TIP: Remember these helpful tips when aiming the camera:
●
Point the camera in the same direction as the flow of traffic so that the back of vehicles are being
captured as the vehicles pass.
●
Aim the camera so that license plates are horizontally parallel with the blue zone as vehicles pass
through. Minimize the rotation of the camera with respect to the plate.
●
While aiming, adjust the example plate at the center of the image towards the green boxes that
appear after each detection. Avoid the orange and red boxes.
●
If the camera is at the correct distance, license plates will be about the same size as the example
plate, as vehicles pass through the blue zone.
●
In locations where traffic is intermittent, having an assistant available to drive a vehicle through the
estimated capture zone while the camera is being aimed would be helpful.
