6 Installation
6.1 Monitor connection
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to
the oor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
NOTICE! The image sensors in modern cameras are highly sensitive and require special
care for proper performance and extended lifetime. Follow the guidelines for
optimum results with your camera:
– Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in operating and
nonoperating conditions.
– Avoid bright lights in the eld of view of the camera. Bright lights cause
a “smearing” effect, which is visible as white lines above and below the
highlight. Prolonged exposure to bright lights may cause bleaching of the
sensor's color lters. This will be visible as colored spots in the picture
and is irreversible.
WARNING! The mounting surface, mounting screws/plugs, and junction box must be
stable and capable of supporting a maximum load of 10kg (22 pounds).
Mounting to an improper surface or using improper mounting material can
cause camera malfunction and is a potential safety hazard.
WARNING! Make sure that appropriate mounting screws and anchors are used for the
surface to which the camera is mounted. The supplied universal mounting
screws can be used with most plastic anchors, please conrm compatibility
before mounting the camera.
CAUTION! To prevent humidity problems, the camera must be installed in dry conditions,
and the cable leads should be sealed after they are connected.

CAUTION! To prevent humidity problems, the camera must be installed in
dry conditions. The lens knobs (located on the bottom of the camera)
and protection cap (located on the rear of the camera) provide protection
against water ingress when fully tightened. Therefore never remove or keep
them loosened after installation. Doing so could cause water ingress and/or
condensation on the inside of the camera window

7.1 Camera height
• The camera has a 5~50mm varifocal lens providing variable capture
range of 4.8 to 27 meters (16 to 91 feet)
• The camera height (the height where the camera is mounted) must
be considered when determining capture distance.
Below table illustrates how the camera height inuences the capture distance
(camera height and horizontal distance are examples).
Camera height (m/ft) Horizontal Distance (m/ft) Capture Distance (m/ft)
1 / 3.3 4 / 13.1 4.1 / 13.5
1.5 / 4.9 4 / 13.1 4.3 / 14.1
2 / 6.6 4 / 13.1 4.5 / 14.8
2.5 / 8.2 4 / 13.1 4.7 / 15.4
3 / 9.8 4 / 13.1 5 / 16.4
7.2 Camera angles
• It is advised to mount the camera at a horizontal and vertical angle of less than
30 degrees. A greater angle will distort the characters of the license plate and will
reduce the capture performance. If the mounting position is xed, the capture angle
can be reduced by increasing the capture distance.
H-angle less than 30˚V-angle less than 30˚

mounting angle)

mounting angle)
7.3 Capture zone
- Wide angle provides shorter capture distance and increased capture angle,
but could result in the better image quality and stability.
- Tele angle provides longer capture distance and reduced capture angle,
but could result in reduced image quality and stability.
- While a license plate can still be read by human eye, license plate
capture software might not be able to recognize it.

7.4 Lane width
• Narrow lanes = less variation in plate location.
• Wider lanes = more variation in plate location.
• Lens should cover entire width of the lane.
• Ensure horizontal eld of view is wide enough.
7.5 Speed
• Camera can capture moving vehicles up to 120 km/h (75 mph).
• Keep camera as low as possible.
• Minimize horizontal angle.
• Zoom in the lens as close as possible.
Up to 75 mph

13 en | OSD menu structure 960H IR License Plate Bullet Camera
8Camera conguration
After the camera is properly installed, the focus and zoom should be adjusted,
and OSD menu should be congured to optimize the camera's performance. To
enter the OSD menu, press the OSD joystick located on the rear of the camera.
Step1: The rst time the camera is turned on, the camera is in installation mode. In this mode,
the camera will display the complete monochrome picture (not only the license plate).
This will help to correctly aim and focus the camera on the target object. If the camera
is not in installation mode, change MODE from LICENSE-PLATE to INSTALLATION in the
OSD menu.
Step2: Adjust the zoom and focus (and camera position if needed) to the target object.
Step3: Change the camera mode from INSTALLATION to LICENSE-PLATE in the OSD menu. In
this mode, the camera will only display reective objects such as the license plate.
Step4: Adjust the SHUTTER value (= shutter speed) in order to prevent over- or underexposure
of the license plate. In applications with short capture distance, the IR intensity may be
reduced by lowering the LED level in the OSD menu to further prevent overexposure.
Note that if the camera is installed outdoors, the license plate image may be slightly
different during daytime and nighttime. This effect will increase when lowering the LED
level, or when using a long capture distance.
Step5: If required, the image may be inverted by turning on NEGATIVE in the OSD menu.
In negative mode, light areas in the image will appear dark and vice versa. In some
applications this may improve the readability of the license plate.
Step6: Exit the OSD menu.
