Don't look directly at the light source of the unit from a short distance (20 cm) for
more than 30 seconds. The light source emits infra-red light unnoticeable to the
human eye but which can damage the retina in case of long exposures.
If you think that the light source is not working properly and you want to check it, use the
diagnosis tool that comes with the unit, set Live Camera on and point the light source to a
reflective object. Another easy method to see the lens working is going to Live Camera and
facing the light source with a digital camera (for instance, any mobile integrated camera). On
the digital camera you will be able to see the led shinning (due to the fact that digital cameras
are infra-red sensitive).

SmartLPR® Access User Manual Basic concepts

1.Introduction
1.1.What SmartLPR® Access is
SmartLPR® Access is a license plate recognition (LPR1 1) system specially designed to be used in
access lanes with barriers.

SmartLPR® Access is based on an All-In-One concept, which embeds in a single equipment all
the operations needed for license plate recognition (image acquisition and further processing),
so that installation becomes much easier compared to systems using separate capture and
process units.

1.2.System description
SmartLPR® Access is composed of a single set of hardware that must be installed in each lane
you want to control.
The device integrates all elements required for I/O signals, communications, lighting of the
area, image capture and processing. The unit includes a remotely adjustable motorized
lens, making zoom and focus configuration easy.

Integrated power supply

No need for an external Status LED
power supply (AC voltage Shows system status
models)

Transmission board Motorized lens

Integrates Ethernet Adjusts the focus and the
communication, digital zoom without the need to
input /outputs, the open the unit
motorized zoom controller
and the Wiegand output
interface

1 LPR is defined as the set of hardware and software elements required to capture the image of a vehicle and then
provide its license number as a text string.

Quercus Technologies 8
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Basic concepts

1.3.Operating Modes
The main purpose of SmartLPR® Access is to provide to the client applicationthe license plates
of the vehicles traveling in the lanes controlled.

The system has different operating modes as follows:

● Software Trigger: the client application notifies SmartLPR® Access of detecting

vehicle presence. The vehicle image is automatically captured and processed. The
results obtained are sent back to the client application.

● Hardware Trigger: SmartLPR® Access receives directly from a sensor, installed

beneath the tarmac, a vehicle presence signal and notifies the client application. Then,
the vehicle image is captured and processed. The results obtained are sent back to the
client application. When the vehicle leaves the lane, the client application is once again
notified.

Special cases:

● Pre-trigger: SmartLPR® Access continually recognizes license plates as vehicles

are approaching and internally stores the best recognition obtained. When the client
application request the license plate, the unit immediately sends it.

Installation scenarios:
◦ This operating mode should be used for those particular cases when the installation
has physical constraints and therefore it is mandatory to place the unit just before
or after the barrier or when the camera needs to be embedded in the
barrier.
◦ However, we recommend using the software or hardware trigger mode whenever
possible.
As this mode works continuously, it is not possible to use it with color plate recognition
models (due to the white light) nor with WL units.

● Pre-arming loop: SmartLPR® Access directly receives from a loop installed at the
beginning of the lane a signal indicating the recognition must start. When the client
application sends a recognition request, SmartLPR ® Access sends the best recognition
result obtained since the recognition process has started.

Quercus Technologies 9
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Basic concepts

Installation scenarios: this mode is exclusively designed for rear plate captures.
This mode adapts a client application that works in software mode, normally
capturing front license plates, to a LPR system that reads rear license plates.
(see section Rear plate capture to know more about this type of installation).

● Free-flow: SmartLPR® Access continuously processes the images provided by the

camera. Every time the unit detects a new license plate, it sends it to the application.

Installation cases:
◦ Use this operation mode ONLY when you absolutely need the unit to work in
continuous mode.
◦ We recommend you to try using the software or hardware trigger mode as much as
possible.
◦ This mode can only be used for standard resolution models (not WL) and for color
units set with normal resolution (not wide).
◦ This mode cannot be applied to vehicles that go faster than 30km/h.
◦ Due to its continuous operation mode, the flash light will always be on. Make sure
that white-light units don't bother the drivers with their light.
◦ The system does not recognize plates at the same time as it streams live images at
the web page with the setup.
◦ The system is optimized to operate with 3 exposure times and it doesn't work with
more than 5 exposure times.
◦ The brightness of the lighting device has been reduced, approximately, at half.

