Using the Wyze Cam OG Telephoto for license plate capture

Ask the State of California. They use cameras to take a picture of your car and license plates every time you cross a toll bridge so they can send you a bill if you don’t have an electronic pass. They put a lot of toll takers out of a job, I liked some of those people… :expressionless:

I’d like to capture license plates at 100 feet for cars going approx 30mph.

So… the OG telephoto has no zoom feature, unlike the old skool V1 and V2 cams? I like the zoom on those cams.

Get a cop car. :rofl:

The zoom feature in the V2 and the V3 cameras is strictly digital. To capture license plates, you need true optical zoom. Otherwise you do not have enough pixels on target for the plate.

You won’t be able to read plates at 100 feet unless Wyze introduces a 10 X optical zoom version of the Telephoto.

As a user of the Zoom OG, I want a separate stream I can run through ALPR programming to log the date, time, photo and number plate physically at the camera. This type of information is beneficial to neighbours.
