A general way to configure a camera with the license plate number recognition function is as follows:

1. Add a camera with the LP recognition function via the Camera discovery tool or manually (see Configuring video acquisition from IP devices).

2. If a camera with the LP recognition function was created manually, then you need to create an Embedded detector object on the basis of the Camera object and configure it:

   1. Go to the Embedded detector object settings panel.
      

   2. In the id in device terms field (1), enter the lpr_detection value.
   3. Set the Generate alarm on camera checkbox (2) if the alarm should be generated on the camera by detector’s response.
   4. Click the Apply button to save the changes (3).
3. Go to the camera web-interface and configure the camera in a way necessary to achieve the stable license plate number recognition, which meets the requirements.

A camera with the license plate number recognition function is configured.
