LED RADIATION
DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY USING OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS (MAGNIFYING GLASSES,
LENS OR MICROSCOPES)
LED PRODUCT RISK GROUP 1
● * MAXIMUM OPTICAL POWER OUTPUT: 29W
● * AVERAGE OPTICAL POWER: 0.9W
● PULSE DURATION: 1 ms pulses with regular inactivity intervals of 15ms.
● * WAVE LENGHT: 850 nm
● LED PRODUCT CLASS 1M, as to UNE-EN 62471:2009 standard
Don't look directly at the light source of the unit from a short distance (20 cm) for
more than 30 seconds in a row. The light source emits infra-red light unnoticeable to
the human eye but which can damage the retina in case of long exposures.
If you think that the light source is not working properly and you want to check it, use the
diagnostic tool that comes with the unit, set Live Camera on and point the light source to a
reflective object. Another easy method to see the light source working is by setting the Live
Camera on and facing the light source with a digital camera (for instance, any mobile
integrated camera). On the digital camera you will be able to see the led shinning (due to the
fact that digital cameras are infra-red sensitive).

SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Basic concepts
Basic Concepts
This section provides a basic summary of the characteristics of a SmartLPR® Speed system. It
includes the basic operation of the system, models available, the different alternatives of
development and communications, as well as the previous steps required before installing the
equipment.
Quercus Technologies 8
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Basic concepts
1. Introduction
1.1. What SmartLPR® Speed is
SmartLPR® Speed is an LPR system which has been specially designed to be used in open
traffic lanes (without a barrier), where vehicles can travel at high speed1.
SmartLPR® Speed is based on All-In-One concept, which embeds in a single equipment all the
operations needed for license plate recognition (image acquisition and further processing), so
that installation becomes much easier compared to systems using different capture and
process units.
1.2. System description
SmartLPR® Speed is composed of a single set of hardware that must be installed in each lane
to be controlled.
The equipment integrates all elements required for I/O signals, communications, lighting of a
specific area, image capture and processing.
1.3. Operating Modes
The main purpose of SmartLPR® Speed is to provide the license number of vehicles in
controlled lanes to the client application, regardless of its nature.
The system has three operating modes:
● Continuous: SmartLPR® Speed captures and process images in a continuous and
indefinite way. The best recognition result for each vehicle is notified to the client
application.
● Software Trigger: the client application notifies SmartLPR® Speed of the presence of a
vehicle. The vehicle image is automatically captured and processed. The results
obtained are sent back to the client application.
● Hardware Trigger: SmartLPR® Speed itself directly receives the information about
the presence of a vehicle from a sensor installed in the lane. The client application is
immediately notified about it. Then, the vehicle image is captured and processed. The
results obtained are sent back to the client application. When the vehicle leaves the
lane, the client application is once again notified.
1 Recognition rate is not affected for speed up to 200 km/h. At higher speed, this rate can decrease.
Quercus Technologies 9
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Basic concepts
1.4. Available models
There are various unit models of SmartLPR® Access that allow to satisfy different
requirements. According to the criteria, the models are the following:
Number of simultaneous countries
● SmartLPR® Speed: limited to simultaneously recognize license plates from 5
countries.
● SmartLPR® Speed Plus: no limits of simultaneous countries.2
Power
● Alternate current: works from 110VAC to 240VAC and 50 Hz to 60Hz.
● Direct current: requires power from an external 12VDC network.
Temperature control
● Without temperature control module: does not provide protection against extreme
temperatures.
● With temperature control module: provides protection against extreme
temperatures and increases its working range.
All models are absolutely compatible (at a software level) amongst them and can be combined
in the same installation without any problem. Check the lists at the end of this manual to know
the references and technical specifications of each model.
1.5. Optional parts
The following parts are available for case housing models:
● Wall mount: with rotating and tilting head, that allows to fix the unit on any wall and
position it properly.
● Celling support: with rotating and tilting head, that allows to fix the unit on any wall
and position it properly.
● Tube adapter: to be used together with a wall mount or a ceiling support, it allows to
fix the unit in any horizontal or vertical mast.
2 It is not recommended to enable the simultaneous recognition for more countries than the ones strictly necessary, as the system performance could decrease.
Quercus Technologies 10
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Basic concepts
1.6. Integration
SmartLPR® Speed communicates with the client application using the protocol described in the
SmartLPR® Programming Manual. The same protocol is used for communications using RS-232
and UDP/Ethernet.
1.6.1. Development Alternatives
In the case of UDP/Ethernet communications, the protocol is embedded in C and C++ libraries
which are compatible with Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux. These libraries simplify the
communications between the client application and various SmartLPR® Speed units and add
specific functionalities, such as log register.
The advantages and disadvantages of each integration method are described next:
● Class library in C++: dynamically linked library for Windows and GNU/Linux that
provides an object oriented vision of the system. The source code of a proxy in a fully
portable C++ language is provided with the dynamically linked library, which can be
used with any C++ compiling program. The library manages the simultaneous and
transparent communications with various lanes. It implements a high level interface
which facilitates the programming tasks in C++. Available for Windows or GNU/Linux
systems.
● Function library in C: dynamically linked library for Windows and GNU/Linux that
provides a function oriented vision of the system.
As in the case of the C++ library, the source code of a proxy in a fully portable C
language is provided with the library, which can be used with any C compiling program.
It also manages the simultaneous and transparent communications with various lanes.
Allows to program in C while keeping the high level vision provided by the C++ library.
It can be used with both C and C++ languages. Available for Windows or GNU/Linux
systems.
● Through UDP or serial protocols of SmartLPR® Speed: The definitions of the
protocol used for the communication activities are provided in a header file (SA.h)
including examples of use, programmed in ANSI C. In addition, the basic routines for
UDP communications are also provided in UDPTools.c and UDPTools.h files. With these
files, any client application that interacts with SmartLPR® Speed can be programmed
from any device with network or serial transmission capabilities.
Quercus Technologies 11
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Basic concepts
1.6.2. Communication Alternatives
SmartLPR® Speed units communicate with the client application (which is referred to as the
“Central System” in SmartLPR® Speed) in two different ways:
● Using the UDP protocol: use of a standard 10/100 Mb Ethernet network.
● Using RS-232 serial communication: the SmartLPR® Speed setup system can be
used to select the speed, parity, etc. of the serial communications. (for more
information see the “Setup” chapter)
The different communication methods along with the possibility of having a different central
system for each lane or a central system for all lanes generate the following configurations:
1.6.2.1. Single Central system and UDP
Typical configuration of a central machine where a control application runs, which is, in turn, in
charge of the registration of movements and the management of all communications with the
lane equipment.
1.6.2.2. One central system per lane and UDP

SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Basic concepts
This is the most common setup used when each SmartLPR® Speed lane has to directly
communicate with the equipment of its associated lane. Each device acts as the central system
of the unit on each lane.
1.6.2.3. One central system per lane and RS-232
Similar to the previous one, this configuration is used in lanes where the equipment does not
have a network card.
1.7. Updates and compatibility
The software delivered with the unit is valid for every license plate recognition products of
SmartLPR® family.
SmartLPR® family of license plate recognition units have a firmware (internal execution
software) which can be updated.

1.7.1. Version numbers
Each version number of software/firmware is composed of three numbers (for example 2.4.5):
● The first number (named “major”) shows the main software/firmware version. It
indicates how many times important external/internal changes have been made.
● The second number (named “minor”) indicates how many times new functionalities
have been added to the major version.
● The third (named “revision”) indicates how many times errors have been fixed in the
“major.minor” version.
The initial version of every SmartLPR® product is 1.1.0.
1.7.2. Version compatibility
Client software is always backwards compatible, so you can control all SmartLPR® versions by
using the latest one.
In order to know if a firmware update is compatible with your unit, the current version must be
checked and compared with the update version.

2. Before installation
2.1. Design and execution of civil works
SmartLPR® Speed units can be installed in two different ways:
● Front installation: the unit is able to work under the three available methods, which
are hardware trigger, software trigger and continuous.
● Rear installation: possible but not recommended. Lots of vehicles (lorries, 4x4, etc.)
have their plate in a position impossible to be completely visualized from a high point
(hidden by the trailer if the vehicle is a lorry or by the spare wheel in case of a 4x4
vehicle, etc.). This renders a non-optimal result when reading rear license plates.
Several parameters will depend on the installation height and the maximum lane width (image
bottom) to be captured. The following diagrams show the different system parameters:

Quercus Technologies 17
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Basic concepts
● Max Speed: Maximum speed allowed for vehicle capture (km/h).
In general, recognition rate increases as lane width is smaller because the images captured of
the plates will be bigger. However, width decrease can also produce a loss on the maximum
speed that vehicles can reach while being captured from the highest points.
To work in “Trigger Hardware”, sensors must provide a signal with a time duration of more
than 25 ms for each vehicle detection.
The correct operation of any LPR system depends on several external factors. Most of these
factors can be optimized if considered during sensor and camera location design. Quercus
Technologies can only guarantee an optimum performance of the SmartLPR® Speed
system if the design of the different parts of the system is carried out observing the
guidelines described above. If there are any unavoidable, physical limitations, which do not
allow you to follow the indicated procedures, it is important to install the capture units with the
assistance of Quercus Technologies Support department.
2.2. Wiring
Each SmartLPR® Speed recognition unit must have the following cables:
Power
● shielded power cable: 3x1.5mm² or 2x2.5mm² cross-section (direct current) or
● shielded power cable: 3x1.5mm² cross-section (alternate current)
Networking
● Shielded Network cable: UTP cable, category 5 (ethernet networking) or
● 3-wire serial shielded cable (RS-232 serial port communication).
I/O (optional)
● 12-pin shielded cable (if 2 inputs and 8 outputs are required) with a 0.22mm2 cross-
section.

SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
Software
This section describes the client software available on the CD-ROM, as well as the installation
procedures and its configuration process.
No physical units of SmartLPR® Speed are required to follow the steps described in this
section, since only the client software is installed, which is the software used to communicate
and interact with one or more units.
Quercus Technologies 20
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
4. IntroductionTo better understand this section, we must incorporate a series of concepts that will repeat in
the description of the SmartLPR® Speed software (in the diagnostic tool, setup phase, etc.).
In a SmartLPR® Speed client application (programmed using Quercus Technologies
development libraries), the units are grouped by means of logical process in “remote
systems”. A remote system is described as a group of SmartLPR® Speed units on which certain
actions can be applied at the same time (restart and obtain the status, among others). The
number of remote systems in a SmartLPR® Speed application and the number of units in a
remote system are unlimited.
The purpose of grouping units in remote systems is to provide a common link for each group of
units. For example, in case of installing a SmartLPR® Speed system in a parking with two
groups of lanes which are far apart from each other (let's call them “north” and “south”), when
we have the units divided into two remote systems (one for “north” lanes and another one for
“south” lanes), the parking operators will be able to easily identify the parking area affected in
the case of, for example, a communication breakdown.
The following diagram shows an example of the application with five SmartLPR® Speed units
divided into two remote systems with three and two units, respectively.

5. Client Software InstallationDownload the latest software version to be found at the following web page:
http://downloads.quercus.biz/
As this software is always backwards compatible, the latest version can be used with all units
unless the opposite is explicitly agreed.
5.1. Windows Installation
Run the installation program “setup .exe” and follow the installation steps here.
If the system has already installed an older version of this software, and the newer release
only differs in revision number ( for example the installed version is 2.2.3, and the new version
is 2.2.5), the software will be installed in the same folder overwriting only the necessary files,
and leaving one uninstall menu entry.
5.2. GNU/Linux Installation
Run the installation program you have downloaded and follow the installation steps.
5.2.1. Dependencies
The executable files for GNU/Linux are dynamically linked, thus the following components must
be installed. All those components are installed (or available for their installation) in any
modern Linux distribution.
To develop and run the programs without a graphic interface:
● glibc v2.3.2: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html
To run the programs with a graphic interface you will also need:
● XFree86-libs v4.3.0: http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/
5.3. Installed files
The following sub-folders are found in the installation folder:
● Bin: Executable files and libraries. Includes the following files:
● SLPRDiag(.exe): diagnostic tool. Allows to check the operation of different units,
from a central system.
● AccessSimu(.exe): SmartLPR® Access unit simulator (text mode) used to
Quercus Technologies 22
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
develop client applications for SmartLPR® Access without the need of a physical

