An LPR camera is designed to read a license plate only. When a license plate passes by the camera, the
reflective film on the plate will be reflected back to the camera which gives youthe good clear shot of
the plate. You will ONLY capture an image of the plate.
US license plates need to be at least 216 pixels wide. This translates roughly into an image no wider than
5-6 feet assuming 1440p standard definition video.
1
The horizontal angle between the camera and plate should be
within 20° degrees. This means that if your camera is 10 feet
away from the plate, the plate cannot be more than 3 feet to the
right or left of the camera.
2 The vertical angle between the camera and plate is within 30°
degrees. This means that if your camera is 10 feet away from the
plate and the plate is 3 feet off the ground, the camera cannot
be mounted more than 8 feet high.
3 Attempting to position the security camera at odd angles or
exceeding the distance capabilities will result in a poor shot of
the plate.
4
The DVR's recording fps should be at the highest to assure best
capture quality.
THE CAMERA SHOULD BE MOUNTED AT AN ANGLE NO GREATER THAN 30 DEGREES
