Video Quality is determined as follows:
0/5: Poor - It is hard to discern anything in the video 1/5: Mediocre - You can more or less see what's happening, but it is hard to read license plates even of cars that are very close 2/5: Fair - License plate readability of other cars is hit and miss 3/5: Good - Can read all or most license plates of nearby cars by pausing the video 4/5: Very Good - Can read license plates of nearby cars even while driving by, without pausing the video 5/5: Excellent - Truly impressive video
Reliability is determined by user feedback, and by % of buyers that return the device.
All the cameras on this list have a G-sensor, loop recording, date/time stamps, and auto on/off.
