If I am getting external IR for LPR purposes, I am getting as tight of a focused beam as possible. We are zoomed in so tight that it doesn't make much sense to waste IR outside the field of view.
Also keep in mind if you do add external IR for LPR, you need to locate it as a close to the camera as possible due to the way plates reflect light back - it is more critical than external IR for other purposes.

It's poe so I was going to get a splitter and put it right next to the camera. Hopefully that helps me get the plates at night.
