No off-street parking.
i've got an itronics, which also does 1080p recording. I've managed to get a good recording off a dangerous driver that was clear enough to pull a screen capture of a clearly legible number plate. So yes they are good enough to capture plates, but it has to be a good angle and fairly close. If we're talking parallel parking directly in front of your car then yes it should definitely give you a clear capture.

However, lazy police department did not follow up on my report. go figure
