RE: Car number plate capture/recognition

["David Yeend" <david.yeend@xxxxxxx>]

For simple capture based on a threshold of change etc. there are a number
of inexpensive software products but none will extract the number plate
detail.

To take your example of a blackbird caught in flight you could look for any
of the following:

Video Capturix
Home Watcher

Sorry no links but easy enough to find.

Yikes!  Well, I was hoping for a fairly simple DIY solution, just
using
the camera, video capture card, and maybe some smart software.

I remember seeing a blackbird caught in mid-flight on somebody's
system,
which I thought might be the sort of system I'd need to capture short
bursts of video for anything passing in front of the house.

Well, if there's nothing easy or cheap out there, maybe I should look
into doing something myself.  Time to start reading up on video
capture
and processing I think :-)
