    License plate reader just means it is a higher class of camera with a good enough sensitivity+extremely low exposure time to read license plates (license plates are really hard to read especially in the dark due to their reflectivity+the speed of the cars).

    So it doesn't mean they are only for license plates, it means it is a higher class of camera than your standard cctv camera.
