Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

Try then and then up the buffer in the BI setting for that camera. Default is 6, make it 20 and see if that improves it.
Helped a bit, but still lags behind.
Perhaps need to upgrade my BI machine. From my understanding Intel HW acceleration not working if motherboard does not support video out.
And NVidia hw acceleration not as good for BI?

What is the correct web browser to use for access to the GUI? For me, Chrome requires an extension which loads the camera login page but will not accept a Username/password, it just clears the fields. I tried Microsoft Edge and it uses the same Chrome extension. IE has it’s own plugin which does work to access the camera; however the video feed is black…

The only browser that I have found that displays the various windows correctly for this camera is Chrome using the IE extension.

Thanks, I have tried the extension in Chrome, however, it will not let me past the login screen for the camera, it just refreshes back to the login page with the fields cleared. I am very surprised to be having such a hard time getting this camera to work. The only video feed I can get to work is the live view from the ipconfig tool.. problem is that you cannot use it to configure the camera.

Were you able to get the camera working? When you use IE, are all screens black, even when you are in LPR config mode? If you are able to check the video settings, check to make sure that its encoding is "CBR" not "VBR". Mine was set to VBR and the camera wouldn't display the stream after a restart until I changed it back to CBR.

No I did not, the video stream is black in IE and the Chrome plug in just stays on the login screen on the camera's GUI. I tried resetting the camera back to factory defaults, I then set it to CBR and still no glory, so then I tried installing the chrome plug-in on a brand new Windows 11 machine and the same thing happens... stuck on the camera login GUI... I then added the camera to my Blue Iris and the stream is working; however, without the ability to set and use the ANPR piece, this is a no go... My new Win 11 system does not have IE and I don't think it will even support it, so I am at a loss of what to do next...

Try Pale Moon browser in the 32 bit version.

Bingo! Pale Moon 32b works!!! Finally! I am surprised that as sophisticated as this camera claims to be, that it takes a ancient web browser to use it! Anyhow, thank you so much for the help! Even Sleepy Joes has a cognitive moment once in a Pale Moon!

I read through this post but was unable to find information on your test capture distance, elevation, and FOV? I'm looking at this camera for LPR duty at the entrance to a gated storage facility. My concern is the elevation and viewing angle at (A) 110ft, 14ft, and 45 deg. I can move the camera closer (B) approx 90ft to target, but the angle increases to nearly
60 deg. The lot owner is not up for trenching from the building under the entrance / post work. Thoughts / Suggestions?

I'm running this camera with a capture point of 87 feet and about a 30 degree angle and while I get decent captures, I'm maxed out at the zoom the pixel per plate are less than recommended. At 110 feet I don't believe there would be enough zoom and that angle would be too extreme.
You should be ok, YES there is absolutely a recommendation I would always put in place when installing these for a project or installation where ANPR was a critical need BUT in your case here AND with this camera being very flexible (as I mentioned in my review) you should still get decent caps even in sub-optimal angle, distance etc. One benefit you have and something I advocate for in any LPR (and specifically ANPR) install is a choke point and you have that as you have an entrance that either has an access point (i.e. closed gate) OR that it funnels vehicles down to a narrow point of entry and reduced speed. The key in your install will be height and lighting at that choke point. You can certainly make 14ft work BUT I would go a little lower if possible. Lighting will be key so hopefully you have a relatively well lit area around the choke point. One last thing to remember is time within FOV. The more frames you (for LPR and the camera for ANPR) has to work with, the chances are that you improve the end results, a good, evidential ready plate capture.
HTH, let me know with any other questions
@Wildcat_1 , @Billyjack5 do you guys have country selection on LPR setup page? I got one from Andy, but only option is undefined

How is the new firmware working for you? I see that you are now on the 2021-07-19 version.
