the camera is around 1'-2' off the ground, looking forward so after you go through the ezpass it takes a picture of the rear tag.

I have a truck account so I had one of my Z pass transponders registered for my Dads motorhome. one day he got a letter in the mail that he ran through the system without paying, it include a picture of a JEEP that had a tag that was 1 number different than Dads motorhome. I had to call them and find a human to talk to. after an hour of playing phone games I finally got someone. they looked at the same picture on file, said they were sorry and that was it.
But the picture was a very low angle looking at the rear tag. it was taken somewhere up in NJ.
PS: in PA, ezpass said that if I was towing campers, I needed a commercial account. that required keeping $1K in the ezpass account in reserve. so I went with NJ ezpass which gives me a truck transponder without the $1K requirement.
No idea what the difference is in the transponder but I tried to put a truck one in my jeep and they said no. they sent me a new one, looked exactly the old ones.
