I am looking for a security CCTV system which doesn't use full motion video, but uses a selection of still shots at high shutter speeds. I wish to be able to see vehicle number plates passing my premises at relatively slow speed.
Currently I have a Swann HD NVR NV7200 (2.1M pixel cameras) but am disappointed in the quality of the still shots.
My idea is to have a still camera (possibly GoPro) with a motion sensor and infrared lens/filter.
The reason for this is that a standard HD video camera running 30fps trying to catch a moving image at 50kms per hour is almost impossible. (Was it a Triton or a Hilux?) Never mind trying to get the number plate detail.
The maths states that a vehicle travelling at 50kms per hour travels at 13metres a second. So if we are recording at 30 FPS the distance travelled in 1/30th sec is approx. 500mm causing significant blurring.
If you use a still shot 10Mp at 1/400th or 1/800th of a second the blurring is vastly reduced. (16mm)
Is there anything in the marketplace that foregoes video for a series of still shots?
I know (from other posts on this forum)if I use a GoPro Ill have issues with, power, storage, the ability to stream pictures, heat etc. So I'm looking for a system that may be a bit out of the ordinary.
