License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology is widely used for security, access control, and traffic monitoring. But there are many misconceptions about how it works—especially when it comes to camera resolution and software capabilities.
More Megapixels Aren’t Always Better
A common mistake when setting up an LPR system is assuming that higher-resolution cameras mean better results. In reality, a 2-megapixel (MP) camera often outperforms an 8-megapixel (MP) camera for license plate capture. Why? Because distance, angle, and lighting have a much greater impact on readability than resolution alone.
