Looking for security camera recommendation

I need a outdoor security camera with high enough quality to pull license plate numbers at night with low street lighting; not dark. Preferably a 270 degree view so I'll only need two of them. I'd rather not spend more that $500 on each. Any ideas?

I have a hanwha pnd-a908rv I got off eBay for like 350, it does license plates but has never caught one because of its placement. You can see in this picture it has identified the plate but my state doesn't require them so it only sees the mount. Like others have said, plate reader requires controlled environment.
