would i be able to set this camera up to be able to read a license plate number on a fast moving vehicle Picture or videao?

I don't know if the reaction time would be quick enough for that type of application...If the video was triggered in time, it might, but other than that, I would not place a bet on it.

it all depends on the angel of the camera building a new home in mannorville ny and i use these cams to keep night watch over the property.in order to take pics of a license plate you would have to build a 5 foot tall wooden stand,drill two holes in back of camera and mount it on with a power tool and screw the camera onto wooden 5 foot pole.get you some camo netting place around pole.dig a hole and point camera in direction of the cars parking area.[make sure you camouflage the pole and don't cover the camera lens or the motion detection port] dig a hole about a foot deep.cover hole with dirt and leaves.turn it on to multi shots and it will take pics of licence plates day or night. tauz

I really don't think so. Something slow and larger possibly but I have my doubts about a fast moving object.

No. This camera has a minimum 3 second delay from when it senses motion to when it takes a picture.

My camera is at an angle to my driveway, which curves. At the point where the car is heading directly to the camera it is about 75 feet away. I cannot make out the license plate at that distance. As it gets nearer the angle gets sharper so it is still unreadable. My guess would be that about 25 feet would be the max for reading a license plate, and that's only if it is not moving too much.

More information is needed. What kind of camera are you using, how fast are you going, what kind of surface are you driving on, how are you configuring the mount?

I don't see why not. I had to turn the camera to get the required picture I needed. The only other issue is are you using a license bracket camera or a pilot hole camera. The pilot hole camera hasd more options.

I would be cautious about trying it. I know it is an inexpensive chance. Can you download software from Snap On for it to recognize obd1 vehicles? If not then I believe you will be disappointed.

I would recommend a camera in the megapixel family of cameras before I wanted to reliably read license plates. You're getting up there in price with a high quality one. Check out Arecont Vision cameras.

yes, I think it would. It is a pretty clear picture. You would certainly see the car. I don't know about distance. I use it to look in water ways of washing machines, looking for socks. I don't know how close you would have to be to read a license plate.

Yes, you need to have some kind of screen in the car capable of taking the camera input. This could be built-in/nav screen or a third-party add on (e.g., DVD) screen.

This is a fantastic camera and yes it could read a plate from about 25-30 ft. 3 ft might be stretching and the speed of the vehicle might come into play. Night Vision on this camera is awesome.

The camera is suitable for a body cam. Power would be 12 volts. I am using a recorder in my car that would do the recording but it is a little bulky. I have no idea what the long term power requirement for all of it would be. You might try experimenting with a single board micro computer like the Arduino for recording. I don't think it can handle video though.

Yes, you would use that mode when parked. If you used it when the vehicle is in motion it would be a moot point since the view is constantly changing. Its there to keep the cam from running perpetually without recording any action. This keeps you from having watch eight hours of grass growing to find the 30 second segment that shows your ex girlfriend keying your car.

Hello, dear customer, This camera can record all movements photographed in the lens. And if you car supply 12V car charger , that is OK. it is just a camera, no limit about the car mode. If any other problems, please just feel free to tell us. It is our great honor to serve you. Best regards, Lemonbest

The camera has an option to input an identifier that will be shown on the recorded video. You can put your name, license number, driver name/number etc. The purpose is, if you are running a fleet of vehicles/drivers, you can use this stamp to identify from what vehicle/driver the video came.

Well Bennie if you mean will the small camera that comes with the unit work on the license plate - it sure will and it works great!!! Charles

Then the only choice you have is a board camera. License plate cameras "Back up cameras" are not good enough besides a lot of those reverse the image. The good ones come with light blocking they can be found in dome cameras great for nabbing plate numbers the control for those is in the cable. It's a lot of messing around to get them set up but when you do it's worth it. Take note of those settings on paper if the camera loses power a lot of those default back. You can find then by themselves but I have not seen them on Amazon google board cameras that will get you there.

Yes. I have two of these cameras. One mounted on the license plate bracket of my truck. I can see well behind me, wide and high. Other is mounted rooftop high on my towable RV and I get a very good view of anything behind me. Night time view is not very good on highways as headlights, street lights, etc blind the whole camera. However, if in a place with no bright lights shinning the night view is exceptional. Hope this helps.

It depends on how far the vehicles are located. My cameras are positioned about 35yards from the parking lot so I'm unable to make out license plate #s. I'd image with software it probably could be done. However, unless the camera is within 30feet or so of the vehicle, it is unlikely you will be able to make out the #. Also, there would need to be a separate light source, such as street lights or a paring lot light. The IR filter does not do much to help any situation. I'd recommend turning it off entirely. If you absolutely need to be able to read license plate numbers from over 30-40ft away, I wouldn't recommend this camera. Hope this helps! It depends on how far the vehicles are located.
