Getting the hang of it
I'm using both a Turret IPC-T54IR-ZE and the Bullet IPC-T54IR-Z4E cameras doing LPR captures for me. My state stopped issuing front license plates in 1983 to increase their profits, same vehicle registration costs charged, but only 1 plate delivered to each vehicle owner. So I have to use 2 cameras to capture traffic from both directions.
I use the more common Bullet 12x IPC-T54IR-Z4E camera with more zoom to get a close view of vehicle license plates. Mine is shooting over oncoming traffic to the opposite side of the roadway, and captures plates at ~75ft away. It's a 25MPH zone, but it has captured a speeding motorcycle with its mini license plate (dirty and bent to obscure the view).
While I use the smaller Turret 5x IPC-T54IR-ZE camera is right next to the roadway is almost square with license plates going past and enough zoom to capture plates at that close 15ft range. We don't have front license plates in my State, so I have to capture everyone as their driving away from the cameras. This small turret camera is only looking at vehicles ~15ft as they cross the field of view.
CAT5A is ran to the front of the house for a small patch panel, then Exterior CAT6 is routed under the grass, then under the sidewalk to these locations, its really easy to pull low voltage or irrigation under the sidewalk with a long flexible drill bit for under $50 online.
Additional cameras on the property are able to get a decent vehicle description to go with the license plate if a we search doesn't get results on the plate & vehicle, sometimes Google Lens is best you can do to get a vehicle description. There is a group on teens that rides their illegal Mini-Bikes in the neighborhood weekly, trespassing, looking for any unlocked doors to burglarize those individuals. They broke down in front of my home one night, and I was able to get the description of the (unknown) support vehicle they toss their stolen items in during the night. Once they noticed I had security cameras they ran away quickly. Law Enforcement used the plate number to get an address where they store their illegal bikes, and know where to head when there are 911calls of an individual burglarized by a group of teens on scrap lawn mower bikes.
Yes these are in the municipal easement area between the side walk and curb, this might be illegal in your area, but its not where I'm located, save the civil rights speech's for your grumpy teens when they grow up. I'm responsible for the lawncare and general maintenance, the tree is my property insure if it falls. And multiple City agencies were at my property looking at storm damage, then again for storm damage clean-up, again to inspect the property, then again multiple time's marking the unities for fiber internet installation underground in my neighborhood. either nobody seen the cameras, or they don't care and are legal.
