Looking for some advice. I own a small computer shop and we have started to do some basic camera systems for some clients. I have one client, auto mechanic tire shop, that we just put in two Sharx outdoor cameras to watch the front and sides of the building. The Sharx are working great, but the client now wants to also have the ability to read the license plates of the cars coming in and the Sharx just quite can't do that. There is just the one roadway entrance, 60'-80' from the front of the building, so a camera mounted above the front door entrance would have an almost direct head on view of anyone turning in/out. I am looking for suggestions/recommendations for an outdoor, day/night IP LPR camera, hopefully in the $500-800 range. Nothing super fancy, just need it to take a legible picture of the plates. It would be hooked up via Cat5 to the PC that I have the Sharx recording to. I'm attaching a picture of the building in question. Red squares/lines are the Sharx cameras, green is where the LPR cam would most likely be mounted.
