How well does the camera work at night? What is the maximum distance to clearly show a license plate of a car?

They work really well at night. Depends on the distance and the angle, but generally it does show the licence.

The night vision is just as clear and the daytime light. As far as it maintains vision when your car is in motion. When I am sitting at a traffic light, I can see the car on the opposite site of the light which is more than 10 foot away. You can review the recording on your computer or laptop with the USB cord that comes with the camera unit. It is a little small when reviewing on the camera itself.

Mine does pretty well at night. Depending on your headlights you can probably get license plate number of the car in front of you while at a stop light or stop sign.

It all depends on the angle and if and how fast the car is moving. The camera has very good definition. It is not any special application for license plate recognition

The camera goes wherever your licence plate is mounted by the factory. Otherwise, you will not get the best view.

I have yet to try this camera at night. It does, however, work well in low light conditions. I would say that the range for good images is around 15 feet, but this camera does not have the same high resolution as a normal point and shoot.

Camera seems to be waterproof as I have had it for a year now and it still is fine. I find the image adequate during the day and very good at night. I have installed it on two cars and had great results with both. It has saved me from hitting several things. I recommend and will buy it again if I get another car that doesn't have a backup camera.

I am using two of the cameras on the back of the car mounted on the license plate frame one pointing to the left and the other pointing to the right. This allows me when backing out of a parking space with a SUV parked on either side that is blocking my view to see if any car is approaching. I use two small tv monitors on my center console in fron of my gear shift. I have the cameras and monitors wired for power from the backup lights. The camera angle is pretty wide (about 170 degrees) so i can see reasonably about 100 ft.

I installed camera on rear license plate frame and xmitter to rear lights and mounted under bed in rear. the reciever and display are on the dash of my 30' motor home. I get fairly good reception with a little bit of intermittantcy. not bad for 30' xmission.

You'll pretty much never be able to read license plates at night with a night vision camera due to the night vision LEDs reflecting off the plate and washing it out. License plates are highly reflective, so you'll only be able to read them during the day when the LEDs aren't on.

My camera is at an angle to my driveway, which curves. At the point where the car is heading directly to the camera it is about 75 feet away. I cannot make out the license plate at that distance. As it gets nearer the angle gets sharper so it is still unreadable. My guess would be that about 25 feet would be the max for reading a license plate, and that's only if it is not moving too much.

I use it for driving cam for my truck. I haven't use it for personal photo or personal recording. What I can see is that when driving, even if I tailgate the car in front, I still can't see the license plate. But if I were to park and the car is in front I can see it just fine. This is due to the resolution of the camera. Also the battery did last about hour and a half when I first got it, but about 3month of use the battery life is down to less then 15minutes then it goes dead. I don't use this any more. I went and bought completely different camera.

If the license plate is close to the camera, and the camera is zoomed to the maximum, you'll be able to read it. You need to specify the distance between camera and the plates and the zoom to determine if the plates will be read. I can capture and read plates with a similar resolution from about 40-50 feet away when zoomed all the way in.

Night vision appears to be very good under most conditions - as long as there is SOME street lighting. But on a very dark road the "range" is quite short to the rear. Front is good due to headlights.

I took images at a night party and got mixed results. If too far away,then the flash is not strong enough. but 2-3 feet away, it overpowers It is not the camera's best feature to be sure.

The one I installed seems to work as well when it is dark outside as daytime..It does vision cars at my gate well and also sees raindrops when it is raining.. It is a great camera for its price.. the only thing it does not have that I wish it had is audio.. bUt there are other cameras that have audio but the prices are much higher..

It is not that great. There is not that much reflection from the plastic dome when using IR, the camera + IR focus is weak. I have my car parked in the drive way and I cannot make out the license plate at all during the night with the IR.
