A license plate security camera gives you the evidence you need when it matters most. Whether you're protecting your driveway, monitoring a car park, or keeping watch over a business entrance, KeldCo's cameras are built to capture sharp, readable footage of every vehicle that passes through.
No blurry stills. No missed moments. No subscription fees — ever.
KeldCo was founded by Erin and Josh Salkeld after experiencing break-ins firsthand. They built a system that works for real people, in real conditions, with full accountability and no ongoing costs eating into your budget.
Standard security cameras are great for general surveillance, but capturing a readable license plate requires a specific combination of resolution, focal length, and placement. A purpose-fit license plate security camera ensures you get usable footage — not just a blurry image of a car driving past.
High-resolution sensors capture fine detail even at a distance
Wide dynamic range handles harsh headlights and low light conditions
Optimised frame rates reduce motion blur on moving vehicles
Local storage means footage stays in your hands, not on someone else's server
No monthly subscription — your footage, your property, your control
KeldCo cameras are designed to perform in the conditions Australians and homeowners worldwide actually face — intense sun, overnight darkness, coastal humidity, and unpredictable weather. Every camera is weather-rated and engineered for consistent, long-term performance without the need for costly maintenance contracts or cloud subscriptions.
The key to useful license plate footage is making sure your camera can capture the full frame of a passing vehicle with enough clarity to read the plate. KeldCo's lineup is built with this exact challenge in mind.
Full-colour day footage with crisp contrast and detail
Infrared night vision keeps coverage consistent after dark
Colour night vision options available for well-lit entry points
Wide dynamic range prevents overexposure from headlights
Solar-powered models eliminate the need for wiring runs
Wi-Fi connectivity for easy setup and remote access
Adjustable mounting angles for precise plate coverage
Suitable for driveways, gates, car parks, and business entries
Whether you're mounting above a garage, along a fence line, or at a gated entry, there's a KeldCo model suited to the placement you need.
When you need cameras that reliably capture vehicle detail, these are the models worth looking at:
The Solar Camera Pro 3.0 Wi-Fi delivers high-resolution footage around the clock, runs entirely on solar power, and stores footage locally — making it an excellent choice for driveways and entry points without easy access to power.
The Solar Camera Pro 2.0 4G is ideal for remote locations or properties without reliable Wi-Fi, using a 4G connection to keep you covered no matter where you install it.
The Home Guardian Indoor Camera is perfect for monitoring indoor car parks, basement garages, or covered driveways where environmental exposure is less of a concern.

Choosing the right license plate camera isn't just about picking the highest megapixel count. Here's what actually matters when making your decision:
Resolution is important, but placement matters more. Even a high-resolution camera will produce unusable plate footage if it's mounted too far away, at the wrong angle, or pointed into direct sunlight. Plan your camera's position before you buy.
Focal length affects field of view. A narrow focal length (telephoto) is better for capturing plates at a distance, while a wider focal length covers more area but may reduce plate legibility from far away. Think about your specific driveway or entry point dimensions.
Wide dynamic range is non-negotiable for driveways. Headlights at night and bright sun during the day both cause overexposure that can wash out a plate entirely. Look for cameras that specifically mention WDR or HDR capability.
Local storage protects your evidence. Cloud storage platforms can go down, require subscriptions, or limit how long footage is retained. KeldCo cameras store footage locally on SD card or NVR, so your footage is always accessible and stays under your control.
Frame rate affects readability. A camera capturing at a low frame rate may miss the moment the plate is fully in frame. Look for cameras with at least 15–25fps for moving vehicles.
Legal considerations vary by region. In most countries, recording video on your own property and public-facing areas is legal, but pointing a camera directly into a neighbour's private space may not be. Always check your local regulations before installing.
KeldCo was built by people who understand what it feels like to be vulnerable. After Erin and Josh Salkeld experienced break-ins personally, they set out to create security cameras that actually solve the problem — without locking you into expensive subscriptions or leaving you reliant on someone else's cloud server.
Every KeldCo camera is Australian owned and operated, backed by real support from real people, and built to give you total accountability over your own security footage. No monthly fees. No third-party data handling. No compromise.
When you buy KeldCo, you're not just buying a camera — you're backing a team that has your back.
Yes, security cameras can capture license plates clearly when they are properly set up for the task. Standard wide-angle cameras often struggle because they prioritise covering a large area rather than capturing fine detail. For reliable plate capture, you need a camera with sufficient resolution, an appropriate focal length for the distance involved, and wide dynamic range to handle varying light conditions — particularly headlights at night or direct sun glare during the day. Placement angle also matters significantly; mounting a camera at the right height and angle to face approaching vehicles rather than their side profile makes a major difference in legibility.
The effective range of a license plate camera depends on its resolution, lens type, and the size of the plate in the frame. Most residential-grade license plate cameras reliably capture readable plates at distances of 3 to 10 metres. Dedicated LPR (license plate recognition) systems used in commercial or law enforcement settings can operate at greater distances, sometimes 20 metres or more, because they use specialised lenses and higher-end sensors. For home driveways, positioning your camera to capture vehicles at the 3–8 metre range is the practical sweet spot for consistent, clear results.
In most jurisdictions worldwide, deliberately obscuring, altering, or using covers designed to make a license plate unreadable — including so-called "anti-camera" plates or sprays — is illegal. License plates are required to be clearly visible under traffic laws in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and most of Europe. Using products intended to defeat camera detection can result in fines, licence suspension, or other penalties. If you notice vehicles on your property with plates that appear deliberately obscured, that in itself can be valuable evidence worth reporting to authorities alongside your camera footage.
Entry-level residential license plate cameras can start from around $80–$150 AUD for basic models, while mid-range options with better resolution, night vision, and weather resistance generally fall in the $150–$400 range. Professional-grade LPR systems used in commercial settings or by councils can cost significantly more, often running into the thousands when combined with software and infrastructure. For most homeowners, a well-positioned mid-range camera like the KeldCo Solar Camera Pro 3.0 offers an excellent balance of performance and value — with no subscription costs adding to the total over time.
Yes, police and law enforcement agencies worldwide use automated license plate recognition (ALPR or ANPR) technology extensively. These systems are mounted on patrol vehicles, at fixed road locations, and near key infrastructure to automatically scan and cross-reference plates against databases in real time. In Australia, state and federal police use ANPR technology for identifying unregistered vehicles, stolen cars, and persons of interest. While consumer license plate cameras serve a different purpose — recording footage for personal review rather than automatic recognition — the footage they capture can be directly shared with police as evidence following an incident, making them a genuinely valuable tool for homeowners and businesses.