1.4. Available models

There are various SmartLPR® Access models that can adapt to different project demands. The
available models can be classified according to the following criteria:

1.4.1. Housing type or format

● Cabinet: cupboard-like housing to be vertically fixed on the floor. Made of high quality
stainless steel.

● Camera housing: horizontal camera-like housing, useful when the unit must be fixed
on the wall or ceiling.

Quercus Technologies 11
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Basic concepts

1.4.2.Type of lighting
● Infrared: black and white image format; equipped with infrared light source.
● Color: color image format; equipped with visible light source.

1.4.3. Image format

● Normal: image resolution of 752x480. Used in standard lanes.
● High resolution: panoramic image resolution of 1280x600. Useful in special
installation scenarios (wider lanes, road turns, etc. In these cases, our Support
department will advise you on how to install the unit).

Normal 752x480

High resolution 1280x600

For the units with color lighting there is no different model for each resolution, but a unique
model which can be configured with each of them.

1.4.4. Power
● Alternating current: operates on 110Vac or 240Vac networks, on 50Hz or 60Hz.
● Direct current: requires power from an external 12VDC network.

1.4.5. Temperature control

● Without temperature control module: does not provide protection against extreme
temperatures.
● With temperature control module: provides protection against extreme
temperatures and increases its working range.

All models are absolutely compatible (at software level) between them and can be combined in
the same installation without any problem. Check the “Technical Data Sheets” to know the
references and technical specifications for each model.

Quercus Technologies 12
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Basic concepts

1.5. Optional parts

The following parts are available for camera housing models:
● Wall bracket: with rotating and tilting head, allows you to fix the unit on a wall and
position it properly.
● Floor bracket: with rotating and tilting head, allows you to fix the unit to the floor.
● Ceiling bracket: with rotating and tilting head, fixes the unit to the ceiling and helps
position it properly.
● Tube adapter: to be used together with the wall bracket or ceiling bracket, mounts the
unit on any vertical or horizontal pole.

Optional parts for cabinet models:

● Large sunshield, especially useful in rainy areas.

1.6. Integration
SmartLPR® Access communicates with the client application using the protocol described in the
SmartLPR® Programming Manual.

1.6.1. Development Alternatives

The protocol is embedded in C or C++ libraries compatible with Microsoft Windows and
GNU/Linux that make the communication between the client application and different
SmarLPR® Access units easier and add certain functionalities, such as history log.

The advantages and disadvantages of each integration method are described next:

● Class library in C++: dynamically linked library for Windows and GNU/Linux that
provides an object oriented vision of the system. It transparently manages
simultaneous communication with various units.
● Function library in C: dynamically linked library for Windows and GNU/Linux that
provides a function oriented vision of the system. It transparently manages
simultaneous communication with various units and allows programming with C while
keeping the high level vision provided by the C++ library. It can be used with both C
and C++ languages.
● Through SmartLPR® Access-specific UDP protocol: provides the protocol definitions
used in communication in a header file; it also provides help functions and C samples.

Quercus Technologies 13
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Basic concepts

1.7.Updates and compatibility

License plate recognition units in the SmartLPR ® family have a firmware (software run inside
the unit) which can be updated.
The client software is always backwards compatible, meaning you can control all SmartLPR ®
versions by using the latest one.

Each version number of software/firmware is composed of three numbers (for example 2.4.5):
In order to know if a firmware update is compatible with your unit, the current version must be
checked and compared with the update version.

Version Compatible Firmware Update Required

Different first number No 2
--
Same first number Yes Yes
Different second number
Same first and second numbers Yes No
Different third number

2 Compatibility is not excluded but it cannot be guaranteed. Contact with Quercus Technologies Support
Department.

Installation

This section describes how a SmartLPR® unit is installed from the moment you plan its
placement and until it is finally installed.

