The LPR channel enables license plate recognition upon request using the Camera of recognition upon request object. This object allows you to configure the camera so that it captures and sends a video image to the recognition module after a specific trigger activates. It can be, for example, a macro, a script, or some event. 

Configure the recognition upon request as follows:

1. Go to the Camera of recognition upon request settings panel created on the basis of the LPR channel object.

2. From the Camera drop-down list (1), select the camera that will work upon request.

   The You can select the same camera can be selected in several the several Camera of recognition upon request objects. If the camera has been selected on When you select a camera in the settings panel of the Camera of recognition upon request object,then  it will become becomes impossible to select any camera on the settings panel of the LPR channel object (see Selecting the video cameras to work with the LPR channel).

3. Set the Search area (2) checkbox in order to enable setting the search area border of the license plate in the frame.

4. Set the maximum and minimum size of license plates in Detection settings:

   1. Set the Max.width and Max.height parameters manually or using the  button (4), by clicking this button which, the interactive interface of for setting the zone parameters appearsappears—a video image from the corresponding camera.

      
   2. When required, click the Stop video button, select the required area using the left mouse button, and then click the OK button. 
      
      Results of setting zone parameters will automatically appear in the Max.width and Max.height fields.
      Set the Min.width and Min.height parameters parameters in the same way as Max.width and Max.height.

5. For the Frame count (56) parameter, set the number of frames that will be are analyzed when recognizing the license plate.

   Info
   title Note
   It is recommended to set We recommend setting the number of frames to no more than 1.

6. Set the Zooming (67) checkbox in order to speed up the license plate recognition for megapixel cameras without any quality loss. The request, which will trigger the camera, can be configured in two ways: 

   Info
   title Note
   This checkbox is relevant only when the width oh the of the Search area is is more than 150 pixels. The recognition speed increases:  2 times if the value of the Width parameter is more than 150 pixels; 4 times if the value of the Width parameter is more than 400 pixels; 8 times if the value of the Width parameter is more than 800 pixels.

7. Set the Select with best recognition accuracy checkbox (78) to show the recognition results with the highest accuracy rate, as since the bigger LP size does not always grant doesn't always result in better recognition accuracy. Operates only when using the VT recognition module.
8. Set the Select with biggest LP checkbox (89) to show the results result with the biggest LP sizessize. Operates only when using the VT recognition module.
9. From the Priority country drop-down list (910), select the country which whose LPs should must be shown first. Operates only when using the VT recognition module.
10. Click the Apply button (1011).

The You can configure the request, which will trigger the camera, can be configured in two ways:

1. Using a macro. To To do this, switch go to the Programming tab in  tab in Axxon PSIM and and select the Macros item item in the programming tools tree. A window for creating a macro will open, enabling you to create an event of any complexity that will trigger the recognition upon request. An example of the simplest macro for recognition upon request is shown in the figure below.  For For details on working with macros, see Creating macros.

2. Using a script or the IIDK interface. To do this, go to the Programming tab in Axxon PSIM and select the Scripts item in the programming tools tree. A window for creating a script will open, enabling you to create an event of any complexity that will trigger the recognition upon request. For details on working with scripts, see Creating a script. An example of a simple script for working with a camera for recognition upon request is shown below.

   Code Block
   language js
   QUERY_CAMERA|ID|RECOGNIZE

   where ID is the ID of the camera in the the Axxon PSIM objects tree.
