What is the best camera to take images of license plates at night

Hello. I would like to set a hidden camera at the entrance of the property to catch license plates of the vehicles entering the driveway. I will have to run poe cable to the entrance but I am uncertain about the best camera model for the job. I am thinking about hiding it inside a birdhouse and pointing it toward the property . Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Home security camera question

I have a security camera set up in my living room. I allowed my ex-wife to come over when I was gone to intercept a package. I noticed when I checked the camera I did see her walking around looking for the package. She found the package and little after that the camera stopped recording. Did she hack into my camera and turned it off? How did she do this? And it’s not by coincidence that it stopped working by accident while she was here. Can I get some help around here, please!

How do dealers make money from installing Ubiquiti cameras?

We are an access control integration company who is looking to add security cameras to our offering. We are looking for one cloud-based option and one non-cloud.

Looking at Ubiquiti cameras, customers can buy direct, and for dealers, looking at ADI, there is only a 7-10% margin. Dealers who install Ubiquiti, are you only making your money on labor/cable?

We are looking for a non-cloud based option that is easy for installation and for the end user.

Eufy vs. Reolink wireless

So i bought a 2 e42 eufy camera kit from Amazon and after reading more on this sub im wondering whats people's thoughts eufy vs. The equivalent wifi kit for reolink, im thinking of going with reolink instead and returning the eufy kit. I know PoE is better but we don't want to go drilling and running cables in our new house we just moved into. The reolink base seems to use a 3.5 inch hard drive instead of a 2.5 that eufys home bade base uses. We are currently looking for maybe a 2 camera set up and doorbell system that is not subscription based.

Thanks all!

No monthly fees?

I’m looking to set up two cameras in my home a couple of times a year (when I’m alone in the house) to monitor door entries on the first floor (so I can see from my bed on the second floor)… I would want to be able to watch from my iPhone…. And occasionally will watch when I’m out of the house to make sure my puppy is ok.

I’ve been looking at cheap (less than $50) cams on Amazon. Is there one you would recommend that doesn’t require a monthly fee? I don’t need it to record, but would love to be notified if there’s motion. Or maybe it would record only if it senses motion?

Feel free to warn me against brands that you don’t recommend as well. Thank you so much.