Quercus Technologies 15
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Installation

2. Installation of the unit

The correct operation of any LPR system depends on several external factors. Most of these
factors can be optimized if considered during the access lanes layout. Quercus Technologies
can guarantee an optimum operation of a SmartLPR ® Access system only if the
access lanes are designed according to the layout described in this chapter.

If there are any physical constraints that make it impossible to observe these guidelines, it is
very important to carry out the installation with the supervision of Quercus
Technologies support department.

2.1.Front plate capture

The following diagram shows the basic setup for an entry or exit lane.

Ticket dispenser

License plate detection area

2,5m / 8 feet

Please note that is extremely important to make sure there are at least 2,5 meters / 8 feet
between SmartLPR® Access and the nearest point where plates are captured. For further
technical advice on unit's installation, please go to 7 Installation advice.

Quercus Technologies 16
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Installation

2.2.Rear plate capture

Ticket dispenser Barrier

LPR Sensor Presence detction

2,5m / 8 feet

In installations for rear plate capture, we recommend installing a presence detector before the
one installed in line with the ticket dispenser. In this way you make sure that the camera
captures the license plate when the vehicle releases the first sensor (called “LPR sensor” in the
drawing).
The LPR sensor should trigger the camera when released. Both Pre and Post captures can be
used depending on the system options.

Quercus Technologies 17
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Installation

2.3. Front plate capture in Free-flow and Pre-trigger modes

Detection area

3m /10 feet 2,5m /8 feet

In free-flow and pre-trigger mode, the unit should be installed to capture images located in a
3-meter range and up to 2,5 meters from the unit. This means the unit will start capturing
plates at 5,5 meters from it, will continue capturing for a 3-meter range and will stop capturing
at 2,5 meters from the unit (the unit will capture for a 10-feet distance until reaching the point
of 8 feet from the unit). This means, you should adjust the unit to capture plates in a range
between 5,5 and 2,5 meters (18 and 8 feet).

Quercus Technologies 18
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Installation

2.4. Rear Plate Capture in Free – flow or Pre-trigger modes

In free-flow and pre-trigger mode, the unit should be installed to capture images located
starting at 2,5 meters from the camera and will keep on capturing images until reaching a 5,5
meter distance from the unit. This means, you should adjust the unit to capture plates in a
range between 2,5 and 5,5 meters (18 and 8 feet).

Detection area

2,5m /8 feet 3m /10 feet

2.5. Rear Plate Capture with Pre-arming Loop

Barrier

LPR Loop Arming Loop

Distance of largest vehicle to be recognized + 60 cm (2 feet)

For rear plate captures with Pre-arming loop, the distance between the LPR loop (the first
presence detection sensor) and the arming loop (the second presence detection sensor) should
be as large as the largest vehicle to be recognized + 60 cm (2 feet).

Quercus Technologies 19
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Installation

2.6.Electrical installation and cables needed

Each SmartLPR® Access recognition unit must have the following cables:
● Power cable: 3x1.5mm2 or 3x2.5mm2 section cable (alternating current) or
2x1.5mm2 (direct current).
● Shielded Network cable: UTP cable, category 5 (ethernet networking).

4.3. Focus
To adjust the camera follow the next steps:
1. Connect the unit to power.
2. Connect the crossover cable to the unit and the laptop.
3. Switch on the laptop and go to the web browser.
4. Go to http://<IP address of the unit> (see it on the label).
5. Type the password, "quercus 2" to enter setup.
6. Select the unit you want to adjust.
7. Place a license plate or a car centered on the lane at the beginning of the presence
loop (usually in front of the ticket dispenser) and make sure the license appears in the
center of the image. Follow the next steps:

Cabinet models:
● Leave the screws that fix the cabinet on the floor untighten.
● Rotate the cabinet until the license plate you see in the image is slightly oriented
to the opposite side of the camera. For instance, if you have installed the camera
on the right (taking as reference the way vehicles enter) side of the lane, the
license has to be slightly on the left of the image. On the contrary, if the camera
is installed on the left side of the lane, the license in the picture has to be on the
right.

Quercus Technologies 32
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Installation

● Tighten the screws and firmly fix the cabinet on the floor.

