LPR INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

The LPR camera should be mounted at a height between 3~8 ft., and a distance no greater than 80 ft. from the target area. Exceeding the distance recommendations may result in a poor quality image of moving license plates.
Ensure that the camera angle is no more than 20° degrees (horizontally) 30° degrees (vertically) from the target area.
It is recommended to position a license plate or vehicle to reflect the IR light of the camera while adjusting the camera's focus of the target area.
After mounting the camera, you can press the Zoom Lens Button (located on the underside of the camera) to sequentially zoom and auto-focus the camera. Alternatively, the camera's web GUI or management software can be utilized as well. The longer the Zoom Lens button (T-W jog button) is pressed down, the further the lens module will zoom.
Please note that the cameras ship with focus in Manual mode. To change the camera's focus to Auto, enter the camera's web GUI and use the +/- zoom buttons on the left of the camera image.
