Those are screen grabs from the original uncompressed video.

To answer your question - yes you can see more accumulated data from a moving picture, but in this case of 720p it would help, but in a lower res... there still would not be sufficient data to read a plate. No matter how hard you tried. I only run 720p for the 60 fps aspect... I could easily run 1080p and from my early diagram posted... its easy to see how much more surface area there is PLUS - and this is important. The 1080p option has less of a viewing angle. That means whatever is on screen isn't sharing space with a larger viewing area. Basically means even more detail than just upping the screen size.
