Camera Installation Guidelines

The detection rate and accuracy of an ALPR system strongly depend on the quality of the images captured by the camera. Main condition is that the camera should capture images of license plates with close to perfect sharpness and contrast, day and night and in different weather conditions. This manual describes the key requirements for license plate recognition including hardware, installation, and configuration.

It is recommended to minimize the angle between the camera and the travel direction of the car, as shown in Picture 1. Ideally, you should place the camera right above the vehicles, or not too high. It is, however, a good idea to place the camera higher than the car headlights, to avoid blinding the camera with strong light.

The total angle between the camera and the travel direction of the car can be estimated from Tables 1 and 2. We recommend keeping the total angle below 30°.
