In need of a security camera - pete456 - Jul 28, 2017

I've been working on a program that will capture licenses plates and convert them to text. Right now I am using my logitech webcam, but after about 2 feet the image goes blurry. I was wondering if anyone might have a suggestion for a different one.

Wouldn't a gopro do a good job at this?

Also what are you doing with the data?

I'm building a system for a camp that will let the ranger know who is entering. Also can gopro's stream?

Get something that ISNT 4K.
Get a 1080p outdoor camera.
Don't get a shitty brand.
Give me a max distance you'll be using it from. Keep in mind the further you go the more expensive.

That should get readable plates at 1-15 meters.
