Can I read a license plate of parked car in a day light at 50 yards? What about night under street light?

Here's a simple test for your question Vlad; 10 X is basically ten times the size of the original object being viewed, so if the numbers are say 2 inches tall they would appear 20 inches tall at the same distance when viewed through 10X bino's.

Yes it can & a good system at this price point, Night vision isn't good on fast moving objects and you can't read a car's license plate if moving. But you would pay big bucks for that type of system. Hookup is easy. My receiver was a brick wall and a drywall away. approx 35ft. works great

Yes if left in the day position only. The night camera light will glare off the window and block vision. Also sun glare can affect camera sight. Howeverthe camera will work through glass during the day and at night if outside is well lit.

My car got badly damaged by an a**hole trying to park, but he left before I could identify the plates. Our parking lot is small, having just one row deep of spots right next to the apartment building. Behind the small parking lot about 20-25' back is a tree. If I were to mount this on the tree inside the security box, and point it towards the parking lot, do you think I'd be able to see the plates of anyone pulling in at night? We have street lighting so it's not too dark.

There is a lifgt for iluminating the pin at night. The yardage tape is unmarked but yiu can use a pen to add your own yardage

This does not work very well for license plate reading. There just aren't enough lines of resolution.

NO! Do not use this while driving, it has a particular narrow field of view and fixed zoom. It can read at night but street lights will blind you. I'm sure it's DMV legal since they don't care about field of view but I would never use it while driving in a car or even as a passenger.

Daytime its excellent. I use it to cover my yard sale out the window about 150 feet away. (yes somtimes people try to take things if Im not right there to watch it. At least this way I get a view of their car so I can report it.) At night beyond 7-8 foot it gets more and more faint the further away you are. Finally about 10-12 feet away its totally black again. It could pick up a person walking by or sneaking in but you would not be able to see many details beyond about 8-10 feet. Check out my video demo on YouTube. Search for video ZPqF25zfC5k or check out the video demo from Amazon fan,in the reviews section. Any background light at all really helps this unit with distances beyond 8 feet. A nightlight on, even moonlight coming in, or a streetlamp outside the window can make the room still be light enough. Hope that helps. Nick- onlinenterprises Just click this link to get one from me.

With windows in the daytime you won't really be able to tell it's on. In the dark it will light shed well enough to find something, but not work by.

Jay, Keep in mind that this is an indoor camera - the built-in infra-red lights must be disabled in the camera's setup if this camera is placed behind a glass window. The camera can still be set to be sensitive to external IR light when the built-in IR is disabled. Most license plates seem to be reflective, which essentially causes the normally readable parts of license plates to be washed out when IR light hits the license plates. If you are able to use motion sensitive LED floodlights in the area, you could force the camera to remain in color mode all the time, which would increase the chances of license plate recognition at night.

most often yes, if it's not too bright outside. also a bright colored surfuce at the 50 yd mark helps. So a cloudy day dawn or dusk and bright reflective target surface will work. 50 yards is pretty much it. Oh, and make sure the batteries are fully charged..

Yes and no. The camera has a set of IR LEDs that allow it to see at night. You will have not be able to see what is going on at night unless you do what I did and tape off the LEDs using black electrical tape. What happens is the IRs hit the glass and at night it acts like a mirror and blinds the camera. Without the LEDs it works fine during the day and at night it works decently with ambient/porch light. You could also get an IR LED array for fairly cheap here off amazon and point that into your yard as well. That way it would have pretty good B&W; night vision.

No, it can only be used as a license plate light on most cars. interiors LEDs are connected differently.

I had one on the corner of my house pointing down my driveway. Driveway is approx 80' long. No problem recognizing anyone during the daytime even at the end of the driveway at the street. But, nighttime would be a real challenge on anything further than 25'. You might be able to "see" a person further than 25', but being able to discern who the person is would be the problem.

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.

We have one of these mounted to a carport pole facing up our driveway. It does not flash, so would not be easy to spot at night. Not only that, but if for some reason they do see the camera, the picture would still be contained on the remote unit which can be hidden over 90 feet away. Therefore you'd still have their picture. If you can use a standard digital camera, this should be easy for you to operate.

I have a pair mounted on my jeep and they will illuminate an object up to about 125 to 150 yards. Much farther if the object is reflective, such as a street sign.
