An LPR camera is designed to read a license plate only. When a license plate passes by the camera, the
reective lm on the plate will be reected back to the camera which gives youthe good clear shot of
the plate. You will ONLY capture an image of the plate.
US license plates need to be at least 216 pixels wide. This translates roughly into an image no wider than
5-6 feet assuming 1440p standard denition video.

The horizontal angle between the camera and plate should be
within 20° degrees. This means that if your camera is 10 feet
away from the plate, the plate cannot be more than 3 feet to the
right or left of the camera.
The vertical angle between the camera and plate is within 30°
degrees. This means that if your camera is 10 feet away from the
plate and the plate is 3 feet o the ground, the camera cannot
be mounted more than 8 feet high.
Attempting to position the security camera at odd angles or
exceeding the distance capabilities will result in a poor shot of
the plate.
The DVR’s recording fps should be at the highest to assure best
capture quality.
THE CAMERA SHOULD BE MOUNTED AT AN ANGLE NO GREATER THAN 30 DEGREES

Quick Start of Network Connection
Network Setup -
Please follow the steps below to complete
the initial setup of the network function.
1.
Open the IP Installer on a PC, then search for the IP camera.
If multiple numbers of camera are connected it should be
distinguished by the mac address of the Camera.
Click the Camera IP, and connect to the WEB PAGE.
2.
3.
4.
Default ID/Password to access IP Camera are both the
word: admin.
5.
Familiarize yourself with the Viewer Interface Screen.6.
please install VLC to display live video.7.
The IP setting can be set to ‘STATIC’ at IP Installer or web
viewer followed by Setup -> Network -> TCP / IP.
8.
If you have a DHCP server, it will automatically set the Camera IP.
If you do not have a DHCP server, Camera IP is set to 192.168.1.80
after one minute. In this case, PC IP must be changed to the IP to
be able to access the 192.168.1.80.
Please do not power on the IP Camera until instructed.
Explorer.
If connecting the IP Camera directly to a modem, power down
and reset the modem. Leave the modem powered down until
con tions ar nalized with the IP Camera and the IP Camera
has been correctly connected to the modem.
If the IP Camera is connected to a network which utilizes a
router, you must have Port Forwarding co ured on your
personal router to forward all ports to the IP address you
have assigned the IP Camera.
(if necessary), you may access your IP Camera on your local
network by opening Internet Explorer and specifying the IP
address and Web Port that you have assigned to the IP
Camera.
9.
10.
Example: http://192.168.0.200:8888
If you leave your Web Port set to 80, you don’t need to specify
the port in the Address Bar to access to your IP Camera.
Access your IP Camera via the Internet :
If you use a static IP address assigned by your ISP
1) Open Internet Explorer.
2) Type the IP of the IP Camera.
3) If you use a router, type the routers’ static IP and the web port
number of the IP Camera.
If you have a dynamic address provided by your ISP
1) Open Internet Explorer and visit the DDNS website.
2) Register the IP Camera.
3) Reboot the IP Camera.
4) Give the DDNS server 10 minutes to locate your IP Camera’s
IP information.
5) Click the refresh button in the Internet Explore.
6) After your camera is connected, select your camera.

DDNS Registration
Network Setup -
If you have DYNAMIC IP service from your
Internet Service Provider (ISP), you can’t tell
the current IP address of the IP Camera.
To solve this problem, you have to register to
our DDNS service.
At, you have to check if you are using
dynamic addressing. If so, register your IP
Video Server on our DDNS website before you
cre, setup, or install the IP Camera.
Even though your IP is not dynamic, you will
just remember ‘hostname.dyndns.com/gate1’
instead of complicated series of numbers like
http://201.23.4.76:8078.
For more details, contact our Support Center.
To use a public DDNS called ‘dyndns’or ‘no-ip’, refer to the detail
information on how to use the service.
(Visit the web site : http://www.dyndns.com or

Guide to Network Environment
Network Setup -
Please congure the IP Camera at the
installation site. You must determine your
network scenario in order to congure the IP
Camera with the proper TCP/IP settings.
This tutorial will guide you through the
process. Before actually conguring the IP
Camera, determine settings to be applied.
Record those settings to be used to congure
your IP Camera for reference.
When conguring your IP Camera, treat the
IP Camera as another PC on your network.
You will assign it several addresses and other
TCP/IP properties to match your current
network.
This step-by-step tutorial will teach what IP
addresses and network congurations should
be assigned based on the network scenario.
If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was responsible
for the setup and installation of your Internet connection, go to
step 2.
If you are not using a router on your network, your ‘Current TCP/IP
Settings’(from the previous section) and ‘Assigned IP Addresses
from My ISP’ will be exactly the same.
Before you begin, locate any information and settings
received from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may
need to refer to these IP addresses at a later time during the
conguration.
1.
You must determine whether the IP address is STATIC or
DYNAMIC. At this moment, you are only concerned about the
ISP. Did they provide you with a STATIC or DYNAMIC address?
If you are unsure, contact your ISP.
Congure your IP Camera’s TCP/IP settings for network
connectivity by selecting Setup from the main interface and
selecting TCP/IP located on the left of the Setup screen.
If prompted for ID and Password, use‘admin’for both entries.
The default web port number is 80. If port 80 is blocked by
the ISP, a value between 1025 ~ 60000 should be used. If TCP
port 80 is blocked, consult the ISP
