Access User Manual Installation

2. Installation of the unit
The correct operation of any LPR system depends on several external factors. Most of these
factors can be optimized if considered during the access lanes layout. Quercus Technologies
can guarantee an optimum operation of a SmartLPR
®
Access system only if the access
lanes are designed according to the layout described in this chapter.
If there are any physical constraints that make it impossible to observe these guidelines, it is
very important to carry out the installation with the supervision of Quercus
Technologies support department.
In case the unit has to be installed close to the 2,5 meters limit from the barrier, you must
take into account factors that might affect the quality of the recognition, for instance:
difficult angles, vehicles that might stop with their license plate partially or entirely out of the
image.
Take into account that a correct zoom and focus adjustment is compulsory for an optimum
functioning of the unit.
In case of outdoor installation, all direct sunlight on the lens should be avoided.

Access system allows two types of way of obtaining a capture:
1. Front plate capture: This is the recommended operation mode as it is easier to install and
provides the best recognition rates.
2. Rear plate capture: to be used only when it is absolutely necessary, for example, in countries
where vehicles do not have a front plate.
