I'm not sure exactly what you are wanting to achieve (permanent

Megapixel IP CCTV camera is probably what is needed. Much more
controllable, with the camera able to do its own motion detection and
record different resolutions at different times.

There's a quiet, but fairly responsive, forum on the site as well

The issue with IP cameras is the compression they use.

The danger is that all the high fequency data is trashed, and therefore the
plate in this instance would be illegible anyhow.
