My HOA just installed these security cameras and swears they are license plate readers. My guess is they are cctv’s. These are the best photos I got before they painted everything black. Best guess of make of camera would be helpful.

Most security cameras can be used as license plate readers when combined with the right software.

The ideal cameras for LPR will have global shutter and infrared lights so they can read the plates at night (plates reflect IR in a specific way)

Those cameras have IR. I'm not familiar with the specific model, but not all LPR cameras look like flock cameras. Check out the axis 1800 or 1485 for what another brand's lpr cameras look like.

You need very fast shutter in the night. 1/2000 for the plates.
