Each of the two vertical plates 3 has an arc-shaped guide rail 5 on its opposite side. The two ends of the horizontal plate 4 are slidably connected to the two arc-shaped guide rails 5 respectively. The horizontal plate 4 has a connector for connecting to the vertical plates 3. The horizontal plate 4 has two spaced-apart bases 6. The bases 6 have vertically mounted mounting plates 7. A high-definition camera 8 for recognizing license plates is rotatably mounted on the mounting plates 7.
[0020] In this invention, a high-definition camera 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 7, which is configured to rotate. This allows for easy adjustment of different shooting positions, thereby facilitating the identification of vehicle license plates at different heights. The horizontal plate 4 and the arc-shaped track are slidably connected, making it easy to adjust the shooting angle of the two high-definition cameras 8. The entire device has a simple structure, while expanding the shooting area of the high-definition cameras 8 and improving the efficiency of high-definition camera image recognition.
[0021] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a bolt is fixed on the high-definition camera 8. The bolt thread passes through the mounting plate 7 and is connected to a nut. That is, after the orientation of the high-definition camera 8 is adjusted, the nut is tightened to fix the high-definition camera 8 and the mounting plate 7, so as to prevent the high-definition camera 8 and the mounting plate 7 from rotating relative to each other during subsequent work.
