Anyone with an idea of this camera's value and what lens to order it with?

If it's really good for LPR (I'm not running software, just storing data), I'd like to move my Empire Tech camera to my front gate. Hard for me to evaluate what this really is. It's inexpensive if it works.

Ha ha...the part about reading a license plate from 120 yards (360 feet) is not going to happen.

I'm sure it won't, but for $130 seems worth a gamble. You can return anything from AliExpress.

You can get a similar 12mm focal length dahua varifocal for that price.

I wouldn't waste money on this.

I did buy this camera. 1/1.8, we'll see what it does in the dark. Could be total bullshit, if it is... back it goes.
