Best Replacement LPR Camera Systems
The LPR-HD2 system has been discontinued. Click here if you need a coax cable based LPR camera system. However, if you are looking for overall
best LPR camera system, please take a look at our Viewtron IP based system LPR camera system that includes a network LPR camera and network video recorder with built-in automatic number plate recognition software (ANPR). This is our best ANPR camera system by far.
The LPR camera included with this system is the LPR-TV75 which can be used to capture video of stationary vehicles and vehicles moving at a high rate of speed (up to 65 MPH / 105KM/hr). The HD-TVI-AD8 is used to provide an overview of the area being monitored. It is common for LPR cameras to be paired with overview cameras so that the LPR camera can be more focused on where the car plates enter the surveillance zone and the overview camera can focus on a much wider view that includes the surrounding area.
The DVR that is included with this system is the iDVR-PRO4A. It is a
4 channel CCTV / HD security camera DVR that can be used with standard definition CCTV cameras as well as high definition security cameras (up to 1080p). iDVR-PRO includes some of the best software applications used to monitor and manage these systems from iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, and Macintosh devices. The user interface that is used to manage the DVR directly using the included mouse or wireless remote control is extremely intuitive and easy to use.
The DVR and cameras included with this system come with a 2-year warranty and lifetime USA based technical support, both of which are provided directly from CCTV Camera Pros.

LPR Camera Traffic Modes
The LPR-TV75 supports the following traffic modes which can be easily be adjusted using the camera's DIP switches.
- Parking - used in parking lots and on roads with many vehicles at speeds less than 37 MPH (less than 60 km/hr). Light levels are typically low.
- Gate - used for gates and parking lots where traffic is low. Light levels are typically normal / bright. Vehicle speeds are below 37 MPH (60 km/hr) for direct front or rear angle views or less than 20 MPH (30 km/hr) for side angle installations.
- Road - used when the vehicle speed is fast - above 37 MPH (60 km / hr) and where light levels are high.
- Highway - used when there is less traffic and road is lit.
These traffic modes and how to set them up are explained in more details in the license plate camera users guide that is included.
License Plate Recognition Camera Setup
The above diagram will assist installers with setup and installation of the LPR-TV75. The housing can be opened using the latches on its side to access the internal camera.
- HD-TVI Video Out - this is a BNC female connection that provides the 1080p video output in HD-TVI format. Installers can use a cable from a spool of RG59 coax with a BNC male connector to attach this video output to an HD-TVI compatible surveillance DVR.
- Power In - the power input on this camera uses screw terminals which allow installers to attach 18/2 power cable (like the type used in RG59 Siamese cable) directly to these terminals. For installers who prefer to use premade Siamese cable, a PT-4 power lead can be used.
- Analog Video Out - this is a BNC female connection that provides low definition analog video output. This low definition video output can be used to connect an analog CCTV test monitor when installing and focusing the camera, however, we now supply test monitors for HD-TVI cameras and recommend these when installing HD security cameras.
- Traffic Mode DIP Switches - these switches are used to set the camera's traffic mode based on lighting, traffic density, and vehicle speeds.
- OSD Controls - installers can use these controls to access the camera's on-screen display to further adjust image settings.
- Varifocal Lens - installers can adjust the zoom level / angle of view and focus of the camera using the two lens rings located here.
