How to configure IVA Pro License Plate Recognition and Vehicle Make Model?

IVA Pro License Plate Recognition (LPR) can recognize license plate information at vehicle speeds up to 75 mph / 120 km/h, day or night across multiple cameras and in various traffic settings, including city roadways, toll zones, parking lots, and school drop-off lanes.

IVA Pro Vehicle Make Model recognizes vehicle details in real-time and adds it to the camera’s metadata stream. It detects and identifies the make and model of moving cars, vans, buses, motorcycles, and trucks based on a database of more than 140 manufacturers and 2,000 models.

Prerequisites:

  • Supported CPP14 camera, check Video Product Selector for supported camera models

  • Firmware 9.40 and higher