Camera housing models:

● Loosen the screws of the swivel head.
● Rotate the unit until the license plate you see in the image is slightly oriented to
the opposite side of the camera. For instance, if you have installed the camera
on the right (taking as reference the way vehicles enter) side of the lane, the
license has to be slightly on the left of the image. On the contrary, if the camera
is installed on the left side of the lane, the license in the picture has to be on the
right.
● Tighten the screws again.
8. From the "Camera" tab of the selected unit, use the +/- controls to set the focus and
the zoom (the license plate must be in the center and the image sharp). Check section
Lens adjustment to know how to correctly use these adjustment options. Adjust the
zoom and the focus until you get a license plate at a ¼ scale to the whole image. (The
size of the license plate you see on the image should have approximately 140-150
pixels from first to last character.) (for standard resolution images)
9. Make sure that the adjustment covers all the positions in which a license plate can
appear.
Click on "Recognize" to read the license plate and check if the recognition system is
working in any lane position.

4.4. Closing the unit

Once the installation is done, follow these steps:
1. Remove the network crossover cable from the laptop.
2. Connect the network cable.
3. For the cabinet models, put the lid of the unit back in place.

5.4. Configure the units

To configure each unit go to the button menu at the top left corner of the screen. Click on
"Configuration". There are various submenus with different configuration variables. It is very
important to click "Save changes" to save the changes made in each submenu.
● COMMUNICATIONS:
● Gateway: gateway to Internet access. Used when the central system is out of the
local network of the unit, otherwise it can be left pointing to “127.0.0.1”.
● NetMask: network mask of the unit.
● Central System Host 1: IP address of the central system.
● Central System Host 2: (optional) IP address of the second central system.

● RECOGNITION: configuration of the recognition engine of the unit.

● WorkingMode: the operation mode of the unit. Possible values:
● Software: it is the central system that determines when the plate recognition
should take place.
● Hardware: the unit detects vehicle movements and determines when the
recognition should take place (every time a new vehicle arrives).
● Pre-trigger: the unit is continually recognizing license plates as vehicles
are approaching and internally stores the best recognition. When the client
application request the license plate, the unit immediately sends it.
● Pre-arming loop: the unit directly receives from a loop installed at the
beginning of the lane a signal indicating the recognition must start. When the
client application sends a recognition request, SmartLPR ® Access sends it the
best recognition result.
● Free flow: the unit continuously recognizes images as vehicles are
approaching and automatically sends the best result.

● Regions: the available regions are on the left and the ones you have selected on
the right. To add or remove regions, use the arrows. Also use the arrows to define
the priority order in the "Current" column.
● Advanced settings: variables for the advanced configuration, only available to
expert users.

● OSD:
● Main options: Parameters that configure the information to be overprinted as text
straight on the image.
● Active: sets the OSD system active or not.
● Position: image position where the text should be displayed.
● Labels: information on each OSD line. By default, the date and license plate of the
image recognized appear. To change or add more information, check OSD section.

● DATE & TIME SETTINGS:

● Configure date and time: configures the automatic synchronization of the hour with
an external server.
● Time protocol: protocol used in date and time synchronization. Its possible
values are “TIME” and “NTP”. If set to “TIME”, the protocol used will be the one
specified in “ARPA Internet RFC 868” document; if set to “NTP”, the protocol
used will be Network Time Protocol.
● Time server: date and time server that will synchronize the unit once a day.
● TimeZone: time zone of the computer. Useful to make sure that the date and
time synchronization takes into account time zone differences. The possible
values are the ones in zoneinfo data base (http://www.iana.org/time-zones).

6. Access control, white lists and Wiegand protocol

SmartLPR® Access offers the possibility to upload into the unit a list of license plates, each of
them associated to an identifier. This identifier plays a double part:
• It allows comparing the license plate of the vehicle arriving at the control point of the
facility with the license plates included in the list. If the license appears on the list, the
unit sends the identifier associated with the vehicle through Wiegand protocol.
• This list can be used for activating the digital output of the unit in case the unit in on
the list.

