Overview
VIVOTEK’s LPR camera is a standalone LPR camera system, featuring a
built-in license plate recognition system as well as white-list and
black-list for license plate verification. It can read the markings of
multiple countries or states simultaneously (e.g., Singapore and
Malaysia; Texas, Oklahoma and neighboring states). It also offers
various APIs for integration with 3rd party systems such as parking
management, toll collection, and weighbridge systems. The camera is
ideal for use in parking access control and stop-and-go toll systems.
In this document, we will show you how to configurate LPR camera from
hardware and software different point of views. And please refer to the

Software Configuration
1. Click “ANPR” link on application on camera to launch ANPR
software management web console.

3. Configurate the height of license plate character and the accepted
confidence level.
Through setting maximum and minimum character height that can
help LPR engine to limit on reading the height of license plate
character that you set, and ignore unwanted information. Usually
the character height of license plate around 25 to 80 pixels can be
recognized.
Minimum confidence (tpc) is minimum reliability in the reading of a
license plate to consider it valid. Reliability is a parameter returned
by the engine for recognizing license plates (value of 1-100, where
100 is the most reliable).
We recommend to keep using default character height settings (25
and 80 pixels) and if needed you can try to adjust confidence level
first.

4. Go to Live page and click Calibration pattern, to check the height
of license plate character.
Our recommended character height is 25~50 pixels. The numbers
should cover 1 to 2 segments, which each segment is indicated by
the guiding gridlines. (The best coverage is around 1.5 segments; It is
the best recognition height for engine)
(You can go to image focus page in camera configuration to zoom in/out the
camera to adjust the height of license plate character, please refer Step 5)

5. Go to camera configuration, and check if camera is focused, and
the height of license plate character cover 1 to 2 segments.

character.

you would like to focus, for example the license plate display
