6.8.1.5. Alignment – Process
Camera alignment is best achieved being able to see the camera’s field of view whilst
carrying out the adjustment. The best way to achieve this is to have a portable PC with WIFI
capability at height by the camera being aligned connect over wireless to either the camera’s
inbuilt WIFI or to a separate WIFI router plugged into the camera’s Ethernet at ground level.
Alternatively an Engineer at ground level viewing the Web interface over Ethernet can pass
instructions to the aligner over two way radio or mobile phone, in practice this is a much
more difficult arrangement.
• Log onto the Sicore II camera web interface and select the ANPR Live View page.
Figure 22 – Web Interface – Top Level Menu
• Ensure that the source is set to ‘ANPR Camera’ (Default selection)
• Tick the ‘Grid’ checkbox
• Adjust the ‘Brightness’ slider until the view shows the road surface clearly
• Adjust the camera pan / tilt such that the centre of the field of view aligns to the
centre of road approximately level with the Distance D marker
• Adjust the camera rotation such that the licence plates of the approaching and
receding vehicles are reasonably level.
Note : In practice, due to the camber of the road, plates captured in each lane may have
slightly different (and opposite) rotations. In this case adjust the roll angle such that the
rotation of the captured plates is balanced between the two lanes. Figure 23 shows an
example of a balanced rotation between two lanes due to road camber.

Adjust the pan / tilt such that centre line of the grid display aligns with the Distance D marker
and the centre of the field of view is over the centre of the road (See Figure 24)
