Site suitability checklist
The SONY number plate reader uses an infrared camera to read the vehicle number plate, process the
information and then pass the details to the Net2 control unit via Wiegand output to the reader port.
The camera has manual iris, zoom and focus. It uses software to adjust the shutter speed to maintain
the maximum contrast on the number plate image.
Enter the user's number plate details into their Net2 user record. When the vehicle plate has been read
by the camera, access is then granted as appropriate and the access event is logged by Net2.

All points on the following checklist must be completed to achieve a reliable installation.
The vehicle will be stationary when the number plate is read.
The camera is sited 4 to 16 metres from where the vehicle will wait at the barrier.
(Capture point)
The vertical camera angle does not exceed 25° or the lateral angle 20°.
(see Viewing angle restrictions)
The lane width is not greater than 3.5 metres.
An IR reflective barrier or marker is positioned at the capture point to allow the camera
to maintain a good contrast level during periods of inactivity.
The barrier has no printed text upon it.
Only the front number plate is to be read.
No square number plates are required to be read.
Vehicle headlights are not directly pointing into the lens.
There is a clear view of the number plate without any temporary or permanent obstacles.
(e.g. passing or parked vehicles)
The sun is not directly behind the subject and reflections from the number plate
will not dazzle the camera.
