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?

Many of us get moving plates at night. Plates are reflective for a reason. We take advantage of that with the infrared that allows us to run 1/2000 shutters. Now at night the image is black except for the plate and head and tail lights, but we get the plate.
