So, I'm again playing with the idea of a mailbox cam.
I want something small as I just plan to point it out a hole from inside the mailbox for recording traffic and walking passerbys.
Something that could see license plates upon visual inspection of the video is a goal, not going to try the automated LPR stuff, just happy to make out a plate on visual inspection if needed.
I'd like: Tiny, waterproof, POE powered, varifocal (for zooming in on a smaller area standing a chance at seeing plates at all), No IR. Something that
I want to make it as discrete as possible out of the smallest hole necessary. I may add an external 940 nmIR somewhere if there happens to be such a camera like above that is also sensative to 940...I think you have to have a camera with a specific sensor or chip to see 940 from what I can tell....or if not, I'll just skip it and only worry about day images.
I keep reading the ridiculously long thread on the TOP-201 Super Mini and have seen some similar that have a zoom but none waterproof or with all the above requirements.
Anything like that out there or other suggestions?
