2. General Features
Transit Inspector Pro (below Module) is intended for recognizing carriage numbers from an incoming
video stream. Its purpose is monitoring in yards and check points, as well as any other situation when
it is necessary to register and identify a passing carriages.
Module receives data from SecurOS video servers connected with Transit Inspector Pro server via
network.
Integration of the Module with the SecurOS system allows it to be used with other monitoring
systems, such as video and audio control, and access control systems.
Module has the following capabilities:
•Fully integratable with SecurOS
•Monitoring cameras video stream
•Recognition of carriage numbers from an incoming camera video stream
•Storing recognized carriage numbers in database with additional information on date, time, and
video camera
•Viewing video frame associated with captured carriage number
•Searching through recognized carriage numbers
2.1 Types of Configurations
Workstation software can be installed on any computer of security system (video server, application
server or administrator workstation), see SecurOS Installation Guide.
2.1.1 Standalone Configuration
This setup may be used for mid-size applications. Here the server acts as an administrator workstation.

2.1.2 Server-Workstation Configuration
In this case server and workstation software are installed on different computers. All computers of
security system should be connected to TCP/IP network.
Figure 2: Scheme of Server–Workstation Module Installation
Module server components have to be installed on application/video server , workstation compo-
nents — on administrator workstation (see description of installation procedure in different modes
in 3.3 Installing Server Application on page 16). Communication between administrator workstation
and server is provided through TCP/IP network.
Server has administration capabilities, i. e. Module can be configured from it. carriage number
recognitionas well as saving it into a database and video archive are proceeded on server. Administrator
workstation is a client computer connected to SecurOS network, designed to watching and system
interface operations.

Deploying Module
User Guide
3. Deploying Module
Please follow these steps to ensure proper system deployment:
1. Check system requirements for each server and workstation of your security network.
2. Install requested hardware (e. g. video capture cards) on each server. Connect external hardware
(e. g. cameras).
3. Install Module software on server.
4. Install Module software on workstation.
Each step will be described in the following paragraphs.
3.1 Checking System Requirements
Module has to be installed on a separate computer connected via network with video servers. Installing
Module directly on particular video server is allowed, however it imposes increased server productivity
requirements (see SecurOS Installation Guide).
System requirements are depends on number of installed Modules.
Note: There can be only up to four Modules installed on a server.
Before installing Modulehardware and software review system requirements below and make sure that
your computers comply with them.
3.1.1 Application Server Requirements
In the following tables the application server configuration requirements are given.
Table 1: One Module configuration required parameters
Parameter Requirements
OS Windows XP Professional(Service Pack 2).
Mainboard See SecurOS Installation Guide.
CPU Athlon 64 3000+ or Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz or higher.
RAM 512 MB or more.
