I assume the best location for LPR cameras wound be in my front terrace by the side of the road but getting cable there would be a pain.
Any chance I could get by with a camera mounted on the front of my house? The images I've attached are from a full frame DSLR for perspective until I can test with my security cameras.
My camera choices from what I have on hand are;
1 ea. IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E 2MP Starlight WDR IR Bullet Network Camera 5.3mm ~64mm 12x Zoom Lens
1 ea. IPC-HFW5231E-Z5E 2MP Starlight WDR IR Bullet Network Camera 7mm ~35mm 5X Zoom
3 ea. IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP Starlight+ WDR IR Bullet AI Network Camera 2.7mm ~12mm Motorized
What kind of depth of field can I expect? In other words, If I set up the house mounted camera to get focus on a license plate, will I loose visibility on anyone walking towards my front door or garage?
I'll be able to test in a week or two.
With the speed bump cars need to slow down if not almost stop. I don't have street lighting but I do leave my outside house lights on and will suggest my neighbor starts doing the same.
Thanks.
