Dahua Technology Pro Series N44BB33-B 4MP Outdoor Network Bullet Camera with Night Vision

[Scarrz]

Would this work for a poor mans street LPR camera (Dahua Technology Pro Series N44BB33-B)? I can mount it probably 5-10' from the street at car level or from my soffit which is a good bit further 50' from the street and obviously a bit higher. Its a culdesac so they have to go by my house then turn up the street.

The 2MP Starlight version of that would likely do better. Not sure of the US model number.

If you go to the house/soffit, you'd need to have more zoom. Be safe for very little difference and go with the Z12 over the Z5

That is not an IP camera.

Thanks Femderman. Should have paid better attention.

Looks like one on Amazon:

One of my concerns is that our house being at the center of a culdesac and at somewhat of a down hill slant, how the camera will do when cars drive down the hill and the headlights at night obstructing the picture. Obviously when they drive back up I will only have brake lights to contend with.

3.6mm wld be too wide
look for some online lens calculator to determine what focal length to use

I believe the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS 2MP is varifocal so I can adjust from 3.6 to 12mm.

Using BLC or WDR should help with the headlights and as they drive away the plate has a license plate light. BTW: The IR says only good to ~about 160'. "IR Distance up to 50m(164t)" So I wouldn't count on that too much. Just a thought!