6. Central System SetupThe central system will be set up by means of a text file. The client application must use this
setup file to initialize the development library of SmartLPR® Speed (be it C or C++).
The setup file can have any name and it can be stored anywhere in the client machine.
However, if you are going to use it from the “SLPRDiag” diagnostic tool (see the 7 Diagnostic
tool section for more information) it must be stored in the “Data” folder of the installation
directory and it must be called “Central.ini” since that is what SLPRDiag expects to find.
The file is divided into sections, and each section has a series of variables of the
“Variable=Value” type. Spaces can be left before and after the “=” symbol, since they will be
ignored.
6.1. Section [Global]
Includes the general system parameters.
● LogLevel: Level of information shown in the records. Possible values:
● 1: Message: all messages will be displayed.
● 2: Warning: Only warning or error messages will be displayed.
● 3: Error: only error messages will be displayed.
● HistoricSize: Number of movements stored per detection unit. The movements are
stored in the folder where the log file is located (<installation folder>/Default Log)
RemoteX/LaneY” where “X” and “Y” represent remote system and lane index,
respectively. Each movement involves the storage of two files, one with the movement
data (license number, time, etc.) and a jpeg image with the photograph of the vehicle.
Therefore, limitations on the number of files contained in one folder must be taken into
account when setting this value.
6.2. Section [Network]
Contains general network parameters.
● ConfigPort: UDP port which will receive answer messages from the unit configuration
system. The default value is 7040.
● ListeningPort: UDP port which will receive unit messages. The default port used to
receive messages is 7050, so we recommend using this value.
● Password: encryption password. Please consult the SmartLPR® Programming manual.
● Timeout: Time to wait, in milliseconds, from the moment of sending a message to a
Quercus Technologies 25
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
unit until it is considered that the message has not reached its destination and it has to
be resent (or canceled if the number of retires has been exceeded). The recommended
value ranges between 300 and 1000 (if the network of the units has heavy traffic, this
value may be slightly higher).
● Retries: number of retries to send a message before considering it could not be sent.
The recommended values are 2 to 3 retries.
6.3. Section [RemoteSystems]
Contains the information applicable to all remote systems.
● MonitoringPeriod: Seconds between checks on the unit status. The recommended value
is between 10 and 30 seconds.
● RSNumber: number of remote systems in which the system is divided. There has to be
as many RemoteSystemX sections as indicated here and they must be numbered from
1 to X. The remote systems will appear in the collection of remote system lanes
accessible from the development libraries (as well as from the diagnostic tool) in the
order declared here.
6.4. Section [RemoteSystemX]
Contains the “X” remote system parameters.
● RSLanes: comma-separated list, containing the units grouped under this remote
system. The grouped units will appear in the collection of remote system lanes
accessible from the development libraries (as well as from the diagnostic tool) in the
order declared here.
6.5. Section [LaneY]
Contains the “Y” lane (or unit) parameters.
● ConfigPort: UDP port where the unit will wait for configuration messages from the
Central System. The default setup is 7039, thus this is the recommended value.
● Host: IP address of the unit. Names can be used instead of the IP Address, in which
case access must be configured to a DNS server which will translate the names into IP
addresses.
● Port: UDP port where the unit will wait the messages from the central system. The
default setup is 7051, thus this is the recommended value.

7. Diagnostic toolThe SLPRDiag diagnostic tool can be used by the operator to check the capture units operation
from the central system.
To use the diagnostic tool, shut down the client application (if running), since both use the
same UDP port to receive messages from units, and they cannot be operating at the same
time.
The program can be run with or without arguments. If it is not executed with arguments, the
program will look for the setup file in “<SLPRDiag folder>/../Data/Central.ini” and the log file
will be stored in “<SLPRDiag folder>/../Log/Central.log”. However, if it is executed with
arguments, the first argument must be the path of the setup file and the second one the path
of the log file. Example: SLPRDiag Central2.ini Central2.log.
The application is divided into three zones:
● Button Bar.
● Main zone.
● Status bar.
7.1. Status bar

7.3.4. Live Camera
Allows to view the images the camera is currently capturing. Its main function is to properly
adjust the lens.
Quercus Technologies 35
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
This tab will only show data if the active item in the button bar is a lane; the window will
appear empty if the active item is a remote system or the whole system.
Live Camera feature must only be used for lens adjusting purposes, as it negatively
affects the recognition system in a way that it could prevent the unit from recognizing
license plates while it is enabled.
The window is divided into 3 parts:
● Image: image currently being received from the camera. Located in the upper part of
the window.
● The Numerical focus allows to adjust the camera lens without having to trust the
human eye for small variations in image clarity.
● Graphical focus: Similar to the previous one, but with a visual representation of the
information.
Active Buttons
● Exposure time: Allows to set the exposure time (in μs) the images will be captured in.
● Start: Start receiving live images.
● Stop: Stop receiving live images.
● Clear/Restart: Refresh numerical and graphical focus data.
● Previous: decrease by 20 % of the exposure time.

