Chapter I Introduction
1.1 Overview
Milesight AIoT Indoor Parking Management Suite is designed for indoor parking
management. Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect the occupancy of parking spaces,
and the information is reported to the parking management system through the
gateway, so as to guide users to quickly find free parking spaces and reduce
congestion and additional emissions caused by searching for parking spaces. Besides,
based on AI algorithm, the professional Supplement Light AI LPR Camera generates
reliable traffic insights to improve safety and mobility. Make parking easy and smart
with AIoT!

1.3 How it Works
Sensor EM310-UDL: Detect the occupancy status of a single parking space
UG65/UG63 LoRaWAN®Gateway: Receive the parking space occupation
information detected by the sensor and transfer it to the parking management
system.
Supplement Light AI LPR Camera: Detect vehicle information and linkage with
gate and the parking management system.
1.4 Benefits of the Solution
Intelligent AI-powered LPR Algorithm
Superior image quality with the highest performance sensor and cutting-edge image
processing technologies ensure the best performance of embedded Al analytics.
Precise recognition results of number plate, vehicle type, vehicle color and plate color

3
are all set to boost intelligent parking traffic solution right away.
LoRa Outstanding Performance
LoRa technology is a new wireless protocol designed for remote connectivity and
low-power communication, eliminating the cumbersome wiring process for parking
systems. With the latest Semtech LoRa Chip and a 64-bit quad-core CPU, the
LoRaWAN®Gateway supports receiving data from up to 8 end-devices at the same
time, handles more traffic with less power consumption, and has a line of sight of
around 15km in open area, making it ideal for a variety of applications.
Low Power Consumption
The low power consumption of sensors and gateways greatly saves the users system
maintenance costs and provides a cost-effective option for parking management.
Dual Ultrasonic Sensor
The advanced sensor EM310-UDL uses a dual ultrasonic beam with a measurement
range from 3 cm to 450 cm, resulting in an ultra-short blind spot, which provides
high-precision parking space occupancy information for parking management
systems.
Flexible Compatibility
To maximize the usability and compatibility, the Supplement Light AI LPR Camera
supports CGI/APIs and Wiegand Protocol, which allows the easy open integration with
third-party VMS or platforms, realizing the access control solution. And the MQTT
protocols offers a wide range of options for data processing.
Easy Configuration

4
The low power consumption and integrated design and cellular support save a lot of
tedious wiring process, making the product environment more adaptable and the
overall deployment more simple and convenient.

Chapter II Settings
2.1 Camera Settings
2.1.1 Hardware Overview
2.1.2 Hardware Installation
Please deploy the cameras at the entrance and exit of the parking lot to detect
vehicle information and linkage with gate and the parking management system.
To increase the accuracy of license plate recognition, be sure to install the LPR
cameras properly to capture the license plates with the correct image size, lighting
conditions and camera angle. The following highlights are the precautions of installa
tion angle：
A. Installing the camera in front of the vehicle (Recommended):
The captured image should be filled with a full width of the vehicle.
B. Installing the camera slightly to the side:

6
To avoid capturing unnecessary contents in the image, the camera should be install
ed in a higher position(Vertical angle is less than 30°; Horizontal angle is no more th
an 30°; Tile angle is less than 5°) to capture the front part of the vehicle.
Notes
Here only introduce the installation location, for detailed installation steps, please
refer to Milesight Network Camera Quick Start Guide.
2.1.3 Access to Web GUI
If the network segment of the computer and that of the camera are different, please
follow the steps to change the IP address:
Step1: Change the IP address of computer to 192.168.5.0 segment, here are two ways
as below:
a. Start→Control Panel→Network and Internet Connection→Network
Connection→Local Area Connection, and double click it;

7
b. Click “Advanced”, and then click “IP settings”--> “IP address”--> “Add”. In the
pop-up window, enter an IP address that in the same segment with Milesight network
camera ( e.g. 192.168.5.61, but please note that this IP address shall not conflict with
the IP address on the existing network);

8
Step2: Start the browser. In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the
camera: http://192.168.5.190;
Step3: You need to set the password first when using it for the first time. And you can
also set three security questions for your device after activation. Then you can log in
to the camera with the user name (admin) and a custom password.
Notes
①Password must be 8 to 32 characters long, contain at least one number and one
letter.
②You can click the “forget password” in login page to reset the password by answering
three security questions when you forget the password, if you set the security
questions in advance.

9
Step4: After login, please select “Settings” →“Network” →“Basic” →“TCP/IP”. The
Network Settings page appears (Shown as below Figure);
Step5: Change the IP address or other network values. Then click “Save” button;
Step6: The change of default IP address is completed.
2.1.4 LPR Settings
Notes
Here only introduce the configuration related to this solution, for more camera
configuration, please refer to Milesight Network Camera User Manual.
(1) General
Step1: After log in the web, go to “LPR “→“Settings“→“General”.
Check the checkbox “Enable LPR”, you can draw the screen to select area interested.

10
[Enable LPR]: Automatic license plate recognition after it is enabled.
[Country/Region]: You can select the country/region to use the LPR function.
Step 2: Detection Settings.
You can draw the screen to select four areas interested. The area as shown in the
blue box below, it will also display pixels above each area.

11
[Detection Region]: You can set up to 4 ROI areas by drawing the screen. If you
choose Normal, it supports configuring the LPR detection regions for the current area.
If you choose Advanced (Only for PTZ series), it supports configuring different LPR
detection regions for different PTZ presets(Only support Preset 1~4 so far).
[Processing Resolution]: Default selected resolution is 1280*720. Users can choose
different resolution according to the network environment.

12
[Detection Trigger]: If you choose “Always”, camera will always detect the license
plate. If you choose “Alarm input”, camera will only detect the license plate when
Alarm Input is triggered.
[Confidence Level]: You can set the confidence level from 1 to 10. When the
confidence level of the license plate is higher than the set confidence level, it will push
the license plate image to the logs interface.
[Repeat Plate Checktime]: Set the time interval for repeatedly reading license plates
to effectively avoid duplicate identification of parking vehicles.
[Feature Identification]: Check Plate Color, Vehicle Type, Vehicle Color, Detection
Region, Direction, Country / Region or All to enable Features Identification, it will
display the corresponding information on the logs interface.
