1. Go to Configuration > System > System Settings > Metadata Parameters and check the ANPR box.

2. Go to Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Platform Access and enable the option Platform Access Mode - Third-party Services.

3. Go to the VCA > VCA Resource section and check the Road Traffic box.

4. Go to Road Traffic > Road Traffic > Detection Configuration and make the following changes:

Also, in this section, you need to set up the zone where the camera will detect vehicles. The recognition zone is defined by two vertical (yellow) lines and one horizontal (blue) line:

• The vertical (yellow) boundaries should be set approximately to the width of passing vehicles.
• The lower (blue) boundary should be set approximately at the level of the lower edge of the license plate (considering the distance at which the plate should be recognized).

5. Go to the Arming Schedule and Communication Method with Devices section.

To send license plate detection information to the Ivideon, also make sure that sending information to the center is enabled as a reaction to an alarm in all lists (white list / black list / other list).

6. Go to Road Traffic >  Picture and make the following changes:

• For the Picture Quality parameter, set the value to 80.
• For the Picture Size parameter, set a value no higher than 800 Kb.
• Enable the display of the necessary additional data on event snapshots (camera name, recognized plate data, time, direction of vehicle movement).

1. Go to Configuration > System > System Settings > Metadata Parameters and check the ANPR box.

2. Go to Configuration > Image > Display Settings and make the following changes:

• In the Scene section, select the Road option.
  For iDS series cameras, select the Normal mode in the Scene item instead.

• In the Exposure Settings section, set the Shutter parameter value to Fixed, 1/250.

          If vehicles in the frame are moving at high speed, set the value to 1/500 or less.

• In the Focus section, set the parameter value to Semi-auto.

• In the Blacklight Settings item, set the parameters BLC Area - Center and Highlight Suppression - On.

3. Go to Configuration > Road Traffic > Detection Configuration and make the following settings:

Also, in this section, you need to set up the zone where the camera will detect vehicles. 

The recognition zone is defined by two vertical (yellow) lines and one horizontal (blue) line:

• The vertical (yellow) boundaries should be set approximately to the width of passing vehicles.
• The lower (blue) boundary should be set approximately at the level of the lower edge of the license plate (considering the distance at which the plate should be recognized).

4. Go to Configuration > Road Traffic > Picture and make the following changes:

• For the Picture Quality parameter, set the value to 80.
• For the Picture Size parameter, set a value no higher than 800 Kb.
• Enable the Overlay of the necessary additional data on event snapshots. Choose the data you want to see on those snapshots (camera name, recognized plate data, time, direction of vehicle movement).

5. If the camera is installed and configured correctly, new events with license plate recognition data will appear in real time in the Configuration > Road Traffic > Recognition Result section (or in the Smart Display section for iDS series cameras).

The same events will be automatically transferred to the service and will be available in the personal account in the ANPR - Events section.

If the ANPR system needs to receive events only for vehicle entry/exit, it is sufficient to choose a specific event type in the camera settings.

• To do this, go to Road Traffic > Detection Configuration, navigate to the Arming Schedule menu, and for all list types, specify the corresponding event type Forward (entry) or Reverse (exit).
• By default, the ANPR system recognizes plates for all vehicles, regardless of direction.
• To transfer license plate detection information to the Ivideon service, also ensure that Notify Surveillance Center is enabled for all lists.
