1. What is ANPR

ANPR(Automatic Number Plate Recognition) is a technology that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates. For Milesight, the ANPR algorithm is embedded in cameras, which allows the cameras to recognize, capture and upload license plate images all alone and intelligently.

LPR H.265+ Vandal-proof Motorized Mini Bullet Network Camera

LPR H.265+ Motorized Pro Bullet Network Camera

• Installation Angle Considerations

To increase the accuracy of license plate recognition, be sure to install the LPR cameras properly to capture the license plates with the correct image size, lighting conditions and installation angle. The following highlights are the precautions of installation angle：

1. Installing the camera in front of the vehicle (Recommended):

The captured image should be filled with a full width of the vehicle. 

2. Installing the camera slightly to the side: 

To avoid capturing unnecessary contents in the image, the camera should be installed in a higher position(Vertical angle is less than 30°; Horizontal angle is no more than 30°; Tile angle is less than 5°) to capture the front part of the vehicle. 

3. Countries/Regions that support ANPR

Currently, we have three kinds of LPR, including LPR1, LPR2 and LPR3. LPR1 is used in Asian region, LPR2 is for European region, and LPR3 is for Korea. It covers over 70 countries and regions.

LPR1:

LPR2:

CIS (former Soviet Union)

4. How to set ANPR with Milesight Network Cameras

4.1Settings

Step1: Go to“LPR”->“Settings”，after log in the web.

Check the checkbox “Enable License Plate Recognition”, and you can draw the screen to select the areas interested. There will be shown in the blue box as below. 

[License]: A license will be automatically assigned to each device.

[License Status]: This column is used to display the status of the license, “Valid”or  “Invalid”.

[Processing Resolution]: Default resolution selected is 1280*720. You can choose different resolution according to the network environment.

[Set LPR Detection Region]: You can set up to 4 ROI areas by drawing the screen. If you choose Normal Mode, it supports configuring the LPR detection regions for the current area. If you choose Advanced Mode(Only for PTZ series), it supports configuring different LPR detection regions for different PTZ presets(Only support Preset 1~4 so far).

Notes：

• The optimal interval of Milesight LPR cameras to recognize license plates is within 130-300 PX.

• For better performance, please choose the appropriate resolution in advance.

[LPR Night Mode]: Achieve the best effect of LPR night recognition by adjusting different parameter levels. You can also schedule the Start Time and End Time, and adjusting the level according to the environment.

Step2: Schedule Settings. You can draw the schedule by clicking“Edit”button. And then click “Save” or “Reset” after finishing the setting. 

Step3: Detection Settings and LPR Message Post Settings. 

[Detection Trigger]: If you choose “Always”, camera will always detect the license plate. If you choose “Alarm input”, camera will only detect the license plates when Alarm Input is being triggered.

[Confidence Level]: You can set the confidence level from 1 to 10. When the confidence level of the license plate is higher than the set confidence level, it will push the license plate image to the logs interface.

[Repeat Plate Checktime]: Set the time interval for repeatedly reading license plates to effectively avoid duplicate identification of parking vehicles.

[License Plate Serial Format]: Formulate identification rules and automatically filter wrong license plate information to achieve more intelligent and accurate license plate recognition.

[Feature Identification]: Check Region, Direction, ROI_ID or All to enable Features Identification, it will display the corresponding information on the logs interface.

Note: Region detection only supports DACH region.

[LPR Message Post Settings]: Check the checkbox to enable LPR Message Post. It will push information to some third-party devices or software that are compatible with ours. Information can be pushed by RTSP, TCP or HTTP.

More information about LPR Message Post, please refer to Milesight-Troubleshooting-Integration between LPR Camera and NVR(VMS).

Step4: Don’t forget to click “Save” after finishing all settings.

4.2List Management

2. Select ANPR Mode on live view bottom tool bar.

After entering ANPR mode, the real-time license plate information will be shown on the left of the interface once it get detected. 

License plate information includes Plate Snapshot, Channel Name, License Plate Number, Detected Time and Plate Type.

Two License types:

No License plates type will be shown if the license plate does not exist in Black/White list.

Besides, you can click the license plate information to check the latest X seconds (10s~20s) video.

Note:

• X = 10 + Pre Record Time

You can set Pre Record Time in Storage -> Video Record -> Record Settings interface.

• Make sure that HDD is available on NVR and correct record settings is made, so that you can check the record on live view. Please refer to How to check ANPR record part for detailed record settings.

• Make sure that NVR can get the license plate information. Please set TCP as Post Type which is the default mode. It can be set in Camera web page -> Advanced Settings -> ANPR -> Settings interface. 

5.6Set/Check ANPR Record

Before checking recording files, please make sure that you have proceed correct settings to make record action work.
