Isn't any camera with low enough angle good for license plate reading with additional software?

You can have license plate readers at home if you want (years ago I confirmed that everything existed to measure the speed of cars driving past my house using common cameras, image recognition, and software). I never actually put it together and maybe should try with AI now.

The missing link is the easy database to pull it all up in a moments notice as opposed to subpoenaing footage all over the city and digging through it.
