Thought I would make another post, a follow up to yesterdays.
This one is to
SHOW OFF what these 2mp & 4mp cameras can do. Also, why do they not work in all cases?!?!?
Here are some snaps from tonight, this is the 4mp camera is taking photos from under the roof of a building - about 20ft off the ground. The distance to the license plates is an incredible distance of about 150(ish) ft away. The angle is not great either, which is why I have the camera pointed so far down the block.
But check out these captures!
These are the best night images from an ALPR camera I have ever obtained.
Here are some snaps from my 2mp camera, which is about 115 ft to the plates - in the other direction down my street.
Impressive photos, impressive performance.
But not all is perfect. Some vehicles it just will not capture. The plates are 100% readable in my opinion. Take for example these shots I have extracted from the DVR. The camera totally captured NOTHING from this vehicle passing by. These images are great, but the vehicle drives past and the camera never saw a thing....
Has anyone else notice that? Despite the plates being very high quality images no plate is captured. I know if I feed this stream into OpenALPR it would be have no problem at all recognising those images. Why is this camera missing them?
