 12 mm). Vivotek KitThe Vivotek appears to be designed specifically for what I want, but it is expensive at about $1700 and only 2MP. I spoke with Hikvision tech support and they felt their new 4K cameras could be adjusted to suit my needs. I’d really appreciate any suggestions and recommendations for other equipment. I don't need automated LPR, I just need to be able to read the plates. 60mm not 6mm, I had to use a box camera for the distances I was working with so I could put whatever lens I needed on it.your distances wont require such hardware, a 2.8mm to 12mm varifocal would be a very wise choice.

It helps alot if you can refocus at day/night as reflective plates appear to be closer than they are.you still might need external IR, at such high shutter speeds the built in IR is usually not adequate enough to fire up plates to the same brightness as the headlights are. And you also have to deal with dirty & damaged plates, so just plan on needing more IR for best results.

If you have too much light you can just run a higher fixed shutter speed and get sharper results. 60mm not 6mm, I had to use a box camera for the distances I was working with so I could put whatever lens I needed on it.your distances wont require such hardware, a 2.8mm to 12mm varifocal would be a very wise choice.

I installed a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I-12mm 3MP mini bullet IP camera above my garage door pointing toward the street. It is about 35 feet from the camera to the license plates of cars driving. It's been up for 2 days and I've been able to read the license plate of every car so far (front and back). It works both day and night.

The two lane road is very dark at night because there are no street lights and few homes. The only illumination besides the camera's IR are 2 sconces on the front of my garage with dim LED bulbs. Hey guys I am looking for a dedicated lpr camera to add to my system, I am new to the whole Poe systems. I just started setting up my system its a Laview nvr 16 channel, 3tb hd. It came with 6 bullet cameras.The attached image is what i am trying to cover, the camera would be dedicated to strictly reading plates from intersection.

This would be for manual reads. I figure i will need a ir light to help read plates at night.My questions are what cams will work with my system?How much zoom do i need?Do i need ptz or can i get away with a regular cam?Was thinking this cam would fit my needs.
