Great report, I'm sure it will be under-read and sink into oblivion; but one nit-pick is you state "Genetec requires IR reflective plates, something not common in the region we tested (PA / NJ / NY)."
There are actually only 2-3 states in the US that are not IR reflection coated (Colorado? Dakotas? - I forget the list, but NY/PA/NJ are all reflective).
That also doesn't mean that they can identify the plate state any better.

Very comprehensive report. Thank you Ethan. Genetec now also offers the option to be able to use certain off the shelf cameras (AXIS P3364-LVE, AXIS P1425-LE, AXIS Q1765-LE, Panasonic WV-SFV 631L, Sony SNC-EB632R, Sony SBC-VB632D) for low speed LPR applications using the same AutoVu brains in the back end. This can be done using their new AutoVu Plate Reader Cloud Plugin or by using an on-premise server based solution. Works great for entry and exit driveways or slow speed parking applications.

Does anyone know if a Genetec AutoVu camera can be connected to a Milestone Corporate system via ONVIF etc?
