ANPR camera installation starts with plate size, lane geometry, speed, shutter, lighting and regional formats, followed by a representative site pilot.
Section 01
Design the plate capture before selecting the camera
ANPR starts with a controlled capture view, not a general overview camera. The plate must occupy enough pixels, stay within the supported horizontal and vertical angle, and remain readable at the expected speed and lighting condition.
Use the selected camera manufacturer’s current installation guidance for lens range, capture distance and angle. Validate the target country or region’s plate formats with day and night traffic before connecting recognition to a barrier or enforcement workflow.
Section 02
Project checkpoints before model selection
Use the following checkpoints to turn the search question into a project brief. They are decision inputs, not universal product claims.
- Assign a dedicated plate-capture view and a separate overview view where needed
- Measure lane width, camera offset, height, distance and vehicle speed
- Control shutter, illumination and headlight exposure for the capture zone
- Test front and rear plates, motorcycles and common local plate variations
- Keep a manual verification and safe barrier state for uncertain reads
Section 03
ANPR Camera Installation Parameters
The NexPro ANPR system utilises AI-powered cameras with built-in licence plate recognition engines. Proper installation and parameter configuration are critical for achieving high recognition accuracy - typically above 95% under optimal conditions.

12mm Lens Standard Installation Distance Diagram
The diagram below illustrates the standard installation parameters for the NexPro-ANPR9017CP40Y camera equipped with a 12mm lens. Correct mounting height, angle, and distance ensure optimal licence plate capture and recognition.
Figure: 12mm Lens Standard Installation Distance Diagram - NexPro-ANPR9017CP40Y | Mounting Height: 2 - 3m | Angle: ≤30° | Recognition: 5 - 25m
Section 05
Project planning notes
Use this guide as a planning reference for CCTV project discussions. Before procurement, confirm site drawings, camera positions, cable distances, network capacity, storage retention, power backup and installation constraints with the selected models.
Section 06
RFQ checklist
For quotation review, send the project layout, target camera count, installation environment, preferred recording days, network cabinet locations, OEM requirements and delivery market. NexPro-Link can then organize model matching and a coordinated CCTV equipment package.
Section 07
Evidence to verify before quotation or order
Ask the supplier to bind the quotation to the exact models, firmware or configuration, accessories and destination-market requirements. Keep assumptions visible and resolve them through samples, datasheets or written order terms.
- Supported plate countries, scripts and formats for the software version
- Lens and recognition-distance table for the selected camera
- Maximum accepted horizontal and vertical plate angle
- Night capture samples from the actual lane
- Barrier controller interface, event logic and privacy retention

These sources support the general planning principles. Always use the selected product's current datasheet and applicable project standards for final design.
