I’m wondering if anybody has ever set up a camera dedicated to capture images of drivers inside their cars.

After setting up 16 cameras for my house, including 2 dedicated LPR’s, I’m playing with the idea of trying to set up a camera dedicated to capturing images of the drivers. Only reason I’m entertain the idea, we had an unstable mental woman driving around the neighborhood, causing all kind of problems. I was able to capture a photo of her, but would of like to have gotten a better shot. Included is the shot. This and a shot of the license plate help the Sherriff identify the culprit.

Another reason for capturing the images would be to identify if the driver is up to nefarious actions, such as scoping out, stalking, or other such actions.

I saw this video that may be food for thought. Even works through tinting. Maybe a varifocal and a concentrated spot infrared aimed at the area of the street where a drivers window would pass?

I seem to recall someone here experimenting with polarized filters on IP cams and it did help somewhat.
On my dashcam, a filter helps a lot.

Every location is different, you'll most likely just have to test and see.
