Street Camera Installation

[passat774]

Hello,

I have a lorex system and wanted to know what camera people would suggest and why for my cul-de-sac install.

I marked the tree with an arrow for the location of the camera.

Looking for identification purposes.

What are you trying to identify, people, vehicles, license plates?

+1 above!

One camera will not be an overview and get plates, especially at night.

Looks similar to my setup.
You'll need two cameras, one for Overview and one for getting plates (LPR)

Cameras are mounted on a pole approx 20ft back from curb, plate capture at anywhere from 80ft-100ft


Recommend
HFW5442T-ASE (3.6mm) for the Overview camera
HFW5241E-Z12E for the LPR camera

And if you want to ID people at varying distances, you’ll need a 3rd camera

Here is the view, just trying to figure out what options I have to improve the view.

Answer the questions, that will help.

I am thinking plates and people, not much action typically. I have been able to grab plates most of the time with my one basic camera,,

 

[wittaj]

Do you want plates at night? Are you able to capture plates at night now?

You may be one of the rare instances in a cul-de-sac where you can at night, but I think most would recommend a dedicated camera for plate reading as @bigredfish shows.

Raise it higher like 10-12 feet and add cameras.

You would have to define 'improve'. What needs improving?

I am thinking plates and people, not much action typically.

Plates and people? Plates are understandable and as other's have stated the cam and asked if night was important, I won't go there.

That's a fairly wide view. Just where in that view do you want to get people. And I am taking it you mean face ID.
