Requirements for LPR in the Management Client

When you've mounted the cameras and added them in the Management Client, adjust each camera's settings so that they match the requirements for LPR. You can adjust camera settings on the properties tabs for each camera device.

For the relevant cameras, Milestone recommends to:

• Set the video codec to H.264

  For LPR use, JPEG is not recommended and H.265 is not supported. Disadvantages of using other codecs include delays in stream processing and unnecessary extra CPU load on the server. For this reason, Milestone recommends that you always use H.264 video streams for LPR cameras.

• Specify a frame rate of four frames per second.
• Avoid compression, so set a fine quality.
• If possible, specify a resolution below one megapixel.
• If possible, keep automatic sharpness at a low level.
