Totally understand the generic "25x"nomenclature. Looking for a bullet zoomable camera with 120mm focal length or better. The z12 is what, 60mm I think.
It's around 300 ish feet. I could get an exact measurement but it's just barely out of reach for really solid LPR capture everytime. I'm not worried about ir distance as I plan to supplement by have a ir flood light in one of trees to illuminate the area of capture.
I just need a better zoom. Here's a sample from the camera
You can see it's pretty decent but plate minder rarely, if ever, gets a complete plate. Usually only half of it. I feel a better zoom is the fix.
If ptz is the only option what's the going standard camera for a high zoom ptz?