Quercus Technologies 43
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Advanced concepts

6.1. White list

To activate the white list feature, you must configure the variables listed in “WhiteList” section
in the Advanced Configuration Mode web page:
• WhiteList/Active: enable/disable the white list.
• WhiteList/MaximumLicenseDistance: the maximum difference allowed between a license
plate recognized and one on the list in order to consider it is the same license plate.
• WhiteList/UnknownVehicleId: identifier assigned to a vehicle that is not on the list. By
default, no action will be taken for an unknown vehicle.

To upload a white list into the unit, save all license plates and their identifiers in a file called
“WhiteList.txt”. Each line of the file must contain one license plate only and must follow this
format:

#This is a comment and it will be ignored by the system

AA-111-BB,1234531
BB-000-BB,1234532 #comments can be written at the end of the lines too
AA-222-CC,1234533
AA-333-BB,1234530
CC-111-AA,1234535

Upload the file in the FTP server of the unit and go to “White List” menu in “Access control”
section and follow the steps indicated. The same procedure can be automatized through the
API of the unit, check Programming Manual for more information.
Once you have correctly uploaded the list, this list will be permanently stored into the unit or
until the user uploads a new one.

6.2.Wiegand Protocol
The Wiegand protocol allows setting up various options in the Advanced configuration mode:
• Wiegand/Active: Activates/deactivates Wiegand protocol.
• Wiegand/BitSize: Number of bits to be sent (26, 37 or 128). If data size is larger, it will
be truncated to the size chosen.
• Wiegand/Source: Type of data to be sent:
▪ LICENSE: plate of the recognized vehicle.
▪ WHITELISTID: the identifier associated to the license plate on the list. To see it,
you have to activate the white list.
• Wiegand/Encoding: Codification type of data to be sent:
▪ RAW: data will be sent with no additional codification, meaning the license plate
with one byte per codified character according to the corresponding table of

Quercus Technologies 44
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Advanced concepts

characters. In case the identifier associated in the white list will be sent, it will
be sent in binary codification.
▪ SHA1: a hash of the license plate is calculated and it is truncated to the smaller
size bits which adapt to the length of the chosen frame; to ti the corresponding
parity bits are added.

6.3. Access control

The unit can be used for opening the barrier through its digital output in an access control area
to vehicles registered on a list. To do this, the same white list described before is used. The
behavior of the unit in this situation is set up in the advanced mode of the configuration web:
• Barrier/Active: enables/disables this feature.
• Barrier/UseWhiteListToOpen: when to use the white list:
◦ OFFLINE: The digital output will activate when the external communications of the
unit are lost. This way, the unit acts as a stand-alone, “back-up” mechanism in case
the access control management system fails.
◦ ALWAYS: The digital output will always activate. This way SmartLPR ® Access is
completely autonomous.
• Barrier/OfflineTimeout: Time (in ms) during which no message from the central system
is received. When this time runs out, the unit is considered to be isolated the central
system.
• Barrier/OutputTimeMs: Time during which the digital output must be activated to
trigger the barrier to open.

7. Installation advice
In case the unit has to be installed close to the 2,5 meters limit for vehicle detection, you
must take into account factors that might affect the quality of the recognition, for
instance: difficult angles, vehicles that might stop with their license plate partially or entirely
out of the image.
Take into account that a correct zoom and focus adjustment is compulsory for an optimum
functioning of the unit.

In case of outdoor installation, all direct sunlight on the lens should be avoided.

7.1.Queue management
7.1.1. Queue management in installations for front plate capture
Queues are usually formed in barrier-controlled accesses, thus you have to make sure that the
license plate of the arriving vehicle will be fully seen. To this end, we recommend the use of
two metal loops: the second one should be placed under the barrier so that when the vehicle is
no longer on it, it won't appear in the image. This way, the vehicle does not appear in the
images of the vehicle that enters after it (the sequence of image capture starts when the first
loop reports presence and the second one doesn't report it any more).

