They can't take every idea, even when they are good ones.
I like your idea, if you could make it more of a turn key system.
I believe the customer would want a photograph of the vehicle, the license plate (in plain text), and time/date, and statistics on how many autos an hour/day/month pass by to add extra value.
It could be sold to gas stations or even city governments for deployment in high crime areas.
It would compliment video tape / dvr systems. If you can get the price below $1,000 then it would be affordable to security conscious companies. It would have to be automated, and be a server so the company can login and view the data.