Quercus Technologies 36
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
7.3.4.1. Numerical/graphical focus
The Numerical/graphical focus allows to adjust the camera lens without having to trust the
human eye for small variations in image clarity.
To make a good use of the numerical focus, follow the steps below:
1. Start Live Camera.
2. Place the red rectangle that appears printed on the image on the zone you wish to get
the maximum image clarity. In order to do so, mark with a mouse click a corner of the
rectangle you want to draw; a little red cross will appear on the marked point. Mark
with another mouse click the opposite corner, and the new rectangle will appear red
bounded.
3. Click the “Clear/Restart” button to initialize focus data.
4. Make a very slow “scan” with the focus ring of the camera lens, from the initial position
to the end. Then, “Max” field value will show the maximum focus value reached.
5. Adjust the focus ring of the lens until the value of the field “Focus” is equal to the value
of the filed “Max” .
The graphical focus provides the same data as the numerical focus but with an easier
representation. X axis represents the time and Y axis represents the focus value. The higher
the value appears at any given time, the better is the image focused. The vertical line sets the
current point in the graphic and the horizontal line the current focus value. When the two lines
appear red, the focus value reached maximum; when the current value is below maximum, the
lines appear gray.
7.3.5. Statistics
It allows to make an objective evaluation of the adjustments of the camera. Therefore, the
system must be left running for at least 24 hours (to be able to evaluate all light conditions)
and until hundreds of vehicles have been recorded. The application should be running and
correctly configured to be able to store the necessary number of vehicles in history, and also in
order to have a clean history.
This tab will only show data if the active item in the button bar is a lane; the window will
appear empty if the active item is a remote system or the whole system.
Quercus Technologies 37
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
To see the statistics, click the "Start” button and the application will calculate the data
(depending on the number of vehicles, results may take a few seconds to appear). The values
shown have the following meaning:
● ROI average location: Map of license appearing frequencies in the images. The zones
where more licenses have appeared are colored brighter. Useful to know if the camera
is centered in the lane.
● Total Captures: Number of vehicles processed.
● With license: Total number and percentage of captures for which the license plate
number was found .
● Empty: Total number and percentage of captures for which a license plate number was
not found.
● Grammar ok: Total number and percentage related to captures with license where the
plate number matches any of the country grammars configured. This parameter is very
useful for lanes configured in trigger mode: For instance, a value between 90% and
95% will indicate that the lane is properly adjusted.
● Grammar failed: Total number and percentage related to captures with license where
its plate number does not match any of the country grammars configured.
● Unknown characters: Number of unknown characters for each thousand licenses.
Quercus Technologies 38
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Software
● Average quality: Average of the average quality parameter of all the captures with
license.
● Average minimum quality: Average of the average minimum quality parameter of all
the captures with license.
● From: Date and time of the first capture.
● To: Date and time of the last capture.
Active Buttons
● Start: Starts to calculate the statistics.
7.3.6. Configuration
Allows to access the configuration system of the unit by means of a embedded web server.
This tab will only show data if the active item in the button bar is a lane; the window will
appear empty if the active item is a remote system or the whole system.
Note that you can access the system configuration through this tab or through a web browser,
getting the same result. See paragraph 9.1 Main system configuration to find out more
information about the unit configuration system.
Active Buttons
● Start: Reconnects to the configuration system of the unit. Useful when the unit has
been rebooted.
● Clear/ Restart: refreshes current configuration page.
7.3.7. FTP
Allows to access the FTP server of the unit by means of an embedded FTP client.
This tab will only show data if the active item in the button bar is a lane; the window will
appear empty if the active item is a remote system or the whole system.
Note: if you use protocol encryption option, it will not be possible to access to the stored
recognitions through FTP; refer to SmartLPR® Programming Manual for more information.

9. FirmwareWe call “firmware” the software that runs internally in the unit.
Each unit has a default setup with IP address 192.168.1.2xy, where “xy” represents the last
two figures of the serial number of the unit. For example, a unit with serial number
04420120711002 will have IP address 192.168.1.202.
The serial number can be found on a label inside the unit.
To gain access to the configuration system, just choose the corresponding lane in
the diagnostic tool and then select the “Configuration” tab (also can be accessed via a web
browser at the URL http://<ip of the unit> ).
Once connected, a window asking for password will appear. The default password is “quercus2”
; it can be changed later, if necessary, through the configuration options.
The same window will show a list of languages from which the user can select the language of
the system.
When clicking the “Validation”, you will gain access to the configuration system window, which
is divided into 2 parts: on the left, the menu with the configuration options; on the right, the
specific screen of the option chosen.
The options are divided into the following sections:
● Configuration: Allows to make configuration changes editing the variables that rule the
behavior of the unit . Also allows to import or export all configuration settings and apply
changes or discard them.
● Main system Configuration: You can adjust the setup using variables, recognition
system parameters (exposure times, inputs and outputs, etc.) or general system
parameters (IP address, time zone, etc.).
● Import configuration from FTP: Allows to import the settings from an externally
generated file.

