cctv2ip 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Hello, Which IP camera would you recommend for outdoor use on a driveway? It is important to make out license plates in day or night. I intended to use a Vivotek 7330 but tech support at Vivotek recommended IP8362 or the IP7361 instead for picking up license plates. This goes a little outside our budget. I finally found the Vivotek 8332, at the top of our budget and leaning towards it. Is there a big difference between the 8332 and the 8362 and 7361? These models get confusing. Thanks for any feedback on this application. I've read mounting the camera up with a 15-20 degree angle on the car. I thought about running powerline Ethernet out (350') but think standard Ethernet with POE will be best - going to use a switch half way. Have used WebCamXP for years but the project is so stale. Plan to try Blue Iris. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dolson11 0 Posted November 2, 2011 How far is the camera going to be from the license plate? How wide(ft) does the picture need to be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv2ip 0 Posted November 2, 2011 dolson11, I can set it anywhere next to the driveway. I figured a few feet off so - say 15-20ft total from center of driveway. Would like to see the whole car so - approx 20' width. These are minimums and I can adjust anything though. Just guessing here. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
