Plate Pixels
More horizontal pixels across the plate generally improve character readability, but lighting, focus, compression, glare, and shutter speed remain critical.
REKON TECHNOLOGY
Estimate plate pixel width, scene width, capture distance, viewing angles, shutter-speed guidance, and overall license-plate capture suitability.
CAPTURE RESULTS
Enter the camera, roadway, and vehicle values, then calculate.
More horizontal pixels across the plate generally improve character readability, but lighting, focus, compression, glare, and shutter speed remain critical.
Lower horizontal and vertical angles preserve the apparent width and height of the plate. Large combined angles reduce usable plate detail.
This is a planning calculator, not a manufacturer certification tool. Confirm final performance with the selected camera, illuminator, lane geometry, and real-world test captures.