9.1. Main system configuration
The main system configuration is done by editing specific variables that set its behavior.
If you wish to restore the default value of the variable, leave the box empty. Changes will not
be applied until the option “Apply changes and reboot” is selected.
To obtain a description of the meaning of a variable, leave the mouse pointer on the variable
name for a few seconds and a small pop-up window with the information will appear.
When you finish editing the variables, do not forget to “Save Changes”.
9.1.1. Variables
9.1.1.1. Communications
● CentralSystemHost: IP address of the central system.
● CentralSystemHost2: IP address of the second central system.
Quercus Technologies 49
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
● CentralSystemPort: port where the central system will receive messages from units.
● CentralSystemPort2: port where the second central system will receive messages from
units.
● CompressionQuality: compression used to send images in JPEG format (1 to 100); the
higher the number, the higher the quality, although with a bigger size.
● ConfigurationServerPort: port where the unit configuration server will wait for
configuration protocol messages.
● DateProtocol: protocol used in date and time synchronization. Possible values are
“TIME” and “NTP”. If set to “TIME”, the protocol used will be the one specified in “ARPA
Internet RFC 868” document; if set to “NTP”, the protocol used will be Network Time
Protocol.
● DateServer: date and time server that will synchronize the unit once a day.
● Gateway: gateway to Internet access. Used when the central system is out of the local
network of the unit, otherwise it can be left pointing to “127.0.0.1”.
● HostName: name of the unit. Used in case you wish to give each unit a different name.
● IP: IP address of the unit.
● ListeningPort: port where the unit expects to receive messages.
● MaxMsgVersion: the messages that the unit will generate will not be of a version higher
than the one indicated. It allows the client applications that implement an older version
of the protocol to communicate with new units, without having to wait for the protocol
negotiation mechanism to be done.
● NameServer1(2,3,4): DNS servers. Used when the addresses are specified as names
instead of Ips (for example, “example1.quercus.biz”). If you do not wish to use names
in the unit setup, leave them as “127.0.0.1”.
● Netmask: network mask of the unit.
● ObserversDefaultPort: default port where the message will be sent to the observers. For
more information, please refer to the SmartLPR® Programming Manual.
● ObserversList: list of IP addresses and Ports of the observers. The list must be comma-
separated "," where each item has the following format <ip_address>[:port] . If port is
omitted, the port used will be the one set in ObserversDefaultPort. Example:
“192.168.1.3:4444, 192.168.1.4”. For more information, please refer to the SmartLPR®
Programming Manual.
● Password: protocol encryption password. For more information, please refer to the
SmartLPR® Programming Manual.
● Protocol: communications protocol used. Possible values: UDP and Serial.
● Retries: number of retries for sending messages in case of failed deliveries.
● Timeout: time in milliseconds during which the system will wait for a response to a
Quercus Technologies 50
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
message before it is considered as not answered.
9.1.1.2. Engine
They are internal parameters used by the license plate recognition system. Modifying them, a
better performance rate can be achieved in very special circumstances. Never modify any of
these parameters except at Quercus Technologies support department request. The only
parameter to take into account is:
● EnableSquarePlates: when the value is 0, recognition for “Square” plates ( plates with 2
lines of characters) is disabled. When the value is 1, “Square” plates recognition is
enabled,provided that the grammar of the enabled regions allows it. This parameter
permits to recognize “square” rear plates of certain vehicles such as 4x4 models. Do not
enable it unless it is absolutely necessary, as system performance might decrease.
9.1.1.3. Global
● DiskHistoricSize: storage space (in Mb) reserved to save recognitions in the unit. If its
value is -1, the behavior is compatible with version 3.3.x or older; and value 0 indicates
that the history is not used (although it always saves the last recognition).
● LogFilter: text string which will be established as a filter of messages that you want to
include in the log file. The filter allows you to use “*” as the pattern to indicate any text
string. For example, if the filter is established as *Photo* only the messages with the
Photo string will be displayed. The default value of the filter is “*”, in other words, all
messages are displayed.
● LogLevel: Level of information shown in the records. Possible values:
● 1: Message: all messages will be displayed.
● 2: Warning: Only warning or error messages will be displayed.
● 3: Error: only error messages will be displayed.
● SystemId: Identifier of the unit. Each unit in a SmartLPR® Speed system must have a
unique identifier.
● TimeZone: time zone of the machine. Used to ensure the date and time synchronize
synchronization will take time zone differences into account. Possible values are listed
in appendix B.
● Watchdog: activates a hardware part that reboots the unit in case of malfunctioning.
The possible values are: 1 active, 0 inactive.
● WorkingMode: the operation mode of the unit. Possible values:
● Software: The unit does not detect vehicle movements and it is the central
system which determines when a detection should take place.
Quercus Technologies 51
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
● Hardware: The unit detects vehicle movements and it determines when the
detection should take place (every time a new vehicle arrives).
● Continuous: The unit is constantly capturing and processing images. When a
license plate is detected it is immediately sent to the central system.
● WorkingDirection: operation direction. Possible values: Front, the unit is set to capture
front plates. Rear, the unit is set to capture rear plates. See the variable called
“Engine/EnableSquarePlates” for more information about rear captures.
9.1.1.4. I/O
● SensorChannel: bit of the I/O card used as sensor. Possible values: 0 to 1 or –1 if the
sensor is not going to be used.
● SensorFilterTime: time (in ms) of the digital inputs filter against signal bouncing.
● UsedInputs: Comma separated list of inputs which must notify the change of status to
the central system. The possible values are 0 and 1.
9.1.1.5. OSD
Parameters that allow to choose and configure the information which should be printed as text
onto the picture itself.
● Active: sets the OSD system active or not: 1 enables it, 0 disables it.
● Position: image position where the text should be displayed. The possible values are:
● LeftTop: text is displayed in the upper
left part, left aligned.
● RightTop: text is displayed in the
upper right part, right aligned.
● LeftBottom: text is displayed in the
lower left part, left aligned.
● RightBottom: text is displayed in the
lower right part, right aligned.
Each data item that can be superimposed on the image is defined by two variables:
● LabelXXX: sets the text that must be displayed before the value of variable XXX. For
example, if LabelCarId is set to “Vehicle identifier” and vehicle 3 arrives, the text
displayed will be “Vehicle Identifier 3”. If LabelXXX is empty, no text will be displayed
before the value.
● OrderXXX: sets the order which the item XXX will be displayed, if the value is -1, the
item will not be displayed. For example, if OrderCarId is 3, OrderLicense is 2, and
Quercus Technologies 52
Image
LeftTop
LeftBottom RightBottom
RightTop
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
OrderMinQuality is 1, MinQuality will be displayed first, then License, and last CarId.
The data items available are the following:
● AvgQuality: average quality of the recognized license plate (from 0 to 1).
● CarId: vehicle identifier.
● Chars: recognized license without blanks, hyphens or any additional decoration.
● Country: character or characters identifying the country of the recognized license.
● GrammarOk: shows if the license matches any known grammar: 1 matches, 0 doesn't
match.
● LaneId: identifier of the lane where the image comes from.
● License: recognized license with the corresponding additional decoration (blanks,
hyphens, etc.). If the license doesn't match with any known grammar, this item will not
contain any decoration.
● MinQuality: quality of the character worst recognized (from 0 to 1).
● NumberOfUnknownChars: number of unknown chars (displayed as question mark in the
license).
● Qualities: individual character qualities (from 0 to 1, comma separated).
● Roi: rectangle inside the image where the license was found, formatted as
“(<left>,<up>)-(<right>,<down>)”. If the license doesn't match with any grammar, or
it is empty, the value of this field will be the image dimensions.
● Timestamp: date and time of the recognition formatted as “year-month-day
hour:minute:second”.
● TriggerId: identifier of the trigger event.
9.1.1.6. PPU
● Host: IP address of the SmartLPR® Power Process Unit that the unit will communicate
with.
● Port: port where the module will receive the messages of the units.
● Reserved1: reserved. Do not modify unless Quercus Technologies support department
explicitly indicates you to do so.
See 11 Annex A: SmartLPR® Power Process Unit for more information.
9.1.1.7. Recognizer
● DelayTime: can have three different uses:
● Sensor delay: Negative DelayTime. Sets the time in milliseconds for the the
Quercus Technologies 53
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
image to be taken from the moment when a vehicle actives the sensor (or, in
the case of units configured in software mode, when a "trigger" message is
received). It is mainly used when the sensor introduces a known constant delay
in the detection of a vehicle. For example, if the detection sensor has a relay
which takes 50 ms to activate, this variable should be set to “DelayTime= -50”.
● Sensor between the visual field and the camera: Negative DelayTime. It is used
in situations when, due to physical reasons,
the sensor had to be installed in a position
more advanced than the optimum one. The
attached figure shows the time that a
vehicle takes to run the space represented
by the red arrows. This solution is not advisable because the time a
vehicle will take to do it depends on its speed.
● Sensor in the visual field of the camera: Positive DelayTime. Sets the time in
milliseconds while the image capture will
intentionally be delayed from the moment when a
vehicle actives the sensor (or, in the case of units
configured in software mode, when a "trigger"
message is received). It is used in situations when,
due to physical reasons, the sensor had to be installed in a position behind the optimum
one.
The attached figure shows the time that a vehicle takes to run the space represented by
the red arrows. This solution is inadvisable also because the time a vehicle will
take to do it depends on its speed.
● EmptyLicenseOnGrammarFailed: the license is returned if grammar is not correct.
Possible values: 0 (license plate without changes), 1 (license plate with question marks)
and 2 (empty license plate).
● ExposureTimes: list of exposure times, in microseconds, used to capture images. There
are 7 exposure times defined.
● ImagesToSave: indicates that the unit will temporarily store the captured images. The
possible values are: “None”, where no images are stored. “Best”, stores the image with
the best quality for each vehicle. “All”, stores all images of each vehicle. If you select
any value different to “None”, a folder called “LastImages” will appear in the FTP server
of the unit, where the images will be stored in BMP format. The images of the last three
vehicles will be stored. In continuous mode "All" is the same as "Best".

