Quick Reference Guide
A quick reference guide to help you understand the specifications and best practices for operating the Rekor Edge Pro.
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
Lane Coverage
1-2 lanes
Distance
< 75 feet
Vehicle Speed
< 70 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°.
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.
*Actual performance will vary based on proper calibration and site selection.
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
