The $579 special. You get one camera and a DVR with Hard Drive installed for $579 plus tax.
The $1179 special. You get 2 cameras and a DVR with Hard Drive installed for $1179 plus tax. The cameras are 540 LOR (lines of resolution), weatherproof, vandal proof, and have IR which means they can see in absolute darkness. Your DVR is 8-channel which means you’ll have room for 6 more cameras should you need them at a later date.
When talking about LPR technology, we must differentiate between an LPR camera and an LPR system.
An LPR camera is a special camera with onboard software for both “digital masking” and HSBLC (high suppression back light compensation). These are the two technologies used to be able to see licens plates clearly at night and to counteract headlights which are very powerful and add extreme contrasts to the image field.
An LPR system is a system that employs an LPR camera but in addition has some type of recognition software.
I can set you up with an LPR camera for a little over $400 that is limited in being only effective during the day or the night, not both, depending on the lighting situation where you want the traffic monitored.
Good question, here’s the answer ...
Real light is always better than IR light. If it is cost effective, always install floodlights for nighttime use.
In many cases this is not practical or aesthetically pleasing, this is why we have IR. When your IR cameras photo-electric sensor detects a loss of light, the IR LEDs start emitting. The video actually turns to Black & White at this point.
I have done some work at a prestigious fuel company in Pflugerville. They’ve got a Lorex DVR and it works good. The problem is, the cameras. They’re not really waterproof. Waterproofing is all relative, however weather resistance has been standardized and the pervasive IP66 rating is what you would want if the camera was going to be outside.
