LPR Camera Installation and Configurations Guide

1. Cameras for entrance surveillance should be installed at a height of 2 meters, while cameras for road traffic surveillance should be installed at a height between 5 to 6 meters with the bottom of the video 15 to 20 meters from the pole. 2. The license plate tilt angle must be within +/-5 degrees and the vertical pixels of the license plate must be between 20 to 50 pixels. 3. Camera configurations like gain, shutter speed, and WDR should be adjusted based on lighting conditions and speed of vehicles to optimize license plate recognition. Gains between 20-30 and shutters between 1/150 to 1/250 are suitable for parking lots.

Default shutter time is 1/150

Default gain is 20

Default setting

Configuration 1-- Gain (WDR off)

Gain = 20 Gain = 30
Parking system Gain 20-30

Gain = 40 Gain = 50

Configuration 1-- Gain (WDR On)

Gain = 20 Parking system Gain 20-30 Gain = 30

Gain = 40 Gain = 50

Configuration 2--WDR (OFF VS ON)

WDR OFF WDR ON

Tips:
1、The contrast of license plate with WDR OFF is better than the WDR ON.
2、The license plate number with WDR OFF looks clear, that’s good for LPR.
3、More details with WDR ON than WDR OFF.
