3. RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION SCENARIOS
A good ANPR engine can read the plates from images taken in various conditions. However, if you
want to achieve over 95% recognition rate with short recognition times, you have to calculate the
position of the camera accurately. The best position is if the angle between the camera axis and the
direction of the vehicle movement is minimal and the camera should be installed 1 –1,5 meters above
the headlights of the vehicles.
The distance between the camera and plate is also important. If the camera is too far from the plate,
the characters may not be large enough for recognizing them. In this case, zoom-in until you reach the
proper size. If the distance is too short it may happen that a part of the plate is over the camera’s field
of view (when the vehicle is near to the side of the lane or the plate is not at the middle of the vehicle).
Try to adjust the direction of the camera so that the number plates are horizontal in the picture!
From the point of ANPR/LPR the most important is the size of the characters on the image. It is
recommended to have at least 25-pixel average character height. The too large characters are also
not suitable for ANPR, therefore try to avoid settings where the character size is greater than 50 pixels
in height.
For more information, check How to Install an ANPR camera video on Adaptive Recognition channel.
Also check Einar User Manual on page Einar ANPR Camera for Access Control & Parking - Adaptive
Recognition's documents where additional installation tips can be found.

Please note the following when mounting your camera:
1. Please make sure that the camera does not roll neither to the left nor right.
2. Water may enter into the camera inside through not properly sealed connectors. To maintain
the camera’s watertightness please make sure that connected cables are tightened properly
and the unused connectors are capped.
3. Failures caused by inappropriate installation could void the warranty.
4. Please note that cameras installed inadequately may underperform in reading accuracy and
vehicle detection.
5. Avoid east-west orientation of the camera. Sun can make reading difficult at certain times of
the day.
6. The camera should be lowered below the horizon.

4. INSTALLATION STEPS
4.1. INSERT THE MICROSD CARD
You can insert a microSD card into the device by removing the service port cover as shown in the
attached figure. The use of the card is described in the user manual.
Perform the operation in a clean, low-humidity room!

4.2. MOUNTING THE CAMERA
The camera can be mounted using 3 mounting holes with a diameter of 6 mm on the console. When
mounting, take into consideration the weight of the camera (1540g), with the appropriate fittings.

4.3. GROUND THE CAMERA
Grounding should be done at the ground point on the camera with the bearing provided as it is shown
on the picture. Make sure that the metallic contact is secured at the ground point (e.g. a metal pole)
and that the ground point itself is properly led to the ground. The STP / FTP cable is only allowed on
the remote side (patch panel, PoE switch, server) and must be grounded.

4.4. ADJUST THE VIEW DIRECTION OF THE CAMERA
Loosen the screws marked 2, 3 (tilt) and 4(turn) by using a 4 mm Allen key, while holding the camera
so that it does not “knock down”, then set it to the desired position. The horizontal direction can be
adjusted by loosening screw 1. If the device is in the correct direction, tighten all screws on the bracket.

4.5. ASSEMBLE THE WATERPROOF COVER OF THE RJ45
CONNECTOR
The enclosed IP67 shielded RJ45 connector housing must be assembled as shown. Before damaging
the RJ45 insert, the components of the connector housing must be pulled onto the cable in the order
shown! The crimped RJ45 insert is placed in the housing A. The fastener Bis pulled onto the housing
A, and then the sealing insert Cis pushed all the way between the clamping arms of the housing Aon
the cable. The seal is then clamped to the cable with the clamping part D.
Disconnect the connector
The connector can only be disassembled with the cable connected to the device, otherwise the
mounting tab of the RJ45 insert will not be accessible. First loosen D, then pull back on the cable, then
release Bso we can pull parts Aand Coff the cable. The RJ45 insert then remains in the connector
thanks to its own retaining tab and can be removed by pressing it.
Route the cable according to the image to avoid collecting rainwater at the socket.

4.6. GPIO CABLECONNECTION
Steps to connect the GPIO cable:
1. unscrew the fixing screws of the cover plate using the TX10 screwdriver
2. install the sealing plate in the package
3. plug the connector into the port
4. fix it with the longer screws provided in the package.
For more information on how to connect it, see section 7.2.
4.7. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
The cameras are developed to operate without any kind of special software.
Software requirements:
•For network setup, administrator (root) privileges are necessary.
•Web browser: Mozilla Firefox 52, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome 51.X.X.X or later editions. If
it is possible, update your browser (Firefox or Chrome) to the newest available version.

4.8. ACCESSING THE WEB INTERFACE
1. Start a browser and enter the camera IP address into the address bar of the browser.
2. Type the username and the password on the displayed login interface and click on [Login].
The default user account is the following:
Username: admin
Password: admin
3. After signing in, the web interface of the camera is displayed on which the required settings
can be performed.
Default IP Address
The camera –by default –obtains its IP address from the local DHCP server. A second link-local IP-
address is always present on the primary network interface.
Link-Local IP Address
The link-local IP address of the camera can be calculated using the device’s MAC address or serial
number. The last four characters are two hexadecimal numbers that can be converted into the last
two parts of a link-local address (169.254.XX.YY).
Example: the camera with the MAC address 00-19-B4-01-42-1A ends with 42 and 1A, representing the
decimal values 66 and 26. The link-local address of this camera is 169.254.66.26.
Finding Cameras
You can find the camera on the network using the AR DeviceTool. Double-click on the selected camera,
and the Einar camera web interface will open in the default browser.
While running, the program continuously looks for detectible cameras on the network and displays
them in a list with their current IP addresses. If the camera does not appear, ensure that the firewall
does not block the multicast protocol on the network and that the camera and the PC are in the same
network range.

5. SAFETY
For detailed information see the User Manual:
https://adaptiverecognition.com/doc/cameras/einar-anpr-camera-for-access-control-parking/
or
Check our website: https://adaptiverecognition.com/
All screws should be hand- tightened! Do not overtighten the screws. Failures due to
inappropriate installation void the warranty.
The camera must only be installed on a stable surface!
For cabling use quality, outdoor-certified cables! Improper cabling causes warranty to void!
Water may enter into the camera inside through not properly sealed connectors. To maintain
the camera’s watertightness please make sure that connected cables are tightened properly
and the unused connectors are capped.

5. MAINTENANCE
The cameras are designed for 24/7/365 work for every weather condition and they do not need special
maintenance. Please keep clean the camera front. During the cleaning process, avoid scratching the
front cover.
Do not use the camera without its sun-shield in hot environment, because it was specially designed to
provide proper air-cooling.
The cameras should be stored in low humidity environment in temperature range of -30 °C to + 55 °C.
Always use the sealing caps on the connectors to keep the camera unit waterproof! If you miss to use
it, the warranty will be void! The maintenance of the devices is recommended on a quarterly basis. In
case of extreme weather conditions more often.
During the maintenance, make sure that:
-the camera operates properly,
-it is facing to the previously set direction,
-the fastening is not slack,
-the front of the camera and the camera itself is clean (no spider webs or any other
contaminants inhibit the visibility),
-there are no strange circumstances (vapor, damage).
