Plates at speed, not on request.
Highway and parking models, from a 4K fixed unit to a dedicated capture camera.
Four traffic jobs
Plate capture is an optics and timing problem before it is a software problem. Each scene has its own model in the line.
4K plate capture at the barrier, where the vehicle stops and the light can be controlled.
80BG801SM5A2-PTBA-LPRA dedicated capture camera for lanes where the plate crosses the frame in a fraction of a second.
LPR-H3KP500M4-TWide scene with a 1/1.8 inch sensor, for junctions and site roads rather than plates alone.

Stated capability from the product page and data sheet.
| Model | Scene | Resolution | Stated capability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80BG801SM5A2-PTBA-LPR | Parking, access control | 4K | High quality imaging at 4K |
| LPR-H3KP500M4-T | Highway lane | - | Vehicle plate capture and recognition |
| 80BFG403LM7A2-PTBA-RD | Road monitoring | 4MP | 1/1.8" sensor, powerful processing core |
| 80BG601LFA2-PTBR-FI | Remote lane, 4G | 6MP | 4G transmission, H.265+ |
Plate capture depends on shutter, angle and illumination. Send a photo of the lane and the speed limit before choosing the model.
Four things that break plate capture
None of them are fixed by a better camera, which is why the site survey comes first.
Plates read within a narrow horizontal and vertical window. A camera on the wrong side of a barrier misses half the traffic.
Motion blur at 30 to 60 km/h is a timing problem. Long exposure cannot be fixed in software.
Headlights at night blow out the plate. IR or white light at the right angle is what makes the read.
Dirty, tilted, or non reflective plates fail on any camera. Set the acceptance rate with the operator.
What to send with the enquiry
Four items that let me quote a working system rather than a camera.
- The lane photo from the proposed camera position, at night if possible.
- Speed limit and the direction traffic crosses the frame.
- Where the read goes: barrier control, a VMS, or an operator screen.
- Plate standard, since character sets and sizes differ by country.