● MaxNumberOfUnknownChars: maximum number of unknown characters (or with a
quality too low) that will be accepted on a license plate in order to consider it valid
(only used in Continuous mode).
● MinAvgQuality: the minimum average quality a license plate should have to be
considered valid (only used in Continuous mode). Possible values: from 80 to 100.
● Regions/Spain, Regions/Denmark, etc.: countries for which the license plate recognition
is needed. To enable the recognition of a country, a value higher then zero must be set.
This value will also set the priority order (ascending order) that this country will have in
the list of enabled countries. When the recognition engine has doubts about a license, it
will try to match it with the grammars of higher priority countries.
It must be taken into account that the more enabled countries you have, less
recognition reliability and longer response time you will get.
To disable a country, the value to be set is “-1” .
● Reserved1,2,3,4: reserved parameters. Do not modify them unless Quercus
Technologies support department explicitly indicates you to do so.
● SendRepeatedLicenses: indicates, in case of finding a repeated license, if it must be
sent (1) or not (0). (only used in Continuous mode).
● SendRepeatedLicensesTimeout: minimum time in milliseconds that will elapse between
sending two identical licenses when the variable 'SendRepeatedLicenses' is equal to 1.
(only used in Continuous mode).
Example:
If the variable 'SendRepeatedLicensesTimeout'=10000 and the license is recognized,
this same license will never be recognized and sent again after the 10 seconds pass.
9.1.1.8. Serial
● Baudrate: serial port transmission speed (only needs to be configured if you have
selected the serial communications option). Possible values: 57600, 19200, 9600,
4800, 2400, 1200, 600 and 300.
9.2. Import configuration with FTP
Used to upload an externally predefined configuration(by Quercus Technologies technical
service) to the unit. To achieve this, you will have to first upload (using FTP) the file
“Config.dat” that Quercus Technologies support department has provided. Then, you are
ready to use this option. Take into account that any changes made to the unit configuration
will be lost. Changes will not be applied until the option “Apply changes and reboot” is
Quercus Technologies 55
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
selected.
9.3. Export configuration with FTP
Its main purpose is to provide the current configuration to Quercus Technologies technical
service, so that they can help you to set up the unit or to make a configuration settings
backup. If this option is selected, a file named “Config.dat” will be generated in the FTP server.
It will contain the current settings of the unit. You will only need to copy the file from the FTP
server or using the link provided by the configuration system.
9.4. Change configuration system password
Allows to enter a new password to login to the configuration system. You must enter the
current password, and the new one twice (to avoid mistakes while typing that could end up in
entering a wrong password). The new password will be valid from the moment it is entered.
9.5. Apply changes and reboot
This option saves all changes made in “Main system configuration”, and reboots the unit with
its new configuration. It must also be used after importing configuration with FTP.
9.6. Discard changes
This option discards all changes made in “Main system configuration”.
9.7. System information
This option shows the serial number, the production date of the unit, product version and other
data that Quercus Technologies support department might need in order to help if you have
doubts about the configuration, updates, etc.
9.8. Recognizer log
Shows the log generated by the plate recognition system while running. Each line in the log is
divided into parts separated by the symbol “|”. The first part corresponds to date and time
(formatted as “Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second”). The second part indicates the severity
level of the messages, that can be:
● “Message”: informative messages.
● "Warning": Alerts that might not correspond to any problem but they must be taken
Quercus Technologies 56
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
into account because they could be caused by a configuration error.
● "Error": Errors, which could mean configuration or hardware errors.
The fourth part is the message body.
In case of unit malfunctioning, check this log as it will probably give you information
on the error.
The whole log file can be downloaded using the link from the upper part of the window.
9.9. Serial adapter log
Shows logs generated by serial communication system. The file will only exist if serial
networking is enabled in the unit. It has the same format as the recognizer log.
9.10. File system log
Shows the report generated after checking the system disk, where recognitions are stored. The
report is generated during boot process and informs about disk status. If errors are
encountered, the report describes steps to try to solve them.
9.11. Configuration Log
Shows logs generated by the configuration system of the unit.
9.12. View recent recognitions
Shows the images of the last 10 vehicles recognized. Clicking on one image, the image at its
actual size will be shown together with the recognition data stored in the XML file (See
SmartLPR® programming manual for more information).
9.13. View last captured images
Shows an image mosaic with the images of the last 3 vehicles processed.
To get these images generated, the variable “Recognizer->ImagesToSave” must be set to
“Best” or “All” (to store only the best image or one for each exposure time used, respectively)
To view an image at actual size, just click on it.
Viewing these images can be very useful to determine if the camera is properly adjusted, as a
sequence of images of each vehicle can be seen instead of only one image, as it happens
Quercus Technologies 57
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
during the normal operation of the unit.
9.14. Export system status to FTP
It is used to generate a system status report of the unit for the Quercus Technologies technical
service, in order to detect possible errors in the unit. If this option is selected a file called
“SystemStatus.dat” that contains the report will be generated. You will only need to copy the
file from the FTP server or using the link provided by the configuration system.
9.15. Contact info
Provides the necessary information to contact with the Quercus Technologies technical service
(email, phone, etc.)
9.16. Adjust the date and time
Allows to manually set the internal date and time of the unit. The new date and time will be
effective from the moment is entered (no need to reboot the unit).
9.17. Synchronize time with server
Used to synchronize the time with the time server previously configured at the variable
“Communications -> DateServer”. Time is synchronized once a day, but it can be forced to do
it at any time using this option.
9.18. Firmware update
The firmware update is used to add newer versions of the Quercus Technologies recognition
system, either to repair detected bugs or to add new features.
9.18.1. Steps required before updating
Before installing updates, you must follow a series of steps so that the update would become
available. Follow these steps:
1. Get the firmware update file from Quercus Technologies (files with extension .upd).
WARNING: NEVER install an update that does not come directly from the technical
service of Quercus Technologies since you can seriously damage the firmware of the
unit. If fraudulent manipulation of the firmware installed is detected, the product
guarantee will be cancelled immediately.
Quercus Technologies 58
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
2. Use the diagnostic tool to transfer the file to the unit via FTP or open an FTP connection
to the unit (address ftp://<unit_IP_address>). The identification and password are the
same as those used in the setup process (default user “admin”, password “quercus2”).
You can access it directly from Microsoft Internet Explorer using the address
ftp://admin@<unit_IP_address> and entering the password when asked.
3. Upload the update file to the FTP server.
4. Close the FTP connection.
Please note that the data uploaded in the FTP server will not be permanently stored (it will be
deleted when the unit is rebooted) so upload the file when you actually plan for the update to
take place.
9.18.2. Update
When the file has been uploaded to the FTP server you can update the system. To do that,
select “Update Firmware” option on the menu.
If there are update files available in the server, the system will ask you which file you wish to
use; select the right file (normally there will be only one available). If you select this option, a
window describing the actions to be taken will appear: If you agree, click the “Update” button.
Once the update has finished, a window with the result of the update will appear, and the unit
will reboot, now using the new firmware.
Updating the unit firmware is a delicate operation. If you are not sure about the steps that
must be followed, please contact the support department of Quercus Technologies; our staff
will guide you through to safely update the system. In addition, take the following aspects into
account:
● The firmware update does not modify the current setup of the unit. However,
the new firmware might require the configuration of additional parameters
(initially found at their default value). See the documents attached to the
update to understand the steps to follow after the process.
● Do not update the system if there is a high probability of power outages. Although
every effort has been made to make the update process as reliable as possible, there is
always the possibility, as remote as it is, to cause irreversible damage to the unit
firmware.
● This process involves stopping the recognition system during the operation. Do not
update the system if you need the unit to remain operational.
● Make sure the update has been carried out successfully by checking the version
displayed by the unit before and after the process, using the diagnostic tool, for
Quercus Technologies 59
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
instance.
9.19. Restore original firmware
This option allows you to restore the original factory firmware of the unit (and configuration).
If you select this option, a window describing the actions to be taken appears: If you agree,
click the “Restore” button. Once the restoration is finished, a window with the result will be
shown, and the unit will reboot using the original firmware.
Restoring the firmware of the unit is also a delicate operation. Take into account the following:
● Restoring the firmware generates the total loss of the current setup and restores the
original factory settings. The unit will have the same IP address it originally had.
● Do not restore the system if there is a high probability of power outages. Although
every effort has been made to make the update process as reliable as possible, there is
always the possibility, as remote as it is, of causing irreversible damage in the unit
firmware.
● This process involves stopping the recognition system during the operation. Do not
restore the system if you need the unit to be operating.
● Make sure the restoration was successful by checking the version displayed by the unit
before and after the process (any development library of SmartLPR® Speed will let you
check the unit version).
If you encounter any problems during the restoration process, see 9.22 Firmware emergency
restore which explains an alternative method to restore the original firmware.
9.20. Format data disk
This option allows you to format the data disk of the unit, where recognitions are stored. You
can use this option to remove all the recognitions stored in the unit or whenever “Filesystem
Log” indicates it must be formatted. If you select this option, a window describing the actions
to be taken appears: If you agree, click the “Format” button. Once the process is finished, a
report will be shown; you must read the full report and check if any error occurred during the
format process. If the process successfully finished, you must reboot the unit to start working
with the formatted data disk. Otherwise contact Quercus Technologies support department.
Formatting the data disk is also a delicate operation. Take into account the following:
● The formatting involves the total loss of stored recognitions, as well as any
other file uploaded through FTP.
● Do not format the disk if there is a high probability of power outages. Although every
Quercus Technologies 60
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
effort has been made to make the update process as reliable as possible, there is
always the remote possibility to cause irreversible damage to the firmware.
● This process involves stopping the system and FTP/SFTP service. Do not format the
system if you need the unit to be operating.
● Check if the format process was successful. Read carefully the final report.
● Note that the format process may take several minutes while the unit must not be
stopped or rebooted.
9.21. Restoring configuration parameters
The configuration restore system allows to restore the original configuration parameters of the
unit regardless of the configuration system (using a button).
Warning: The configuration parameters restore system must only be used when is not
possible to restore the firmware using the usual method (configuration system). It could be
used, for example, to recover the factory IP address of a unit when the current one is
unknown.
To restore the factory configuration values using this method follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the button.
2. You will hear a sequence of beeps will followed by a longer one.
3. The unit will reboot. If you only wanted to reboot the unit, you can release the button.
4. If you keep the button pressed, 50 seconds later a sequence of beeps will sound
becoming shorter in duration, followed by a longer one.
5. Release the button before the next sequence of beep sounds to be over.
Warning: Warning: if the button is not released before the next series of beeps to be
over, firmware emergency restore will start (see 9.22 Firmware emergency restore ).
6. The unit will restore the firmware (and configuration) and will reboot with the new
settings.
7. Once you hear the usual start beep, the unit is already working with factory default
settings.
8. Some of the factory parameters will not be effective until you select "Apply changes
and reboot" (see 9.5 Apply changes and reboot ).
The beep sounds of "Restore configuration parameters" and those of "Reset" differ because the
last ones are constant whereas the fist ones increase their frequency.
9.22. Firmware emergency restore
The emergency restore system allows to restore the original firmware of the unit
Quercus Technologies 61
SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
independently of configuration system (using a button).
Warning: The emergency restore system must only be used when is not possible to restore
the firmware using the usual method (configuration system). It can be used, for example,
if there has been a power cut while the unit’s firmware was being updated, leaving it damaged.
To restore the firmware using this method follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the button.
2. You will hear a sequence of beeps followed by a longer one.
3. The unit will reboot. If you only wanted to reboot the unit, you can release the button.
4. If you keep the button pressed, 50 seconds later a sequence of beeps will sound
becoming shorter in duration, followed by a longer one.
5. You will hear again the same sequence of beeps becoming shorter in duration, followed
by a longer one.
6. Release the button.
7. The unit will restore the firmware (and configuration) and will reboot with the new
settings.
8. Once you hear the usual start beep, the unit is already working with its factory default
settings.
The beep sounds of "Emergency restore" and those of "Reset" are different because the last
ones are constant while the fist ones increase their frequency.

