Setting up the CARMEN-Auto program module is performed in the following way:

1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog window.In the objects tree on the Hardware tab select the CARMEN Module object , corresponding to the set CARMEN-Auto program module. The settings panel of the selected object will open on the right of the windowsettings panel, which is created on the basis of the LPR Channel object.
   

2. Enter the value of minimal validity of recognition in percent in the Minimum validity of LP type recognition field (1). Validity is defined by the degree of similarity between results of recognition and the LP template and it allows distinguishing the LP from other marks on the vehicle.

   Info
   title Note.
   The validity is displayed in the List of parameters of the Active monitor box.

   
   

3. In the LP delimiter field enter symbols which will separate LP symbols from region symbols. Maximum number of delimiter symbols – 2. If recognized license plate is to be written without any delimiters, leave the LP delimiter field empty (2). 
4. In the Recognition frame rate field (3), enter the number of frames per second that will be processed by the recognizer.
5. Click Apply to save the changes (4).

1. The less resolution the higher quality of recognition. It ie recommended to use the following resolution: 320x240 - 800x600px. It is highly recommended not to use resolution more than 1.2 Mpx.
2. It is recommended to specify the search area. It results in decreasing of factual resolution which go to the entry on recognizer. The less area the less resolution and consequently the higher quality of recognizing.
3. It is recommended to use recognition by trigger command (motion detection, the Parking mode) instead of permanent recognition. If a lot of recognizers are to be configured on the one server, use the Parking mode. Detailed information about Parking mode is presented in the Scripts used in the Auto-Intellect software package section.

4. The less recognizers are created on the one computer the higher speed of video processing because the speed of video processing is shares between all created recognizers. Low speed of processing results in plate recognition delay and bad quality of recognition.
   Here's approximate data of speed of video processing:
   For the Common characters template:

   Resolution	FPS
   320x240	19
   480x360	18
   640x480	13
   1024x768	8
   1280x960	8

   For other templates:

   Resolution	FPS
   320x240	12
   480x360	9
   640x480	7
   1024x768	5
   1280x960	4

   
   

   Info
   title Note.
   These data can differ decreasingly of frequency of processed frames at different lighting conditions, on different processors etc.
