    Will a 54IR or a 22IR camera be sufficient for LPR if I'm mounting on a mailbox?

    These serve as a good idea of relation to angles, speed and target size of the plate. As mentioned by many, a good capture will depend on many variables. Best to do a temporary setup for oneself to see what results you can get in your application.

    Will a 54IR or a 22IR camera be sufficient for LPR if I'm mounting on a mailbox?

    These captures look great as they are stationary, and they have a good angle. To have this good angle, the camera would have to be right at the edge of the road. The angle and speed will determine if you get a readable LP capture. In my case, not enough zoom to make the plate large enough to...

    My neighbors are talking about my house.

    I guess that rules out screwing around on the balconies then, doesn't it?

    I wonder if that thing spins like a turret on a tank?

    Will a 54IR or a 22IR camera be sufficient for LPR if I'm mounting on a mailbox?

    In my case, a lot more distance. The minimum camera I would have to use to have the reasonable angle and zoom as well as enough IR would be the B54IR-Z4E. As I found out, best to try a temporary setup to get an idea before you go through a permanent installation. Even more important is to...

    Will a 54IR or a 22IR camera be sufficient for LPR if I'm mounting on a mailbox?

    My personal experience, the 5442 FOV wasn't enough to get the plate even being 5 feet off the road. And then there's the light issue. The turret cams can have hotspots in the middle of the image. The bullet cams do much better with IR as there is twice as many and the illumination is more even...

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    I doubt the wire can stay taught through all temps and weather. Once the gutter assembly heats up and expands, it stretches the wire and when it cools and contracts, the wire will be loose. Most people don't or can't maintain their own gutters, especially custom gutters as seen on this dwelling...

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    Obviously, it's your project and you'll need to weigh your options. I feel that the conduit route is probably one of the better options as it will protect the wire from the elements and be a bit more secure. Not to mention that it should result in a nice clean installation and you won't have to...

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    I wouldn't recommend that practice - too many things that can go awry, including getting blocked with debris. And it can be a real pain if gutter/downspout work is needed as the ones doing the work will blame the issue on the cable and just remove it, likely destructively.

    No Attic or Eaves on New Install

    Stapling ethernet cable is never a good idea. I would suggest access through the buildup like you mention and then pvc electrical conduit straight up to the camera location with a junction box at the camera. It would provide a nice clean look, and the conduit can be painted to help it blend with...

    One B54IR Z4E down during the storm

    Well, unscrewed the camera from the junction box and guess what came out the bottom? Water. I don't understand how water got into the junction box as they have a rubber seal on the cover. Something wasn't aligned correctly or something. The connector had water in it as well - but only to that...

    Getting idiots to pick up their trash

    I viewed this on Amazon and played the video just to get an idea of the sound. Needless to say, the volume on the laptop was a bit too high and the 4 dogs went crazy. Kinda like when you click on a video on one of those you-know-what sites and it gets everyone's attention. Doh! :facepalm:
