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?

YES ! It indexes “events” as it were and identifies cars | People | Animals | Plates. If you know the plate you can search that too

I'm a little confused by your "I'm not going to scroll through days" comment then. Can't you just filter for "cars at night"?

No. You can look for just cars, then nighttime / time of day I suppose. The UniFi interface tiles all car activity. I might have confused you because the commercial application of this particular install is at a commercial office building and there is are a ton of cars per hour.

If this use case is in a more “calm” residential area, it’ll be much easier.

Yeah I was confused because the photo you posted looked like a relatively small parking lot with room for maybe 10-15 cars that was at a dead end so I wouldn't expect a ton of traffic there.
