Best camera for detecting license plates on slow but moving cars #44

I have a fairly good view on a road leading up to my house, maybe a 100 meters or so. What camera would everyone suggest to use? 1080P doesn't cut it, I only get a recognition when it's about 6 meters away and pulling in my driveway.

4K ? 8K? any brands or types you have good results with would be appreciated. Or do I need to get a special ANPR camera.

I'd recommend this camera. There is a ton of information on it. But it does appear to be out of stock.

Cool thanks. PS Would any of these settings in frigate itself make a difference to this integration? Specifically frames p/s and car minimum window ? I'm thinking the 5 fps maybe makes the license plates blurry ?

The blurry plates have to do with the cameras shutter speed. I run my lpr at 10 fps. But each environment is different for lpr. Frigate+ also detects the license plate.
