The optimal results

What is your first thought about surveillance? Typically, we consider the optimal cameras for capturing high-quality video of others. Nevertheless, a comprehensive surveillance system may include more than only monitoring human activity.
 
Many company and property owners must also monitor vehicles entering and leaving their properties. You’re in luck if you’re seeking for a security camera that can collect and save license plate numbers. Nelly’s Security has a camera that is ideal for you.
 
 
The NSC-LPR-832-BT1 is an LPR camera, or license plate recognition camera. The camera is a 2MR EXIR with an 8-32mm zoom lens. It can capture license plates at night with a 100-foot IR distance and 60 frames per second video quality.
If you’re already convinced, go here to learn more. Continue reading if you’re curious about what an LPR is, how to install it for optimal results, and how to utilize the program to search through license plates.
 
What are LPRs?
When it comes to recording license plates, you’ll need a camera made specifically for that purpose. A standard security camera is ineffective. However, you do have a few alternatives, depending on your requirements. If all you need is a camera that can take photographs and video whenever a license plate travels within the frame, then a license plate capture camera should suffice (LPC). However, for the majority of persons seeking to capture license plates, the restricted range of features offered by LPC cameras is just insufficient.
 
You probably won’t have the time to manually record every license plate photographed by your camera. So, when the time comes to discover a particular license plate, you’ll have to comb through a large number of image and video data to find it. This might become a very time-consuming endeavor.
 
If you want a time-saving gadget that can automatically pull license plate numbers into a database for quick searching, adjustable filtering, and rapid retrieval, you need something more powerful than an LPC. This is the purpose of a license plate recognition camera (LPR).
 
 
Like an LPC, an LPR will capture photographs and videos of license plates. However, the LPR is distinguished by its capacity to translate license plate images to text. This information will subsequently be used to establish a database of license plates entering and departing your property. You may see all of your captured images or search for a certain license plate. You may even ban or whitelist license plates to get warnings whenever an unauthorized driver enters your property.
 
How to Mount Your LPR
This is not the kind of camera you can immediately mount on a wall and expect reliable results. In order for the software on your camera to translate and assemble license plates, it must be able to capture high-quality images of the plates. Therefore, if you want to get the most out of this camera, you’ll need to spend the time to configure it properly. This will need locating the ideal site, putting it up with the correct proportions, and tweaking the camera’s interface settings.
 
Correct Location
When placing your camera, you should bear in mind that you want to capture license plates. It is recommended to put the camera towards a choke point, a small region where autos enter and exit at a constant speed and location.
 
You can notice at the beginning of the preceding movie that we first installed the camera in the rear lot of Nelly’s Security. We had no means of insuring that vehicles would pass our camera in a manner that would allow us to record their license plates, since the camera was aimed towards a huge parking lot where vehicles were free to travel at whim. As a consequence, we recorded a large number of bogus license plates, such as the phone number on the rear of this UPS vehicle.
 
 
 
When we removed the camera and installed it in front of our building, we oriented it toward the parking lot exit. This was an excellent method for funneling traffic onto a single bottleneck. Check out how much our camera’s accuracy improved by merely focusing on a smaller region as opposed to a larger one.
 
 
Without a defined choke point, we obtained several inaccurate results.
 
Our accuracy rose significantly once we shifted our attention to a choke point.
Here are some examples of choke points to assist you in locating the optimal location to deploy your LPR camera.

When installing your LPR, be certain to target a particular choke point.
Optimal Dimensions
The next step is to put your LPR camera at the appropriate height and distance from your choke point, if you’ve determined the perfect location for mounting it. For optimal results, position your camera between 2 and 6 meters, or 6 and 18 feet, above the ground. The actual height will depend on the distance from the choke point. The ideal angle between the license plate and the ground is 30 degrees (See diagram below). Therefore, the appropriate height will vary depending on whether license plates are to be captured from 15, 50, or 100 feet away.
 
The zoom feature of the camera is the following factor to consider. The lens zooms from 8mm to 32mm, so you should have no trouble finding the optimal focal length. Regardless of how you set the camera, ensure that the field of vision surrounding the choke point is as constrained as feasible.
 
 
Adjusting the Settings of the Camera
Once the camera has been installed outdoors at the ideal height and location and focused on a certain choke point, it is time to go inside and turn it on. Once you’ve brought up the camera’s interface, there are a few settings you’ll need to adjust to get your camera ready to start recording license plates.
 
Click on the “Configuration” tab, followed by the “Image” options. Ensure that the mounting scenario is changed from “Normal” to “Road.”

Your camera should now be close to accurately recording license plates under most scenarios. Depending on your scenario, you may need to tweak and fine-tune the camera’s settings.
 
In order to record license plates at night and take use of this camera’s 100-foot IR range, you may need to switch the Day/Night Switch mode to manual and modify the “High Beam Light Distance” option in the settings tab.

Regarding setup this camera for best performance, there is no true one-size-fits-all answer. It will depend entirely on your scenario. Numerous variables might effect your camera, including the surrounding surroundings, the distance between the camera and the choke point, the time of day you’re attempting to photograph license plates, and more. It may take some trial and error, but you will be glad you took the time to set up your camera before attempting to photograph license plates.
 
 
Keeping and Reviewing Captures of License Plates
Once your camera has been properly installed, it may begin capturing license plate numbers. The numbers may be stored in two distinct ways. First, you may connect this camera to your NVR in order to record the video to your hard drive. Second, you may insert a Micro SD card with a maximum capacity of 128GB for usage as a standalone storage device or as a backup.
 
 
This camera can use Micro SD cards with storage capacities of up to 128GB.
We advise utilizing an NVR rather than a Micro SD card. A recorder is capable of storing not just images but also video clips of the plate capture. On the internal hard drive of an NVR, you can store more information than on a Micro SD card. Using an NVR or MicroSD card, you may effortlessly filter, search, and replay license plate recordings when paired with the free software iVMS-4200.
