Is this clear enough to pickup the license plates of cars driving by during the daytime and night?

Use the "Sharx Security SCNC3905 High Definition 1080P for Outdoor instead.

Hi, thanks for the question, this is an indoor camera. It has a wide angle lens to show you almost the entire room when the camera is positioned in a corner. This means that if the camera was to look out a window, license plates on cars would probably be too small to be recognizable. The corresponding outdoor model is SCNC3905.

I hadn't tried it until I saw the question but yes it can. I used my drivers license and got a crystal clear image. I also tried my credit card because I wanted to see if it could scan a card that wasn't exactly flat and got a great image from that as well.

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

No. I used it for parking lot lights for luninanaire survey. It works fine.

I do not know as we do not have those systems here. Although I did "once buy a spray for that purpose" at a auto equip store about 5 years ago in Albuquerque, NM. But they also make license plate covers that are supposed to blur view in bright/reflected light. Not that I own one. ;)

When it works at all, it works in the dark. It picks up infared.I have it set up in the driveway of my business so I get to see it work all day. Misses a lot of cars, and does a lot of false alerting with nothing around.

I use it with limited visibility degradation. I do suggest you check your state laws though.

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.

Yes. The numbers are very dim in the daytime even though it is shaded. At night it can be seen well.

yes but you will get a double layer of numbers since windshields are two pieces of glass. the film will also increase daytime visibility by a good amount

I found mine works best in 'Sunshine' mode at night. Makes no sense but it is what it is. It still underwhelms at night but I suppose if there were an accident it would suffice to show fault. Forget reading license plates at night: this camera is just not up to the task.

We are not sure about that. We recommend you buying a license plate relocator

Yes. In daylight use the detector . Used it to set grade on a lot last week . Have also run lines and set foundations with it

When the car is moving, it is hard to read the license plate clearly. If the car stops at a traffic light, the license plate is clear as crystal in the recorded video.

Full disclosure- i use this as a patrol chest cam. It works OK at night, the HD 1080 picks up the best. It is in no way NVG or patrol vehicle cam sensitive. The best i can describe it is less than eyesight. Without artificial light it will pick up pin point light (like dashboard lights) but anything else is dark. It will see what your flashlight beam is on, but not necessary what your low beams on your vehicle is illuminating. I hope this helps.

You'll pretty much never be able to read license plates at night with a night vision camera due to the night vision LEDs reflecting off the plate and washing it out. License plates are highly reflective, so you'll only be able to read them during the day when the LEDs aren't on.
