Newbee looking for a LPR/8 camera system

[wayneh]

I'd be interested in what shutter speeds you are running with the LPR cam four feet off the ground and not getting blinded. I'm running 4ms at night and it works very well. I can run a faster speed at night, but then the fringes don't work as well. This camera is on a corner, so some cars go straight and some turn right. None are really going fast, maybe 30 mph at best. During the day I can run it at 1 ms or faster. The camera I use is a 3 mp POE Sricam. Some people think they are junk. I don't know, it was relatively cheap and has worked since spring. I do use a separate 20 watt white LED shining at the car to aid in the illumination.
Good luck.

im running 2ms at night, only illumination is a 10W IR Cannon @ 180ft

Nayr: I don't mean to hijack this mans thread, but that's cool. I'd be interested in seeing some head on night shots at 190 feet. With my camera lower it will get blinded by oncoming headlights, and at 2 ms it's hard to get all the plates since it's a residential road and oncoming cars don't exactly have a 30 foot lane to stay in.

So which camera you are using for the LPR?

 

[wayneh]

SRI-IPA690 Ip Camera Lettura Targhe LPR 4 megapixel Varifocal Lens 6-22mm IP66. It was shipped from Italy, but it it is certainly Chinese.

If you're blinded by headlights I'd say try a faster exposure and lower the gain and if you still can't see plates then add more IR, making sure that it's shooting pretty close to the same angle the camera is. You'll need a pretty focused beam to have much IR left at that distance. You can get 5 degree IR illuminators or even adjustable ones down to that tight. Search IR cannon on here.

Cable (burial grade if running exposed or underground), ends, cable tool kit (crimpers, tester, stripper, etc), installation tools (fish tape/sticks, long drillbits), illuminators, maybe junction boxes/conduit/bender if you can't run the wire inside the house or tuck the wire into the siding. Beer for post-installation celebration.

So this what I got so far what does everyone think any suggestions before I order I have time to make any tweaks or changes. With what I got not sure what the best fit will be for the doorway area and the backyard under the cover area so I may have not chose right. Thanks for the help
