Camera Aiming
Camera aiming is essential to maximize the license plate capturing performance of the camera. Proper
aiming ensures that license plates traveling through the camera’s field of view are at an ideal height
and angle to generate an image that is as clear and readable as possible.
3.5.1
Preparing for Camera Aiming
L6Q includes a mobile phone holder to allow for one hand adjustment of the camera.
Procedure:
1
Slide the mobile phone into the included mobile phone holder and hook it onto the lower metal
band tie.
NOTE:
Give the phone holder a light tug to ensure that it is securely hooked on the pole
strap before letting it hang.
3.5.2
Adjusting the Capture Zone
Prerequisites:
When possible, use a test vehicle or hang a license plate in the road at vehicle height
to determine the best capture point. Further adjustments may be necessary to fine-tune aiming after
testing the camera’s capture performance.
Procedure:
1
To adjust the aim, grip the camera firmly with one hand while watching the screen of the mobile
phone.
2
Adjust the camera until the green capture zone on the screen is centered on where the vehicle
license plates will be traveling through the roadway.
NOTE:
When aiming for two lanes, center the green capture zone on the middle of the
roadway between the two lanes.
3
To lock the camera in place, tighten the ball joint.
