Where to begin for a license car plate recognition system

I am interested in creating a car plate license recognition system for my university carpark system. How do I begin or where should i start? I have done some research on various ways that can be taken such as using OpenCV, ALPR, etc. But I am a begineer in image processing with no prior knowledge so I am not sure where or how I should begin. I just need some guide on where to start.

  1. Which image recognition is the most suitable or easy to implement between OpenCV, ALPR, PyTessract, etc.
  2. Would the CCTV camera at the entrance be suffice to be able to scan the carplate efficiently or a good camera is needed?
  3. Using any of the softwares in my first question, is it possible to build a GUI for it instead of just using a command line to generate the output.
  4. I have tried to search for resources online but it is very scattered everywhere. I am a bit lost on how or where i should start. Which programming language would be suitable? Python, C++, Java?
