UK question - Automatic Number Plate Recognition - Infra Red ?

The web has lots of info on ANPR but nothing really tells me how it works. As it has to work at night does the camera use an infra-red beam to illuminate the plate. Yes/No ? Even in daylight Yes/No ?

If it does would putting lots of high intensity Infra-red light emitting diodes across the plate defeat the camera. What wavelength LED should be used ?

I tried asking my local police, needless to say they were not helpful.

Yes, it uses infrared at night. No, in daylight the sun provides plenty of that for free.

Although "defeating a camera" would be a technically illegal pastime, you would only be able to perform this illegal activity by night. The wavelength is a non-sequitur for various reasons, which will become apparent as you google it.
