LPR camera mount suggestion

[chonky]

Is that a vacant block next to your house or is it part of your land?
The second a house goes up on you will lose that view point.

the build requires 6 meters as a setback from the road so the view point should be there post build . i will get a z12 and start from there i guess.

The road is a circuit so car will always enter or exit from that spot. So should be doable front or rear.

Look where the next house along is.
Then draw a line from there to your driveway and assume they build up to the boundary.
That's going to leave you fuck all view for a camera.
And that's just the wall. There'll be a roof on top of that too at the exact same height as your camera but sticking out beyond the wall.
By all means stick a camera there but be prepared to point it the other way once the neighbours build their house.

Really you need to weigh up the options available to you and make a decision about where is the best spot right now.
The best spot might not be the easiest spot or it might not be the best spot forever.
You seem pretty adamant that you have to capture cars coming from the right of your house, what's wrong capturing them coming from the other way?

I think you're best to put it in the location suggested here.

Orange is where I'd place the camera and red is where I'd put the camera towards.
Remember, this camera will only do one task, capture license plate. If you need an overview camera as well, add another camera.

You're on a pretty curvy road, that is on a slope and your house isn't parallel to it at any point, the angles are gonna be hard to judge.

Reason for getting it on right is cause the cars enter and some time stop on that side.

But you are right, I will just have to try it out. I have ordered Z12.

Will keep you guys posted once i have it in place .

Thanks heaps every one

If i was to mount the camer on left of the house and get plate where that blue car is. Would it work ?

I think so

Various solvents and roundup tend to kill green things relatively slowly

Probably. But at least cut those weeds and gain 10+ft more

guys what if I mount the camer on this edge and it is higher than the rest of the house.

Mounting LPR camera higher is NOT better as you want a little angle as possible for the LPR to work.

Get ONE camera and a long ethernet able and a ladder, test it DAY and NIGHT and see how you like various locations you want to try.

Hi guys thanks for the suggestions. I am getting some good results so far. Attaching some images from today.

The camera has been taking alot of images tho. Is there a way to reduce it ? I have got motion detection turned on but it wont let me choose smart motion for vehicles only.

I am uploading images to an ftp server for now so space is not a big issue but i dont want the camera to be over working then it should. Can it just take snapshots when it sees a vehicle ?

Can some one please share their settings ?

Thank heaps !