7.1.2. Queue management in installations for rear plate capture

In installations for rear plate capture, the best way to manage situations when queues are
formed is by installing a speed bump in line with the camera and before the LPR sensor that
triggers the capture. This way, a vehicle that enters after one vehicle must slow down and it
won't interfere in the capture taken of the first vehicle.

7.2. Ceiling installation

7.2.1.Ceiling installation in front capture

In case the unit must be installed on the ceiling, the minimum horizontal distance from the
unit to the license plate must be of 5 m (16 feet) and the angle between the unit and the floor
must not exceed 30º.

Camera angle (β≤30º)

Height (h)

Distance (L≥5m / 16feet)

The maximum height where the unit could be installed (h), can be calculated as follows:
h=L·tanβ
where for a minimum horizontal distance of 5 m, we get h= 2.9 m.

8. Firmware update
To update the firmware means to incorporate in the unit newer versions of SmartLPR system in
order either to fix some errors or to include new functionalities.

8.1. Steps required before updating

Before installing an update, you first have to make it available on the unit. Follow these steps:

Steps for updating Remarks

1 Get the firmware update file Warning: NEVER try to install an update that
from Quercus Technologies. does not come directly from the
(files with .upd extension). Quercus Technologies support department, as you
could permanently damage the unit firmware. If
fraudulent manipulation of the firmware
installed is detected, the product warranty will
be canceled immediately.
2 Open an FTP connection to the unit The identification and password are the same as
(address ftp://<unit_IP>). those used to enter configuration (default user
“admin”, password “quercus2”). If you access it
from Microsoft Internet Explorer, use
ftp://admin@<unit_IP> as address and enter the
password when asked.

Quercus Technologies 48
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Advanced concepts

3 Upload the update file to the FTP

server.
4 Close the FTP connection.

Please note that the data uploaded in the FTP server will not be permanently stored (it is lost
every time the unit restarts) so upload the file only when you actually plan for the update to
take place.

8.2. Update
When the file has been uploaded to the FTP server you can update the system. To do that,
select “Update Firmware” option from the menu.
If there are update files available in the server, the system will ask you which file you wish to
use, select the right file (normally there will only be one available). The window that appears
describes the series of actions that will take place. If you agree, click “Update”.
Once the update is finished, a window with the result of the update will appear, and the unit
will restart, now operating with the new firmware.

Updating the unit firmware is a delicate operation. If you still have doubts about the process,
contact Quercus Technologies support department who will guide you through so that you can
carry out the update safely. Moreover, take into account the following:

1.The firmware update does not modify the current setup of the unit. However,
the new firmware might require the configuration of additional parameters
(initially found at their default value). See the documentation attached with
the update to understand what you have to do when the update is finished.
2. Do not update the system if there is a high probability of temporary power cuts.
3. The SmartLPR® unit will not be functional while the update takes place. Do not do
this at times when you need the unit to remain operational.
4. Make sure the update has been carried out successfully. To do this, check the
version returned by the unit before and after the process, for example using the
"System Information" function from the main menu.

9. Restoring configuration parameters

The system for restoring the parameters used for settings allows to restore the original
parameters of a unit autonomously, just by using the button designed for this purpose and
without having to go through the settings menu.
For camera housing models, there’s a magnetic button placed in the upper part on the left of
the lid (check the image below). To press it, just place a magnet on it, there's no need to open
the unit:

Note: you should use this method only if you cannot restore them by using the usual software
procedure (in the setup system). You can use it for recovering the original IP address of a unit
if you don't know what the current one is.
To restore the default settings using this method, just follow the steps below:
1. Press and hold the button.
2. You'll hear a series of short beeps followed by a longer one.
3. The unit will restart. If you only wanted to restart it, you can release the button.
4. If you hold the button, after 50 seconds you'll hear a series of beeps becoming shorter
and shorter followed by a longer one.
5. Release the button before the next series of beeps is over.
Warning: if you don't release the button before this second series of beeps is over,
firmware emergency restore will start (check the next paragraph).
6. The unit will restore the default values and will restart.
7. When the unit restarts again, the default settings will have been restored.
8. Some of the factory parameters will not be effective until you select "Apply changes
and reboot”.
The beeps you'll hear during “Restoring configuration parameters” and “Reset” are different:
the first ones increase their frequency while the others are constant.

