Zoom lens to read license plates (daytime)

The forum won’t let me put two images in my post, but here’s how the same angle appears on a Nest IQ with its normal wide angle lens and the image quality set on [High]. Yup, the Nest IQ and Wyze v2 are mounted right right next to each other.

The on-coming white SUV you see in the first picture is the same vehicle as this image from the Nest camera. By the time the SUV gets closer to the Nest IQ, it’s somewhat perpendicular to the camera and there’s no way to read the front license plate.

Thanks to users like cwalmquist and Siegelracing who had linked information in some of the other threads here!

Here’s the other thread about the topic… but it got a bit side-tracked with pictures of chickens haha.

Haha, I just saw jrodricks posted this same premise (although for monitoring a swing) yesterday!
