Are license plates easily legible in the video this camera produces?

Yes you can. When you review your footage on the camera or the computer you can see plates very clearly.

I'm not familiar with the tag placement since I live in CA & our tags are in the top but as long as the license plate is a standard size it shouldn't interfere with seeing them. It is just like any other license plate frame, so if you see other people in your area with them I would assume it is fine. The lettering is on the frame itself. Hope that helps!

Totally. Use the camera own software for processing the image and gps data together. It superimposes on the video, the gps information related to the scene, i. e., speed, altitude etc. It has basic editing capabilities, but you can always use Imovie or Final Cut afterwardsÁlvaro

The sensors are mounted on the license plate bracket and stick out about an inch from the surface so there is an unobstructed view. To me they are hardly noticeable.

I haven't yet tried the license plate test but for a non HD camera i'm very happy with the daytime image. The night viewing with the IR emitters is also decent and i guess i can see over 100 feet. As you might expect, the nighttime image isn't as good as daytime and not as clear but i can see cars, deer, dogs, people although not with a great amount of detail. For the price, very good. I've ordered more. Amazon has some reviews of this camera. Check them out.If you really need to read plates at any kind of distance you probably need an HD camera. I think they're fairly expensive.

It depends on how far the vehicles are located. My cameras are positioned about 35yards from the parking lot so I'm unable to make out license plate #s. I'd image with software it probably could be done. However, unless the camera is within 30feet or so of the vehicle, it is unlikely you will be able to make out the #. Also, there would need to be a separate light source, such as street lights or a paring lot light. The IR filter does not do much to help any situation. I'd recommend turning it off entirely. If you absolutely need to be able to read license plate numbers from over 30-40ft away, I wouldn't recommend this camera. Hope this helps! It depends on how far the vehicles are located.

Yes, this kit comes with a backup camera that mounts with the top two screws holding the licence plate. Wires then go behind the plate into the trunk to hook up with the back up lights. The video is sent wirelessly to the receiver at the GPS.

It is not that great. There is not that much reflection from the plastic dome when using IR, the camera + IR focus is weak. I have my car parked in the drive way and I cannot make out the license plate at all during the night with the IR.

Yes. I have two of these cameras. One mounted on the license plate bracket of my truck. I can see well behind me, wide and high. Other is mounted rooftop high on my towable RV and I get a very good view of anything behind me. Night time view is not very good on highways as headlights, street lights, etc blind the whole camera. However, if in a place with no bright lights shinning the night view is exceptional. Hope this helps.

Yes, the image is very clear. The camera you select will also influence image quality.

The answer is yes, but depends on the distance of the car plate to the camera. HD 1080p is the best resolution to have a better result. Influential factors remain, distance, angle, vision, car plate color etc.

I hadn't tried it until I saw the question but yes it can. I used my drivers license and got a crystal clear image. I also tried my credit card because I wanted to see if it could scan a card that wasn't exactly flat and got a great image from that as well.

For the price it does everything I thought it would. It may say HD but that is not the case. With the lower resolution and wide angle lens, it is hard to make out license plates unless you are stopped behind them. I got this for proof in case of an accident. Make sure to get a class 6 or higher SD card so you don't get laps in recording when the 1-3 minute has elapsed per recording file.

Yes, it is. And the videos are pretty decent. For a minimum investment, this camera is very good.

If the license plate is close to the camera, and the camera is zoomed to the maximum, you'll be able to read it. You need to specify the distance between camera and the plates and the zoom to determine if the plates will be read. I can capture and read plates with a similar resolution from about 40-50 feet away when zoomed all the way in.

I bought a wired camera that attaches over the licence plate. Had a car audio shop install both GPS and camera as they know tricks to run wires.

My camera is at an angle to my driveway, which curves. At the point where the car is heading directly to the camera it is about 75 feet away. I cannot make out the license plate at that distance. As it gets nearer the angle gets sharper so it is still unreadable. My guess would be that about 25 feet would be the max for reading a license plate, and that's only if it is not moving too much.
