Introduction This guide provides instructions on how to install a License Plate Recognition (LPR) system using the Avigilon HD LPR Capture Kit. For information on how to select an appropriate LPR camera model and mounting location, see Site Design on the next page.
Required Number of Servers The Avigilon HD LPR Capture Kit is designed to cover a single traffic lane of 10 ft (3m) or two adjacent traffic lanes. The maximum number of lanes that can be monitored on a single server depends on the target vehicle speed and the mounting height.
Figure 3: Roadside mounting (top view) Figure 4: Roadside mounting (side view) Maximum Cable Length The distance between the Power Supply Unit (PSU) and the LPR kit is limited by the maximum length of the power and network cables. Refer to the following table to select a mounting location for the PSU. Table 6: Wire Gauge vs.
After you have selected a mounting location, you can install the HD LPR Capture Kit. Package Contents Ensure the package contains the following: Avigilon™ HD LPR Camera Avigilon™ HD LPR Enclosure Power Supply Unit (PSU) 3 mm Hex key for enclosure...
You can install an overview camera in the LPR enclosure to record the wider surveillance area, which is useful for identifying a vehicle model or driver, or capturing video before and after an incident. NOTE: It is recommended that you use Avigilon HD H.264 IP Camera models H3-B2 or H3-B3 as overview cameras.
7. Connect the terminal labeled J8 (CAT5) to the Ethernet port of the LPR camera using the network cable provided. 8. If Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not available, proceed to Connecting External Power below 9. Reinstall the back panel of the enclosure. Connecting External Power NOTE: Do not perform this procedure if PoE is used.

1. Drill four mounting holes and a cable entry hole into the mounting surface. 2. Attach the mounting bracket to the mounting surface. Use screws that are appropriate for the mounting surface. It is recommended that you apply silicone sealant into the mounting holes underneath the screw heads.
4. Pull the required cables through the mounting arm and into the cable entry hole. Then, secure the enclosure to the mounting arm. Mounting the Power Supply Unit Important: The PSU must be mounted within a certain distance from the LPR kit. For more information, see Maximum Cable Length on page 10 Install the PSU within the maximum distance using the four M4 mounting holes at each corner of the unit.

NOTE: The cable glands are designed for cables between 0.15 – 0.30 inches (4 – 8 mm) in diameter. For thinner cables, thicken the cable with electrical tape at the point of contact with the gland to ensure a tight fit. Unused glands should be plugged or sealed.
Positioning the HD LPR Capture Kit Adjusting the Mounting Bracket The Avigilon HD LPR Capture Kit is pre-calibrated for a specific target distance as indicated by the model number. It is important to aim the camera at the appropriate distance.
1. Use the 4mm Hex key provided to loosen the screw at the head of the mounting bracket. 2. Adjust the head as required. 3. Tighten the screw to secure the head. Adjusting the Enclosure When the HD LPR Capture Kit is mounted in the roadside position, vehicle license plates may appear skewed. To improve LPR accuracy, you can use the shims provided to adjust the enclosure such that vehicle license plates appear horizontal in the image.

Avigilon Control Center system. The LPR options are only available if you have the feature licensed and installed on a server in the site. For more information about the features available in the ACC software, see the Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide.
Setting Up License Plate Recognition 1. In the server Setup tab, click The License Plate Recognition dialog box is displayed. 2. Select a lane from the License Plate Lane list. The number of lanes listed is determined by the number of License Plate Recognition (LPR) channels that are available on the server.
4. Enter the license plate number that you want to watch for. 5. Move the Minimum Confidence slider to determine how similar the detected license plate must be before it is considered a match. For example, if a license plate on your Watch List is ABC 123 and the ACC software detects an ABC 789 license plate, the system will be 50% confident that it has found a match.
1. In the top-right corner of the Client window, select > Client Settings > Display. 2. In the Image Overlays: area, select the License Plate check box. 3. Click OK. When you display live video for a camera that is configured for license plate recognition, the detected license plates are displayed by the overlay.
