An LPR camera is designed to read a license plate only. When a license plate passes by the camera, the reflective
lm on the plate will be reected back to the camera which gives youthe good clear shot of the plate. You will
ONLY capture an image of the plate.
US license plates need to be at least 216 pixels wide. This translates roughly into an image no wider than 5-6 feet
assuming 1944p standard denition video.
THE CAMERA SHOULD BE MOUNTED AT AN ANGLE NO GREATER THAN 30 DEGREES
1
The LPR camera should be mounted at a height between 3~8 ft., and a distance no greater than 80 ft.
from the target area. Exceeding the distance recommendations may result in a poor quality image of
moving license plates.
2
Ensure that the camera angle is no more than 20° degrees (horizontally) 30° degrees (vertically) from the
target area.
3
It is recommended to position a license plate or vehicle to reflect the IR light of the camera while adjusting
the camera’s focus of the target area.
4
After mounting the camera, you can press the Zoom Lens Button (located on the underside of the camera)
to sequentially zoom and auto-focus the camera. Alternatively, the camera’s web GUI or management
software can be utilized as well. The longer the Zoom Lens button (T-W jog button) is pressed down, the
further the lens module will zoom.
5
Please note that the cameras ship with focus in Manual mode. To change the camera’s focus to Auto, enter
the camera’s web GUI and use the +/- zoom buttons on the left of the camera image.
