This is not a complaint just a question, we bought 2 different types of camera's from you,

which we thought would pick up number plates on

cars, unfortunately neither camera does this, is this because the camera's

are not powerful enough, or do you need to move them very close

to the object that you are trying to identify at the moment they positioned

just below the gutters all around the house, with the drive being

only a matter of about 12 feet away from this particular camera.

The other thing is, the 2 bullet camera's do not give as clear a picture as the cheaper

dome camera's overall the camera's are good but just

don't pick up the details as we had hoped!

Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be very appreciated.

the secware unit is our own brand, the other unit is a branded unit. We test all secware own brand items to ensure they function well.

 

to capture reg plates the cameras need to be fairly square to the target, and zoomed to view about 2 car widths.

It also depends on your dvr.

the following sizes apply to dvrs

CIF = 360 x 288 pixels which is 0.1 mega pixel

2CIF = 704 x 288 pixels which is 0.2 mega pixel

4CIF or D1 = 704 x 576 pixels which is 0.4 mega pixel

960h = 960 x 576 pixels which is 0.55 mega pixel

 

Then you move into the HD cameras

720 HD = 1280 x 720 pixels which is  0.92 mega pixel

1080 HD = 1920 x 1080 pixels which is 2 mega pixel

 

As you can see modern HD cameras and dvr's can resolve much more detail.

It allows wider views with more detail than older PAL based dvr's