SmartLPR® Speed User Manual Hardware
All units are configured to reach the central system at 192.168.1.199 address, so you should
configure this address on the laptop you are going to use. See chapter 9 Firmware to find out
how to get the default IP address of each unit.
To adjust the camera the following steps must be taken:
1. Find in the table from 2.1 Design and execution of civil works chapter, the line
corresponding to the lane location: Height of installation and maximum width on image
bottom.
2. Set the unit at the inclination obtained from the table (β). An inclinometer could make it
easier. Obviously, the angle must be referenced to the ground. Therefore, if the road is
on a slope, you should add it to or subtract it from that inclination to maintain the
indicated angle with the road.
3. Set the lens zoom (central ring) to the value obtained in the table (chapter 2.1 Design
and execution of civil works) for the Zoom field.
4. If it is possible to stop car traffic while doing the setup of the lane, two cones should be
placed on both limits of the visual field. Every distance can be obtained from the table
(A1,L1,A2 y L2).
5. Connect the crossover cable to the unit and the laptop.
6. Start the laptop and the diagnostic tool.
7. Power up the unit.
8. Set the lens to the F 1.4 position.
9. Select, from the button bar, the remote system and the corresponding unit.
10.Click on the “Live camera” tab.
11.Select an exposure time to view the images clearly. Values between 100 and 1000 are
considered are the usual values, 100 for very bright areas (outdoors with sunlight) and
1000 for dark areas (inside parking lots, for example). Click the “Start” button to view
Quercus Technologies 68
Se

