Review: Best long distance camera yet for PoE users - Using as a camera for a mailbox 300 ft from house. The strong zoom works great -- note this is intended as a "set and forget" zoom, not a "zoom in and out routinely" zoom. Has near and far IR illuminators, though they're really only useful at min aperture for license plates. Best to leave the iris open and minimize the IR as they haze the night picture badly. Only complaint is that one time, I woke up and the camera was spontaneously out of focus. Rebooted and it refocused fine. Not sure what happened, but I can tolerate a glitch once in almost a year of use. Great GREAT night vision -- with a dim street light, I'm getting full color at night without the need for IR, and that's even with a decent shutter speed.
Review: Follow the setup advice from other reviews and works excellent for LPR - Read the "most helpful" reviews here for setup and settings advice and this works great as an LPR camera, day or night, even with little illumination, for vehicles traveling ~15mph (turning onto our private road). Couple of things I didn't see mentioned elsewhere: * Don't forget to set the "daylight savings time" parameters in Settings otherwise your timestamps will be off by an hour * The UI for retrieving clips is cumbersome, as most recent clips are presented last, and the format is dav, which I was not familiar with but I guess is standard for security cameras * Recommend combining it with a few python scripts (ask your favorite AI) to extract jpg frames from dav files and use a "voting mechanism" to extract the most likely license plate, should you need it to be automated in some way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best long distance camera yet for PoE users
*by K***D on November 25, 2025*

Using as a camera for a mailbox 300 ft from house. The strong zoom works great -- note this is intended as a "set and forget" zoom, not a "zoom in and out routinely" zoom.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow the setup advice from other reviews and works excellent for LPR
*by D***D on July 5, 2026*

Read the "most helpful" reviews here for setup and settings advice and this works great as an LPR camera, day or night, even with little illumination, for vehicles traveling ~15mph (turning onto our private road). Couple of things I didn't see mentioned elsewhere: * Don't forget to set the "daylight savings time" parameters in Settings otherwise your timestamps will be off by an hour * The UI for retrieving clips is cumbersome, as most recent clips are presented last, and the format is dav, which I was not familiar with but I guess is standard for security cameras * Recommend combining it with a few python scripts (ask your favorite AI) to extract jpg frames from dav files and use a "voting mechanism" to extract the most likely license plate, should you need it to be automated in some way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great LPR Camera - IF conditions/settings are met
*by I***E on December 22, 2021*

So first off, EmpireTech-Andy is one of the few sellers I trust to order cameras like this repeatedly from, I've never had an issue and I've ordered in the hundreds by now, as well as NVRs. He's quick to answer questions and get back on things that need research, not something you find very often with 3rd party sellers. Onto the camera - Using this for LPR (License plate recognition) is not going to be an install it and forget it situation. The first step before even ordering the camera is understanding the environment you intend to use it in. The angle from the camera to the area where the license plates will be presented, surrounding lighting and height of installation matter, as well as speed of the vehicles. In terms of installation height and angle, the lower to the ground the better - If you got it mounted 30ft up in the air pointing down, you're going to have a bad time. This is why you see in parking garages these are usually only a few feet off the ground and almost directly in front/behind the vehicles. Same thing with the angle, you want to try to be as straight on as possible, if you're coming at a 90 degree angle - You're going to have a bad time. Lighting - While a well lit area isn't 100% required, it does make capture must easier if your other conditions aren't great. If it is pitch black out with zero lighting and your camera isn't setup in an ideal spot with angle,distance and height - it's going to be a bad time. Camera settings - So here is where we get into the fun stuff and it does require some end user adjustment depending on your area. The biggest two things you need to do - Zoom that in until the license plate enters the screen and covers at least half the frame - We need as many pixels as we can. The second aspect to this, shutter speed. 1/30th is just not going to cut it, unless the vehicles are slow moving and you got it lit up like July 4th. We can find shutter speed under the exposure tab in the settings. I suggest starting at 1/1000 shutter speed (you'll have to change Mode: to manual) and possibly going to 1/2000. What this will give you is a VERY dark scene, even if you have some lights around. This is normal and usually when a plate enters the scene, it'll practically glow in the dark. We can start with these settings and sometimes, you get lucky and not have to touch the others. If these still aren't cutting it then we'll need to dip into things like HLC/BLC and brightness, etc. These tend to occur more if you have sub-par lighting and are trying to increase that, or if you're running into lots of glare/washout from headlights. Long story short - these are great cameras when used in the right circumstance, and even in the wrong one, they can be adjusted accordingly. Set your expectations accordingly - You aren't going to capture plates AND get a good surround view of the area both day and night.
