Page 6: Introduction
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. -
Page 7: Getting Started
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. -
Page 8: Installation
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. -
Page 9: Behind Barrier Mounting
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. 10 m Figure 2: Behind the barrier mounting (ANPR LUMO) 3.3 Dimensions 76.5... - Page 10 ANPR LUMO | installation guide 60° max 60° max Figure 4: Mounting bracket dimensions 10/45...

Page 11: Connections
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 (802.3af or 802.3at). -

5.4 Plate reading messages Ensure that you enable a SERIAL-OSDP action upon a READ-event. See page 36. 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). -
Page 13: Digital Inputs
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 6.2.2 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. -
Page 17: Access List
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. - Page 18 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.
-
Page 19: Wiegand Matchlist
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 "!"... - Page 20 ANPR LUMO | installation guide In the example below the license plate “21ZGNL” is matched with Wiegand ID 12, the license plate 30XHZ2 is matched with Wiegand ID 17. A number plate which is not on the list, will be send as 1112 The Wiegand output format must be defined in the ACTIONS menu.

Page 21: Configuration Menus
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. - Page 22 ANPR LUMO | installation guide 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. As a general recommendation, the following exposure (shutter) times are advised: shutter time of 50-3000 µs on highways, for high speed vehicles...

Page 25: Trigger Modes
7.2.1 TRIGGER MODES The ANPR Lumo may not only operate in free running mode, it can also be triggered by external signals. These trigger signals can enable and disable the operation of the camera in a flexible way. Within a trigger period, when the camera is active, it behaves like in free running mode. This means that reading and sending of LP texts, list matching etc. - Page 26 ANPR LUMO | installation guide trigger type IO Start with timeout: Reads numberplates until the timeout has been reached, any result is processed immediately. Setup: Define Start trigger input, Start trigger polarity. and Trigger timeout (ms). If Start trigger polarity high is enabled, the session will start when the input signal is transitioning from low to high.

Page 28: Mode Of Operation
7.2.2 MODE OF OPERATION Depending on the application of the ANPR Lumo, different methods for image acquisition and internal data processing might be needed. The configuration settings in this menu affect the way the camera handles image sequences, duplicate readings, and reading errors. - Page 29 ANPR LUMO | installation guide You can reset the suppression of identical readings with the setting in Reset After (s) to retransmit a LP after some time. If Reset After (s) is set to 0, plates will never be retransmitted.

Page 30: Engine
ANPR Lumo engine. Reading Mode The ANPR Lumo engine can operate in several performance modes, which balance processing speed and reading accuracy differently. The faster modes offer a higher reading speed on the camera at the cost of lower reading accuracy and vice versa. - Page 31 Note that scaling will decrease the reading frame rate of the device. Search inverted Search inverted is an option that controls the way the ANPR Lumo engine searches for LP in terms of contrast of the characters. Disabled The camera will only search for plates with a bright background and dark characters.
-
Page 32: Access
The camera will always look for white-on-black plates. This option is slow and should only be used if absolutely necessary. Enhanced Detection This option helps to increase the detection rate of license plates. Nedap uses additional algorithms to find license plates at the cost of lower reading speed. Advanced State Detection For supported countries and classifiers Nedap uses additional matching techniques in order to improve state recognition. -
