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. For license plates identification in the Auto-Intellect, create the Remote detection object on the base of the LPR channel object and configure the LPR channel object (see Setting up the LPR channel section).

  4. In order for the uploaded frames and events to be displayed in the user interface, it is necessary to create and configure the Monitor and Vehicle Tracker objects on the Interfaces tab (see The Vehicle Tracker interface module).


    If there are no data on the recognized LPs displayed in the Active Monitor of the Auto Intellect — although they are found in the Debug window and Event protocol — it is necessary to change the RemoteLpr.x.NearestTime registry key value. X is the identifier of the LPR channel object in the Intellect software on which the remote recognition module is used (for more details, see Registry keys reference guide, for more information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).

    The RemoteLpr.x.NeatestTime registry key value can also be changed by the Debug window (see link).


  5. 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.
