1. Introduction
Using this camera, you can easily monitor road traffic, both vehicles passing by
and vehicles stopping to enter a designated zone. The vehicle detection detects
passing vehicles and captures the license plates. The detection triggers a series
of actions, such as notifying the surveillance center, uploading the captured
picture to a FTP server. Connected to a NOX system via the Wiegand interface,
the license plate will be converted to a card number and can be used for
access control.
2. Web Configuration
Use the SADPTool (https://www.hikvision.com/en/Support/Downloads/Tools)
to setup IP-address and password. Login to the IP Camera (IPC) via a web
browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and make sure the firmware version supports
ANPR. Preferably use the Firmware version: V5.4.5 build 171222 –
downloadable through our website here:

2.1 Detection configuration
1. Video Content Analysis (VCA) must be setup to the intended use to get the
best performance. Two modes of VCA resource allocation are supported:
•Smart Event
•Vehicle detection
Go to Configuration > Advanced Configuration > System > VCA Resource
Select Vehicle detection as the VCA resource and reboot the device to
activate the new setting.
NOTE.
When Smart Event is enabled the Vehicle Detection function is disabled.
When Vehicle detection is enabled, high framerate, recording on SD card,
certain smart events and people counting are not supported.
Figure 2 - VCA Resource Allocation.
2. Then go to the Advanced Configuration > Road Traffic option. Select the
detection type from the list and enable the selected detection function.
Vehicle Detection can be selected here.

4. Click and drag the lane line to set the position or click and drag the end of
the line to adjust the length and angle. The area surrounded by yellow and
green lines stands for the detection area or the area of interest.
NOTE.
Only 1 license plate can be captured at the same time for each lane.
5. For high accuracy rate, it is necessary to set the maximum and minimum
size of the license plates.
•Manually take a snapshot with the camera when the license plate
appears in the detection area, and then measure the width in
pixels as shown in figure 4.
Figure 5 - How to measure a license plate pixel width using the Windows program Paint.
•Set the license plate width parameters.
