How about from the house but angled to where you won't miss the cross street? The z12 zoomed in will work at that angle. Isn't ideal, but it would work. Mine is worse angle than this. I think your angle at the intersection would get blocked by the tree blowing in wind at times as well.

Nothing a fake fire hydrant can't fix lol.
I think at 250 with the trees it would be a tough shot. It may work, but you would want a Plan B in the event it doesn't.
Is that a tree in your front yard you could put it to?
Is that a varifocal cam? If so, zoom it in as far as it will go and see what the plates look like. If you like the view it is giving, don't replace it. Mount whatever cam you decide right next to it.What if I replaced this camera on the very edge of house
Maybe I need to be a little more concise. Zoom in as far as it will go and maybe you can get an idea of how foreshortened the plate is. Not saying a 12mm would work in that distance.I doubt a 12mm would pick it up at that distance
I may have come up with a solution. What if I replaced this camera on the very edge of house to shoot right over my driveway where no one can park in front of?
