SmartLPR ® Access User Manual Basic concepts Introduction 1.1. What SmartLPR ® Access is SmartLPR ® Access is a license plate recognition (LPR1 ) system specially designed to be used in access lanes with barriers. SmartLPR ® Access is based on an All-In-One concept, which embeds in a single equipment all the operations needed for license plate recognition (image acquisition and further processing), so that installation becomes much easier compared to systems using separate capture and process units. -

The client software is always backwards compatible, meaning you can control all SmartLPR ® versions by using the latest one. Each version number of software/firmware is composed of three numbers (for example 2.4.5): In order to know if a firmware update is compatible with your unit, the current version must be checked and compared with the update version.

® Access User Manual Installation SmartLPR 2.1. Front plate capture 2.1.1. Front plate capture Recommended 2,5 – 3 m Minimum distance 1,5 m Maximum distance The unit must always be installed at 2,5-3m from the barrier. In this type of installation, the LPR unit captures the license plate when the vehicle arms the presence loop installed in line with the ticket dispenser, as shown in the drawing below. -
Page 17: Queue Management In Installations For Front Plate Capture
® Access User Manual Installation SmartLPR 2.1.2. Queue management in installations for front plate capture Queues are usually formed in barrier-controlled accesses, thus you have to make sure that the license plate of the arriving vehicle will be fully seen. To this end, we recommend the use of two metal loops: the second one should be placed under the barrier so that when the vehicle is no longer on it, it won't appear in the image. -
