Security cameras

[ldoyle]

Due to a rash of car break ins , mail theft and property theft since that idiot Austin mayor instilled camping anywhere for the homeless , I have installed 6 different cameras and although I have captured many criminal acts and vehicles , I still can`t identify a individual or auto positively . I even put up a trail camera and like the other cameras get some decent photos , just not enough . All the pictures that would show a license plate in day light , just show a reflective glare at night . I assume because of the IR reflecting off the auto plates . Anyone know of a camera that might take photos of auto plates at night without the glare ? I , (we) are getting so tired of this crap . I give all my photos and movie clips to the detective working the cases in the area , and although he really seems to appreciate them , says they just don`t make a positive identification tool . I don`t live in Austin city limits but seem to get much of their scum . Anybody have any suggestions that might help , I mean besides a 9mm ?

Reconyx security cameras are made specifically to capture license plates. Just be aware they are pricey... Here is a link

Which cameras are you using now?

To get more details make sure it is at least 1080, and remember the wider field of view the less details you will get.

Also, avoid Arlo.

I’ve got Reolink security cameras and love them. They are 5 mp infrared. Amazon.com

Curious what's wrong with Arlo?

Blink xt. Put them in your tree if you have one close enough to get good signal.

I have Lorex and Blink. They actually take pretty clear photos but in some locations it seems like it's too far to get good detail. One camera took a good video of a person in my wife's car that the detective said would be the one they could use. The trail cam was in a bush by the road and had it been daylight would have have taken a good picture of the car plates. I do not think they are HD cameras or 1080 resolution. I will try moving one of the Blink to a tree if it will connect to module. I hate to go to the expensive units , but there's a reason they are expensive
