rory 0 Posted November 14, 2004 i have a client that wants to get licence plates from 2 lanes entering the property, it is just a warehouse. They cant spend the ExtremeCCTV prices which is around $4000 for the dual camera. Anyway, was thinking of a Wide Dynamic Pano Day Night camera, anyone tried this yet? IM wondering if I add Infrared, would it pick up the licence plate or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted November 14, 2004 The biggest problem is that to get a zzomed in view to see a plate you forgoe the rest of the scene, this means that a zoomed in cam to only see plates will never see the driver or surroundings, I know you do not like the Geo, but why not use a PTZ that suports alarm inputs, this means you can have a pre set, zoomed position that will egt plates and the camera will zoom in on this location for you every time your PE beam is activated.

rory 0 Posted November 14, 2004 PTZ = $$$ Plus, if you get 1000 cars a day, that PTZ motor probably wont last that long . No they dont need to see anything else besides the Licence Plate, as the car park cameras will cover the other part of the cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted November 14, 2004 I agree about the motors... but Lilin make a really cheap but good PTZ for under $1000 US!!! If they dont need the scene then justya good wide dynamic like the Pana or the Ganz, something good I just saw for this is the inversion built into the Baxhual range, not bad cams either, just tested one, was true for TV lines, which is rare these days!
