License Plate Recognition Hardware updates

July 2026

L6D 1.9.2 release

Enhanced video capabilities

On July 15, 2026, the L6D was updated with new features and modifications for all L6D cameras. These updates provide robust new capabilities to help support your operations.

New features

The most recent release for L6D cameras includes the following features and enhancements:

Video playback:

L6D cameras now support local on-device storage and playback in the WebUI and video playback from CommandCentral Aware.

  • Review and manage onboard video storage in Setup  → Storage.
  • Older videos are automatically deleted as storage fills. 

Event page filtering and reporting:

Search for plates and filter detections by the attributes in the events list on the Events page and use the new Output Report options to create a report of the data in the events list.

HTTP port settings:

Configure the HTTP and RTSP ports in the camera's WebUI. Custom HTTP/RTSP ports are useful for remotely accessing the camera's video streams or the WebUI any time that port address translation is required, such as 5G Hub deployments.

Local retention period:

Easily set a retention period for detections stored on your camera in CarDetector → Events and OCR → Local Data Retention. The default is 7 days, with a maximum of 10 years.

Speed calibration progress indicator:

The Speed Detection option now includes a progress bar that displays the number of detections that have contributed to the automatic calibration process. Keep in mind that speed estimates will be most accurate when progress has completed (approximately two hours).

Metadata on detection overview images:

Vehicle detection overview images now display vehicle and detection metadata. This information appears on detections in the Events tab as well as detections sent to VehicleManager. You can configure the event metadata that is displayed in CarDetector.

Additional improvements have also been made.

To learn more about these and other updates, read the L6D 1.9.2 release notes.

L6D Firmware Release 1.8.4.1

L6D just got smarter: Powerful new firmware delivers key detection and safety upgrades

On May 7, 2026, we are rolling out firmware version 1.8.4.1 for all L6D cameras. This update significantly enhances your camera’s detection capabilities, resolves known issues and strengthens your security posture.

What this update delivers for you: 

  • Find what matters with missing plate detections: L6D now supports vehicle detection even when a license plate is missing or not detected. Detections without a plate can still include the vehicle's color, make, model, speed and direction, providing enriched detection capabilities.

  • Boost road safety with wrong way alerting: Protect single-direction roads more effectively with wrong way alerting. The L6D can now alert you when a car is driving the wrong way. This feature is disabled by default, so you’ll need to configure it in the camera’s WebUI.
  • Expand your integrations with dual endpoint support: Connect your camera to two different software endpoints simultaneously. Dual endpoint support allows you to send detections to two separate services at the same time. You can easily manage your connections and add additional endpoints in the camera’s WebUI.
  • Plus, we deliver better performance: This release also includes additional improvements and fixes for a smoother experience.

Great news: Cameras powered and connected to VehicleManager will automatically update. No action is necessary from L6D users and operators.

  • Additional support has been added for FIPs compliance and missing plates in Eco Mode.

  • Accuracy has been improved for direction detection in both front and rear vehicle analysis.

  • Performance improvements for LTE modem and event data send over poor internet connectivity.
