Chapter 1. Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
PLANET CV7-LP series (CV7-LP2 / CV7-LP4) is a video analytics software designed to detect
and recognize vehicle license plates. This software is able to automatically locate and read
license plates appearing in a certain area, and match this data against the database. It
provides efficiency in parking and traffic control, as well as law enforcement.
With the CV7-LP, you can easily cross-check if a vehicle that is passing through the parking
gate or parked in the designated space matches its parking permit. Moreover, law enforcement
officiers can effortlessly identify suspicious vehicles by matching the license plate with its
database.
Video Analysis
The CV7-LP provides analysis for live and pre-recorded videos. It is able to analyze live videos
from cameras and the CV7L NVR directly or recorded raw files. In addition, it can also analyze
playback videos from the CV7L NVR. Owing to this, the CV7-LP software provides more
flexibility and efficiency for surveillance applications.

Chapter 2. Camera Installation
The precision of the CV7-LP’s recognition depends on many factors, including: the image
quality in the video, the pixels counts shown, user applications, camera installation, etc.
Below are a few guidelines to take into consideration when installing your camera device:
1) Shooting Angle of the Camera: the shooting angle of the camera to the license place
should range from 10° to 45°, as shown in the illustration below:
2) Frame Rate in the Video Stream:
Your camera device’s frame rate should be set to 25fps or 30fps or higher.
3) Shutter Speed:
The shutter speed on your camera device should be faster than or equal to 1/100 or
1/120 seconds.
4) Shape of the License Plate:
The shape of the license plate captured in your video should be as similar to a
rectangle as possible.
5) Height of Characters and Distance between Characters on License Plate:
When captured by your camera device, the height of the characters should be taller
than 40 pixels, and the distance between characters should be wider than 4 pixels.
6) Image Quality:
Image quality is critical for the CV7-LP’s recognition function to work properly. Please
make sure the exposure, sharpness, and color presentation of the image captured by
your camera device is adequate.
