Can this camera detect license plates?

They sell License Plate Cameras DESIGNED to read license plates from a distance. You could set up two cameras, one regular security camera to record a normal street view, and one LPCamera, aimed at a precise spot within the regular view, to record the plate of a car driving by. Cops, banks, and other high security areas probably use these. You could use it to record someone illegally accessing, or driving through your property.anonj

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.

It is a darn good camera, but I do not know what your trying to do with it. Yes it can pick up plates at a bit of a distance. It is not going to get plates very far at night, or if the vehicle is moving. I hope that helps.

It will only pick up speed cameras that are "front facing" (i.e. the violation picture is of your front plate). Most U.S. speed cameras are "rear facing" since not all states require front plates. In these situations, you generally won't know there's a camera until after you've passed it (and have already been caught, if you were speeding). It will not pick up red light cameras, as others have noted.

Probably not, the reason this is called a license plate camera is the dynamic gain control that effectively digitally blocks the light from headlights to prevent the picture from being washed out. The picture quality on these is not bad, but it's not top of the line. But you're also not paying top dollar either.

Not sure, I didn't use the camera that came with the screen. I used the kind that mounts to the license plate.

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.

The image is very clear, however, you will not be able to read a license plate from more than 10-20 feet. The camera does not have a zoom. I own a total of 9 camera from Sharx and the quality is very good but I have the same issues for reading a license plate as you.

It needs direct light to be reflective. Unless the camera has a flash aimed at your plate it will probably not work for that. Try a cover.

yes, it will clip right on your existing license plate light ( you have to take out your old license plate light first in order for the new camera to go in).

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.

No. It goes over your license plate. Removed the 2 upper license plate bolts and place the camera bracket slots over the license plate holes. You might have to get some longer bolts/screws.

No. This detector doesn't detect traffic cameras. Otherwise great detector. Don't run red lights, they do not ticket for speed.

if you use this for a company that has many cars or trucks you would enter the plate number to be able to tell which camera belong to which car and so on

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

I am sure it will work. You will have to remember that the picture will be askew to the left. They sell reverse cameras that do not mount on the license plate frame. That may require a custom install.

The camera has an option to program your car's license plate # into it, and have that display as an 'overlay' on the recorded video. Not sure what benefit that provides, but it can be setup that way if you so please.

As per BestBuy technician, he replaced license plate light with camera. I think it will be ok.If it does not work, you can just return it. I hope this is a proper answer for you.

Yes, this kit comes with a backup camera that mounts with the top two screws holding the licence plate. Wires then go behind the plate into the trunk to hook up with the back up lights. The video is sent wirelessly to the receiver at the GPS.
