I have always had cameras and worked with cameras in the petroleum business , so I knew the difficulty in getting good license plates captures, and never saw the need at home. It wasn’t until recently when someone started harassing and threatening a close friend and neighbor. All the nest cameras and even my camera system couldn’t identify the car other than a small white SUV flying by.
I knew I couldn’t do anything with the threading letters, but once he or she started vandalizing their cars I knew the LPR was the answer. So with a little research and a lot of help from here I got my one ALPR camera set up and running flawlessly, just about a week ago actually . I get a good clean capture and log of every plate that goes by on the street.
We figured it was only a matter of time before they struck again. And they didnt disappoint, Monday night 8:03 pm, her nest camera catches them driving by and tossing a container of white paint on one of their cars. Thanks to all the help I got here, my cameras got him driving up the street and a perfect capture of the plate. By 10pm the person was arrested. Unfortunately he can’t be linked to the letters or other vandalism instances, but at least it’s a start. Thanks!
