Here are some more information for License Plate:

So, you have a license plate number and want to find out who it belongs to? In the movies, it is always a piece of cake to get this kind of information - it's always a phone call or 5 second web search away.

In reality, I'm sure you will agree that it is not this easy. Firstly, web sites like Google don't have a license plate lookup facility.

Secondly, there is no free website with all of these details made available on the web for you to search through.

With this in mind, it can seem like your options are rather limited.

You can resort to the solutions that were widely used in the past. These include the use of private eyes, or detectives. However, this is a rather expensive way to gather information, and you can find yourself spending hundreds of dollars on what amounts to a few minutes of work.

If you require additional work, such as incriminating photographs or uncovering illegal conduct the private detective is a good option. But for most people, it is simply a case of overkill.

Luckily, there are web sites that you can use that allow you to access a database of personal details filed against license plate numbers. These are 100% legal, and are gathered from public records.

These websites are not free, but they can be very reasonable. For instance, there are sites where you can make as many searches as you want for the rest of your life in exchange for a small registration fee.

Because the information in these license plate lookup sites are updated daily from public records, they are always up to date and likely to provide you with the correct contact information and personal details for the owner of a car.

License Plate Cameras for Vehicle Monitoring

One of the most productive applications for security cameras is the use as a vehicle "License Plate Recorder". This use is consistent with one of the basic principles of visual surveillance: monitor choke points. Gated communities, hotels, parking lots, private estates, and critical infrastructure are all logical markets for license plate recorders. The benefits of this practice include improved security. Upscale businesses also find that they can better serve repeat customers. At, for example, a restaurant's valet parking area, when Mr. and Mrs. Jones arrive, the system can alert the staff so that they can be greeted personally, and their service can be tailored to their particular needs. More sophisticated systems can automatically read the license plate from a graphic to a text signal (Automatic Character Recognition). This allows automated checks against known lists.

All license plates in North America are 12 inches wide and 6 inches in height (300 mm X 150 mm). Lettering heights vary somewhat, with 2.5 inch lettering the most common. Different states use different combinations of letter and number groupings. The requirement of a license plate light has been the law in most states for more than 50 years. 19 States do not currently require a front license plate, and in our current economic environment, this number is likely to grow as states try to reduce cost (each plate cost a little more than $1 to produce).

The location of the recording camera will be dependent on the:

chosen point of monitoring,

mounting location, and

access to facilities including electricity.

The chosen point of monitoring will usually be the entrance or exit (or both) to the area. An ideal location will cause the vehicle to slow, improving the photography, but good quality can be obtained with conventional equipment for vehicles traveling at less than 40 MPH. This slowing mechanism can be a guard arm, a speed bump, or a sharp turn. It is feasible to record the license plate of a fast moving vehicle, but it is more complicated, hence the equipment is more expensive. The width of the traffic lane can complicate the job. A narrow lane reduces the variability of the vehicle and license plate location.

The mounting location will depend on the situation. If the environment is prone to vandalism, mounting the camera out of reach, and/or housing the camera in a vandal resistant enclosure, will reduce the vulnerability. A camera can be installed remote from the chosen point of monitoring by 150-200 feet. The use of a lens can compensate easily. The viewing angle, both horizontal and vertical, from the camera to the automobile should be less than 40 degrees. Larger angles distort the view and make recognition more difficult.

Access to facilities is an important consideration. With current technology, it is possible to install a security camera without any umbilical lines. Power can be supplied by solar energy, and the video signal can be transmitted via Rf signal (radio). However, if possible, keep it simple. Solar panels and Rf transmitters capable of video transmission can be expensive.

A final consideration is video storage. This hardware can be equipped locally, or a coaxial cable can be installed. If frequent review of the imagery is anticipated, the storage should be located in an accessible location, either physically or via a network. Most modern video storage systems (DVR, digital video recorder) are compatible with both LAN and Internet network protocols.
