I'm looking for a housing for my DIY 50mm Sony IMX291 LPR. I couldn't find anything with close specs, and I frankly got tired of fighting it, so for 20$ from Ali and another 25$ for a fast optic, I now have a lense capable of reading license plates to the edge of my circle (and a bit beyond). How it works at night, I don't know yet.
I still need to get a POE module to hook it up properly, but I do need to find some good housings. I was hoping to come across some busted Dahua units but no-dice there.
Ali's got a couple, but they're still 20$ and of questionable waterproofness. I ordered them anyways.
Thanks for the tips on the lense- it's still not as sharp as I'd like, but it's pretty decent. I may try and hook up one of my old camera lenses or find a fast 50mm f1.8 from ebay. footprint would be the same, just severely cropped.
Thanks kindly