Quercus Technologies 50
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Advanced concepts

10. Firmware emergency restore

The emergency restore system allows you to restore the original firmware of the unit, just by
using the button designed for this purpose and without having to go through the settings menu
(using a button).

Note: you should use this method only if you cannot restore the original firmware by using the
usual software procedure (in the setup system). You can use it if a power cut occurred during
firmware update and the firmware has been damaged.

To restore the firmware using this method, just follow the steps below:
1. Press and hold the button.
2. You'll hear a series of short beeps followed by a longer one.
3. The unit will restart. If you only wanted to restart it, you can release the button.
4. If you hold the button, after 50 seconds you'll hear a series of beeps becoming shorter
and shorter followed by a longer one.
5. You'll then hear a new series of beeps becoming shorter and shorter, followed by a
longer one.
6. Release the button.
7. The unit will restore the default firmware (configuration) and will restart using the new
firmware.
8. When the unit restarts again, the default settings will have been restored.

The beeps you'll hear during “Restoring configuration parameters” and “Reset” are different:
the first ones increase their frequency while the others are constant.

11. The behavior of the control led

The control Led has 4 possible status: off, blue, red and green. The combinations and their
meaning are described next:
● blue: the system is initializing.
● flashing blue light: can mean two things:
a) data disk is being checked (during initializing).
b) data disk is being formatted (at user's command).

Quercus Technologies 51
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Advanced concepts

● red: there has been an error and the unit is no longer functioning correctly. Check the
log file (on the configuration web) to find out more about the error.
● green: the system functions correctly.
● red / blue (flashing): can have two meanings and in both cases the user MUST NOT
SHUT DOWN the unit while the lights are flashing as it can cause irreversible damages:
a) system is updating (at user's command).
b) system is restoring to the original version (also at user's command).
● red (flashing): some critical errors affected the system and they cannot be solved
automatically. Go to the configuration web by writing the original IP address of the unit
and follow the steps here to correct the errors manually.

12. OSD
Every OSD line has both text and variables which will be replaced by a specific value in each
recognition; a line can have up to 63 characters. You will find a description of the available
variables at the last page of the present paper.

In order to define a variable, mark it with a "$", followed by the identifier and two brackets
where the configuration will be written.
$name_of_the_variable(configuration_of_the_variable)

Depending on the variable format the configuration mode changes. The present formats are:
● Text: does not allow configuration. Example: identifier of the unit.
Example 1: identifier of the unit.
$carId()
● Time: its value expresses a date, with microsecond accuracy. Example: moment when
the incident occurred.
You must indicate the date format in the configuration paragraph, using at least one of
the following sequences. You can place text strings to make it more comprehensible.
○ %u: relative microseconds.
○ %m: relative milliseconds.
○ %c: relative centiseconds.
○ %d: deciseconds.
○ %S: second.
○ %M: minute.

Quercus Technologies 52
SmartLPR® Access User Manual Advanced concepts

○ %H: hour.
○ %D: day.
○ %T: month.
○ %Y: year.
○ %I: date and hour in ISO 8601 format.

In all these sequences, except for the one in ISO 8601 format, it is possible to indicate the
minimum number length by adding the following values between the "%" and the sequence
identifier:
● "X" where X is the minimum length of the number, right-justified and without spaces.
● "0X" where X is the minimum length of the number, right-justified and filled with zeros.
Example 1: hour with microsecond accuracy.
$timestamp(hours %H, minutes %M, seconds %S, milliseconds %m,
microseconds %u)
Example 2: hour with millisecond accuracy.
$timestamp( %Y/%02T/%02D %02H:%02M:%02S.%03m)

Examples
Configuration 1: Moment: $timestamp( %Y/%02T/%02D %02H:%02M:%02S.%03m).”
Possible result 1: Moment: 2014/05/18 13:01:20.711.”

Configuration 2: “Unit $unitId(), Vehicle $carId() - $license().”

Possible result 2: “Unit 35, Vehicle 27 – 1111 AAA.”
