Quick Reference Guide

A quick reference guide to help you understand the specifications and best practices for operating the Rekor Edge Pro.

Recommended Use Case

Typical Locations

Business districts, residential neighborhoods, parking lots, garages, campuses, government/business complexes

Typical Mission

Vehicle identification and ingress/egress monitoring at well-defined and marked access points

Recommended Coverage

Lane Coverage

1 lane

Distance

< 75 feet

Vehicle Speed

< 45 mph

Angle from Camera to License Plate

< 30°

Mounting Height

~12’

NOTE: This height is recommended to keep the camera out of pedestrian and vandalism range and avoid visual obstructions. Actual height limit must keep vertical angle to plate < 30°.

Capabilities

Resolution

1080p

Video Recording

Yes

Edge Video Retention

Based on available storage and scene complexity, estimated 2-5 days

Accuracy Expectation

Plate: >99% capture, >98% accuracy

State: 95% accuracy

NOTE: Expected accuracy when camera is properly scoped, positioned, aimed, and calibrated. Deviations to use case, coverage recommendations, and proper calibration will reduce these figures.

Best Practices

  • Capture of rear license plates only

  • Position the camera to have a mostly uniform lighting environment

  • Avoid visual obstructions and retroreflective signage in the field of view

  • Position the camera as close to a direct angle to the license plate as possible

  • Use a license plate on a tripod or a parked vehicle in the intended capture area while calibrating

  • Calibrate separate “day” and “night” mode camera settings using real-world day and night capture scenarios from the actual install location

  • The entire vehicle should appear in the frame at the point of aim

  • Target pixel density for optimal accuracy is > 120 PPF (Pixels Per Foot; 0.1” per pixel)

  • The recommended minimum pixel density is 70 PPF
