Enterprise LPR Cameras versus Dahua/EmpireTech

[DoorDasher]

Hi Everyone, I am new here and want to learn as much as possible about LPR cameras as it is being heavily used in the parking industry now (revenue/access control). I have been skimming over the forms that past few days and noticed a lot of inexpensive cameras being mentioned for LPR like empiretech and dahua. Some of the pictures I am seeing of the plate reads from these cameras are better than what I am seeing from more expensive cameras like Innex and Survision. Plate reads inside garages are usually dealing with low light levels and cars traveling at about 2-5 mph. Has anyone used Innex/Survision but would prefer to use a different camera for LPR for access control?

Use of Overview and LPR Cams to Document Midnight Vehicle Distributing Offensive Flyers on Lawns

We were out of town and I was checking my cams remotely one morning and noticed one of the Deputies that regularly patrol my subdivision had been at my front door. She has come to me a few times requesting video as she knows I have fairly good coverage of the streets at my corner. I noticed that...
