The cameras will almost certainly be able to read number plates when zoomed in but to cover a large area need to be zoomed out and can be focused to an event when it's ongoing by the CCTV operator.

To capture live video of a full street that is capable of reading VRM's from a distance would be hugely storage hungry.

That said a combined CCTV system with ANPR cameras on streets is realistic.