the images of the camera. If the exposure time has to be modified, click the “Stop”
button, modify the time and click the “Start” button again or use next/previous arrows
to increase/decrease by 20% the exposure time.
12. If the traffic cones are correctly placed, make sure that each of them appears at the
limit of the visual field of the 2 corners of the image. If not, set up the zoom/inclination
again, until both are at the limit.
13.Set up the focus so that the images are clearly displayed along the whole visual field.
You can use the diagnostic tool to obtain an exact setting.
14.Once a clear image is obtained, restore the lens to F4 position.
15.Tighten the ring nuts of the lens, to avoid future variations in focus.
10.6. Basic firmware configuration
If you are going to use the serial networking unit (and you don't want to install the network
cable), all configuration must be done with the unit door open, in this case have a look at
section 9 Firmware to know all configuration parameters. On the other hand, if UDP networking
is going to be used, you will only need to change the IP address of the unit and its identifier,
as the rest of configuration can be done from any computer connected to the LAN.
Take the following steps:
1. From the laptop, using the diagnostic tool or the web browser, access the unit
configuration system.
2. Type the password (the default one is “quercus2”) and the main menu will appear.
3. Click on “Main configuration system” option.
4. In the “Communications/CentralSystemHost” variable, enter the IP address of the
computer(the one running the client software) that will communicate with the unit .
This step is not required if you use serial networking instead.
5. In the “Communications/IP” variable, enter the IP address of the unit. If the central
system and the unit belong to different networks, you will also have to modify
“Communications/Gateway” and “Communications/Netmask” variables.
6. In the “Global/SystemId” variable, enter a single numerical value as identifier, unique
in all SmartLPR® system. For example, if you have three units, identify them as 1, 2
and 3, respectively.
7. Click on “Apply changes” button.
8. In the main menu, select “Apply changes and reboot” option. You will be asked for
confirmation and the unit will reboot. Click on the “Apply” button and the unit will
reboot with the new configuration.

10.7. Closing the unit
Once the basic configuration has been set, follow these steps:
1. Remove the crossed network cable of the laptop.
2. Place the network cable to be used.
3. Place the upper housing in place, fix the locks and its screws.
