Can this pick up license plates well? Most cameras are miserable or very blurry when it comes to being able to read plates.

The cam has an HD setting and with the proper zoom setting I do not see why not

Yes, but it has to be a good day. This wee device has a very good quality picture

Yes it can & a good system at this price point, Night vision isn't good on fast moving objects and you can't read a car's license plate if moving. But you would pay big bucks for that type of system. Hookup is easy. My receiver was a brick wall and a drywall away. approx 35ft. works great

I am sure it will work. You will have to remember that the picture will be askew to the left. They sell reverse cameras that do not mount on the license plate frame. That may require a custom install.

NO , it will not . it is transparent enough for the camera to "unfortunately " get an almost perfect photo of your plate.

yes but be warned, this is not a license plate recognition camera if thats what you intend to use it for.

Yes. The right lens can actually see license plate in front of you. Don't use night mode. Mine freezes up when I do

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.

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.

The image from these cameras is clearer than any of the other SD-grade cameras we use (mostly Panasonic BB-HCM511As and similar). I have four in use at my facility and I just checked them all to see if any of them had a good angle on a license plate. Unfortunately they didn't, but based on what I've seen in the past, assuming the camera is set on its highest resolution, plates are legible at 30 feet (plus 20 feet vertical differential) or more, depending on the style of plate. Also, I have seen a few frame-grabs in which plates on a moving vehicle were legible, but it's rare.

We are not sure about that. We recommend you buying a license plate relocator

Currently own 5 of these cameras. Daytime image quality is amazing, nightime image quality is very good. To read a license plate - I would say you could probably read one on a stopped vehicle at 50' They will not let you read one on a moving vehicle.

I cannot answer how it performs vs a license plate camera, but it does have a great field of view, and worked excellent at night. I had taken rubber trailer hitch cover and drilled a hole it it and mounted the camera in there so I did not have to drill holes in the bumper or body. This was a great solution for my Chevy Avalanche.

get a go pro. much easier to mount and deal with. this camera isn't sturdy enough for a race car. if you're mounting it in a daily driver it should work but not bumpin' around a track.

As per BestBuy technician, he replaced license plate light with camera. I think it will be ok.If it does not work, you can just return it. I hope this is a proper answer for you.

Not sure where you saw "stamp", but the license plate designation means this camera has high enough definition to read license plate numbers when playing back the recording. Basically letting you know this is true 1080 HD. Cheaper cameras that take a low definition recording and upconvert them to be 1080 are impossible to read the license plate numbers.

Camera resolution is poor with cameras that come with unit. My suggestion is to get the better cameras. Yo can make out vehicle type but no way to read the lichens plates. Also inferred light is poor only good for 10 feet. and after a year gets much less than that.. Almost like they wear out and loose power.

No. Unless you have a very steady hand, the photos will come out blurry if the scanner moves off from a straight line in the slightest bit.
