Has anyone tried the IPC-HFW7442H-Z? (Does on-camera ALPR) (or general advice about on-camera ALPR)

[wrybread]

I've been using the HFW5241E-Z12E to do ALPR with OpenALPR (using Watchman), but I'm using it in a commercial environment so it costs $50/month per camera, and I have two cameras. That adds up.

The IPC-HFW7442H-Z does ALPR on camera and costs about $450 from Andy.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried it? Or if anyone has a theory about how it might compare to OpenALPR?

Or how other cameras with on-board ALPR compare to OpenALPR?

I'm really happy with OpenALPR but it's a bit pricey for my purposes.

Thanks for any advice.

I have no experience with that cam and hope someone that does makes a post about it.

But Hikvision has one that does the ALPR work also and @coney27 love it. See this thread:
