How clear is the image? At what distance can you read a license plate with this camera under daytime conditions?

I haven't yet tried the license plate test but for a non HD camera i'm very happy with the daytime image. The night viewing with the IR emitters is also decent and i guess i can see over 100 feet. As you might expect, the nighttime image isn't as good as daytime and not as clear but i can see cars, deer, dogs, people although not with a great amount of detail. For the price, very good. I've ordered more. Amazon has some reviews of this camera. Check them out.

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.

Unfortunately I cannot answer your question; I purchased 3 of these units to run over POE and was never able to get them to work. They were shorted to ground inside the case so if you mounted them on anything that was grounded. (A metal Building) they would not power up. I spoke with tech support and then helped me check a few things and then determined that it was our network hardware. I would disagree with them because we are running 2 other IP POE cameras and 8 POE phones off the same switch and everything else we have works fine.

Image is very clear. i have not tried to read license plates, so I would not want to guess. I have since bought an F!9802 as it has quite a wider field of view. The night time video is great. Hope this helps.

Around 20 - 30 meters at a straight on shot. This is not a high def security camera, better at close range. Good night vision capability.

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.

Clarity is excellent. I connected to my 26" LED TV and its great! Camera's clarity is great even at long distance. I can see clearly way down the street

Image clarity is good out to about 150 but 300 would be questionable. I use it for deer hunting out to about 100-120 with good success.

Daytime, if conditions are perfect and vehicle isn't too far away. Nighttime, no, plate reflects too much light back. Camera is really good during the day and night though.

Yes it does have night vision capability, but it's not High enough resolution to read license plate at night. The problem I had was that after 8-9 months the battery would no longer charge.

Daytime photos/video are great. However, night time would be a problem...the quality is not good.... I would not recommend it for that purpose.....hope I helped answer your concerns...

I can't answer your question. Every area we are using it in has at least low light even at night. I can tell you the picture is nice & clear and easy to make out in the low light

Focal distance is pretty good. It is a bit fuzzy at point blank range but from about 1/2" to say 3' or 4' I could clearly see what I was looking at. I stuck it down my drain to check the condition of the pipe and look for blockages and I could see from the camera tip to fairly far down the pipe. The light was bright enough for me to see clearly in dark areas around the camera tip.

Solid clear night video range is about 75ft. Beyond that it gets grainy. Day is another story. Day range is great.

I have found that it produces acceptable images in fairly low light. I don't try to take pictures in almost total darkness so I have no experience there. Under a full moon it took acceptable pictures of animals in my yard. HTH

Seeing at night is no problem with this camera. I'm thinking a bout how long I've had this... 7 - 8 months now and it has been great. The one thing I am still getting used too is the wide angle perspective. Not a problem it is just something you need to be aware of when backing up. FYI, I hook up to a trailer and it makes it a snap night or day.

I installed it about 6 months ago and am satisfied with it. Clarity is acceptable in general but seems to gave a better picture than my other 3 outdoor cameras at night. I will buy thus one again when and if I need another. WS

It all depends on the angle and if and how fast the car is moving. The camera has very good definition. It is not any special application for license plate recognition

This camera has a great focal range. The ability to read plate numbers is based on how close you set the zoom for the area you are looking at. The resolution of the 2 devices are a good match. Don't know exactly what you are trying to capture but you will need one for each area you want to capture plates from.

Seems to be very good as long as there is ample daylight. In low light situations focus and shutter response is slow (as with most digital cameras). Would rate above average.

I'd say the picture is pretty accurate. The camera is angled down some so you don't see much sky. The picture in the description doesn't show the rear bumper which I can see clearly on my truck, helps a lot if you're backing up close to something.

The image from these cameras is clearer than any of the other SD-grade cameras we use (mostly Panasonic BB-HCM511As and similar). I have four in use at my facility and I just checked them all to see if any of them had a good angle on a license plate. Unfortunately they didn't, but based on what I've seen in the past, assuming the camera is set on its highest resolution, plates are legible at 30 feet (plus 20 feet vertical differential) or more, depending on the style of plate. Also, I have seen a few frame-grabs in which plates on a moving vehicle were legible, but it's rare.
