Would this camera capture out to 120' or so? I have a 437 and would like to get this to grab plates from the other direction.

At night, not a chance.

During the day you may be able to make out most of them with some digital zoom at 120 feet.

Thanks much. Would that other camera you reviewed, can't think of the name, reach out to 120 feet? Think it the 3rd version of the camera. I know it doesn't do ANPR capture, but if it would capture the 3m plates better, it would be a win.

Yeah the Z12E with the new chipset will reach that far even easier than the previous Z12E

Does anyone still have this camera in use? I'd really like to see what night captures look like at say 70', 80', 90'.
Doing new measurements and thinking, I MIGHT be able to set this up around 75-80 feet.

This LPR413-Z3 looks like a more specialized version of the B54IR-Z4E-S3. Both with 1/1.8 4MP image sensors and a 8-32mm optical zoom lens. What changes required a different housing?

This camera actually reads the plates and logs them, so the processor is bigger to perform that and it has internal storage to store the plates.

It also has more capabilities like being able to open gates and what not.

It also has a speaker.

It has 4 larger lights that can do infrared or white light.

All of that means it needs to be larger to contain all the extra stuff.

I have found out that there is a LPR ITC431 with 10-50mm lens. Of course the cost is quite a bit more, but I may snag one down the line just to see. :)

That makes more sense, it has the processing ability and storage built into the unit, and does not require an special NVR or system running on the network just for LPR data logging. Not sure if I skimmed over that part or if it's not a prominent detail in your review. That is really cool it doesn't require a special NVR or a machine with LPR software on the network.

We throw LPR around quite a bit and that is for the cameras like the ZE and Z12E that we have to manually read the plates or use a 3rd party platform to do the reading, whereas an ALPR or ANPR camera like this one has the built-in capabilities to read, store, and log the plates. These cameras will be larger due to the extra capabilities.
