Then a Dahua IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E would give you a great shot to that point and your viewing angle would be direct on.
You would have to play with trigger options. How long does a car take to make that circle, etc.

@EMPIRETECANDY has two of that model listed- a Loryta and an EmpireTech one. What's the difference ?
Or is it worth saving the $$ and putting a ball Loryta SD49225XA-HNR in.

I've been obsessing over a 49225xa and might save up for one of those from Andy.
Realize that a camera for LPR should not have multiple duties. You will find that to get good LPR, once you have it set, you will not want to change it and then try and get it back for LPR.

The Loryta is the newer version with some AI features like heat map.
But yeah you want a dedicated camera for LPR.
@djernie has a PTZ for LPR and he said he is looking to get a dedicated one. Now you don't have as much traffic as he does, so you might be able to get away with it at your location, just keep in mind at night it could be a little problematic with focus issues, but for an occasional look around during the day or something but be 99% LPR, it could work.

is that your only possible location for an LPR cam? if so, then yes, you'll only get them on the way out...
then again, if you put something on that pole to the left of the circle entrance in your shots, or even further down the street, you could get 'em coming as well...
As for tuning BI to send the right shot to an external LPR processor, that's quite hit-or-miss still, afiac...

If you can use OpenALPR aka Watchman, it would attempt to read the plate in every frame that it can, then report the most confident reading from the group. It would work well in your location if you deem it worth $5/month and some CPU power. The 49225xa is an option, I set up a buddy with LPR on one of those a couple weeks ago. I set it to semi-auto focus in daytime and Manual focus for nighttime, and naturally I had to dial in a bunch of settings. Dialing down the iris to prevent "bloom" and tweaking the Chroma Sharpness to soften out noise at night were a couple of the key settings for the night mode.
