2015 Unit.. More of the same.

[Jason H]

I got a LS460W about 2 weeks ago... Not greatly impressed. I'm not fully sure if the focus issue still exists but the image quality is not what I would expect.. I think due to what others have said here involving exposure time... To be fair US license plates are small compared to those in the rest of the world but they should at least be readable up close which they are not. You have to pretty much be on top of the car to read the plate clearly. Camera build date is 03/2015 and version is HG1503040EN12 / 13E00ECA00A01. I believe I will be send this thing back and ordering a Street Guardian SGZC12SG unless there is something better worth holding out for.

@Jason H, >> Street Guardian SGZC12SG vs LS460W

+ plenty of accessories included in box (reader, CPL, 3m mount, stick)
+ very loud speaker (good quality)
