By default, the LPR channel scans the whole video image received from the camera for the LP number. To decrease the CPU load, a smaller area where the LP should be searched for, can be specified.

Note.

This setting is given only when Auto-Uragan, CARMEN-Parking, CARMEN-Auto or ARH-Containers program module is used.

Note.

If the LP search area boarder is specified, only the license plates that completely fit into the area will be recognized.

The search area borders can be specified using one of two methods:

  1. Manual entry of the area coordinates;
  2. Pointing at the borders on the video image using the mouse.

To manually enter the exact coordinates of the search area boarders, do the following:

  1. In the System Settings dialog window, open the Hardware tab (1).
  2.

  3. Check the Search area checkbox (3).
  4. In the Left, Top, Right, and Bottom fields, enter the coordinates of the corresponding search area boundaries, as a percentage of the full frame size (4).
  5. Click Apply (5).
