ANPR LUMO | installation guide Introduction The NEDAP ANPR LUMO License Plate Reader offers automatic number plate reading. The NEDAP ANPR LUMO is an all in one camera including camera, analyzer and IR illuminator. The ANPR has embedded processing software onboard.
2 Getting started 2.1 Mounting the ANPR LUMO Determine how to mount the ANPR. The ANPR LUMO can be installed onto a pole or behind the barrier. Mount behind the barrier to ensure recognition right in front of the barrier.
• The ANPR shall only be installed and serviced by qualified and trained personnel. • To be sure of safety, do not modify or add anything other than mentioned in this manual or indicated by NEDAP • N.V. CAUTION: for continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuses only with the same type and rating.
If there is space behind the barrier and the sight is not blocked, then the best place for the ANPR is at bumper height (0.5m height) about 2 to 3 meters behind the barrier. A vehicle just in front of the barrier is still recognized in that case. Figure 2: Behind the barrier mounting (ANPR LUMO) 3.3 Dimensions 76.5...

The Ethernet cable is already fitted to the ANPR provided an RJ-45 connector. This Cat5e cable will be adequate for connection of the unit to a local area network. The ANPR LUMO can also be powered through Power Over Ethernet (POE).
5.4 Plate reading messages Ensure that you enable a SERIAL-OSDP action upon a READ-event. See page 32. The ANPR LUMO will send an OSDP_RAW message including the message data. The data report will be sent in response to a poll command (OSDP_POLL).
The ANPR LUMO supports the OSDP v2 including the secure channel protocol. The OSDP control panel (CP) can request the device capabilities using the OSDP_CAP command. The ANPR LUMO will respond with the OSDP_PDCAP device capabilities report. Below an overview of the ANPR device capabilities.

ANPR LUMO | installation guide 6.2 Menu Items 6.2.1 Home The Home screen has 3 items, the live view, the Live text results and the camera information. At the camera info box, you can check which version of the software is currently installed in the camera.
ANPR LUMO | installation guide 6.2.2 Text results There are three different events that the results are listed for: Accepted Results, Wrong Direction Results and NoRead Log. At the ACCEPTED RESULTS tab you can see all past results, the text results can be exported to a CSV file or excel file.
6.3 Access list The ANPR LUMO has three “Access” lists, and one Wiegand Matchlist. The “access” lists can be used to trigger an action like activating a relay. These actions can be defined in the menu “configuration” -> “Actions” see chapter 7.3.

Regular Expressions Regular expressions are used to conveniently define patterns for license plates or groups of license plate strings. The ANPR LUMO uses a powerful set of regular expressions, of which the most important details are described in the following paragraphs.
Match all license plates that start with a letter and end with a digit: [A-Z]+.*[0-9]+ Match all license plates from the Nedap company, assuming that their license plates consist of a NEDAP string and a following 3 number digit (like NEDAP001): NEDAP[0-9]{3} When making a list using regular expressions, the string should always start with "!"...
ANPR LUMO | installation guide 7 Configuration menus 7.1 CAMERA After installation camera configuration should take place. The essential segment of ANPR is image acquisition. Quality of images depends on the camera and illumination preferences. The area within the green polygon is the brightness control region of interest (ROI). It defines the image area within which the camera measures and corrects the image brightness.

ANPR LUMO | installation guide Shutter speed should be changed according to vehicle speed. If the vehicle is approaching in high speed, the exposure time should be reduced. When minimum shutter is set too high (in relation to the vehicle speed) it may cause lower reading performance because images can turn out blurry.
ANPR LUMO | installation guide DRAW STATE: If display state is enabled state name with the percentage of reading confidence will be overlaid onto processed images DRAW CHARACTER CONFIDENCE: Enabling Visualize character confidence, confidence of recognition for each character will be overlaid above the vehicles number plates JPEG COMPRESSION LEVEL:* JPEG compression reduces the size of images.

If Start trigger polarity high is enabled, the session will start when the input signal is transitioning from low to high. If Start trigger polarity high is disabled, the session will start when the input signal is transitioning from high to low.
