1.1.1 Install the EpCAM camera
The bracket can be adjusted in two different points.
Firstly, the bracket allows rotating the ball joint in a 35 degree spatial angle in any direction. Secondly, by
rotating the foot of the bracket, this angle can be extended with additional 20° according to the figure.
Steps of rotating the foot
1. Remove the four screws (a) located at
the back of the foot. (Use size 4 Allen
key).
2. Rotate the foot (b) by 180 degrees.
3. Place the screws back into the holes
and screw them back on.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the screws.
Attention: Use appropriate screws for
installation according to the
mountable surface.
Damage to the product caused
during installation may void
the warranty.
1.1.2 Power Specifications
The camera may be powered at 12VDC.
Please consider voltage drop on long cable lengths.
Input voltage: 12VDC [nominal] (min.10V –max 15V) reverse polarity protected
Power: 10W
Current: 1A (max 2,5A transients occur for a few µsec) –Over-current protection by fuse
Note:Connect the camera to the TCP/IP network before power on.
1.1.3 Environmental conditions
Maintain always clean the camera.
During cleaning operations please avoid the formation of scratches or other damages on the lens.
Do not use camera without the sunshield.
The minimal startup temperature of the camera is –20°C.

1.1.4 EpCAM connection cables
The camera is equipped with two cables. The first cable is responsible for the power, trigger and serial
connections while the second cable is for communication via TCP/IP.
Attention: For cabling, use quality, outdoor-certified cables.
Improper or wrong cabling cause warranty to void.
The camera is not waterproof!
Protect the cables from the water to prevent damage to the camera!
Failure to comply with these rules may result in a failure of the camera and this could
be irreparably damaged.

Attention: Take care to avoid accidental contact between the wires in the wiring. This cause
permanent damage to the product and void the warranty.
Use smooth circular cables only, 6-8mm in diameter.
The RJ45 connector for network connection is not waterproof!
Seal the unused cable endings (end sleeves) before connecting to power in order to
avoid damages due to short circuit!

2Camera positioning
The powerful ANPR engine of RiTa Systems can read the plates from images taken in various conditions.
However if you want to achieve the best 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 (see below).
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).
Following picture shows the suggested layout for the installation of RiTa EasyGo system:
From the point of ANPR/LPR the most important is the size of the
characters on the image. For Latin characters it is recommended to
have at least 16 pixel average character height, for Arabic or other
special characters it is recommended to have 20 pixel height (due to
they are more calligraphic than the Latin characters).
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. A line width of a character on the image should be
at least 2-3 pixels.
