I’m looking for suggestions for camera, specifically cameras actually offering 1080p/4k. One major issue I’ve come across with every single camera I’ve encountered, fixed/interior/exterior/wired/dashcams, is that regardless of the alleged video specification, the actual output is always 40p (not a typo) for anything further than 5 feet away. I’m not entirely sure what causes this, but my specific use case is as follows:

Neighbors with extremely loud vehicles, revving engines irresponsibly, even going so far as to perform burnouts on the front street. By the time I’m able to get to a window/outside, they are long gone so I cannot get documentation of these events. I’m hoping to install at least one camera with continuous recording that can both capture these events as well as the license plates of the involved vehicles.

The front side of my house is ~30 feet from the edge of the street. I do have a second story window with a decent view so an interior camera could also work. With distance to the street as well as the angle of mounting, I’d say I’d require a camera capable of reading license plate information at about 50-80 feet away. Fixed zooming is fine as I wouldn’t require an incredibly wide view.

I have a NAS unit with SMB share that can be used for storage as well as nearby network run so an IP camera would also be the ideal candidate. I don’t have experience with DVR or camera storage requirements so I’m not sure what these would actually look like.

Thank you in advance.
