Suggestions to improve the quality of the installation
All the suggestions provided here are derived by feedbacks from our installers that already
encountered on field issues similar to the issues you could encounter within your installation. To
respect these suggestions could simplify the configuration and make the camera able to provide
optimal results.
There are three possible points of installations, A, B and C (shown in fig. 1).
▪The best results will be obtained installing the camera in position A. The installation of the camera
in the position B should be considered as an additional improvement of the global results and not
as an alternative to the installation in position A. This depends from the low quality of the CODE
ID printed on the top of the containers. In fact, these codes could be often damaged, dirty, partially
missed, due to the mechanical abrasion during the loading or unloading operations and to the sea
salt that could be settled on the CODE ID, during the trip. The installation type C is very critical,
and we are discouraging its adoption.
▪Remember: ONE camera can operate on ONE lane only, with a lane width of maximum 3,5
meters (channelized gate).
▪Avoid, when possible, to place the camera too angled. It can cause problems of auto-hidden of
one or more digits of the CODE ID, due to the vertical sliding-lock of the door of the container. The
ideal position of installation of the camera is over the top of the container, at 5.50 meters of height,
positioning the camera horizontally aligned with the position of the CODE ID.
▪Although the OCR algorithm is designed to compensate the partial shadows over the CODE ID, if
possible, let install the camera in a position that can permit to see the code both fully illuminated
by sun or fully shadowed by the roof of the structure.
▪Make the installation stable. That means it’s necessary to reduce as much as possible the
vibrations and the oscillations that could be caused by inadequate fastening, especially with windy
weather. Select a pole with proper diameter.
▪Adjust the sunshield to protect the lens from direct sunlight, when the sun is in a frontal position.
▪Avoid installing the camera in a position where it could be possible that some obstacles could
interfere within the field of view. For example, trees, that during the spring could extend their
leaves or branches.
▪When you are adjusting the focus of the lens, take care to have the target (the rear of the
container) at the longest distance possible (so, the rear of a container of 22 feet length, mounted
ahead, near the cabin of the truck, stopped to the bar).

Here we are showing a practical example of an application of Guardian 704 ILB. The application you
will realize, must adheres as much as possible to the proposed example, to obtain the best results.
The installation type A is the one that obtains the better performances.

Mounting instructions
WARNING:
DON’T TOUCH the un-insulated end of wires or cables. Replace immediately eventual
cables or wires that could be damaged or frayed cables.
Fixing and orientation of the camera
If the Guardian 704 ILB could be installed only on a pole, it is necessary to purchase the specific pole
mount adapter.
The lens is normally pre-adjusted, to cover the type of installation. With this pre-adjust, the camera,
when properly installed, can read the ILU-BIC codes in all situations.
Anyway, for particular geometries of the gate, it could be necessary to modify the focal length (zoom)
of the lens. When it happens, it become necessary to adjust the focus after the changing of the focal
length (zoom).
To make this operation easier, from the web configuration page of the camera it’s possible to enable
the “focus assistant”, that will help the operator to understand when the focus is at the maximum level
possible.
The better results are achievable respecting the indication shown in fig. 1
On the next page the way to modify the adjustment of the lens is shown

Optical configuration
Guardian 704 ILB is provided with an IR varifocal lens with range 5-55 mm (11x),
F 1,4, and manual iris.
Globalproof provide the product with a pre-adjusted lens, concerning the type of
installation you declared in the purchase order.
Anyway, it could be necessary to change the zoom/focus of the lens by the installer, for particular type
of installation. In this case, some suggestions:
Lock firmly the camera case in the definitive position, to avoid any movement of it, after the optical
regulation.
Un-screw slightly the four screw that hold the metallic plate on which the camera black body is fixed
and move it back by 1/2 cm: this operation will make easier to operate with the Zoom knob (b), to
change it.
Let regulate the Zoom to include the wanted target within the field of view. Let make this regulation
with the presence of a container stopped to the bar.
Let regulate the Focus knob, ‘till to obtain the best sharpness of the target. Remember you can use
the “focus assistant mode”, enabling it through the configuration web pages of the camera.
Let reposition the camera black body in the original position and tighten the 4 screws that lock the
metallic plate.

Electrical and LAN connections
To connect the power supply and the LAN, it’s
necessary to open the housing.
▪Unscrew the two screws under the case, to open it
as a “book”.
▪Unscrew the screw (b) that locks the power supply
unit and turn it anticlockwise, as shown in the fig. 4
▪Remove the plastic closer of the IP66 cable gland
and pass the cables (power and LAN) through their
holes. Then tighten the gland to lock the cables and
to ensure the IP66 sealing.
▪Connect the wires to the Power supply unit
(respect the green/yellow earth wire) and connect
the LAN network cable
▪Let reposition the power supply unit and lock it with
its screw.
▪Close the external case, screwing the two screws
firmly.

First Power On
To enter in the main HTTP page of the camera, it’s necessary that the PC you are using could be
placed in the same subnet of the camera ( default IP is 192.168.0.1), none authentication credentials).
It’s possible to use one of the browsers available on the market, however updated. Before to power
up and connect the camera, make sure the default IP couldn’t be in conflict with another network
apparatus (router, server, NAS, ecc.) with the same IP.
If the IP class (subnet) of your computer isn’t compatible with the default one of the cameras, it’s
possible to reaches the camera using our software tool, named Globalproof Tool: the camera will be
searched through its MAC address and shown, in RED, within the software interface. It will be
possible to assign a free IP address selecting the camera and putting the check on its row.
All the information concerning that camera will be shown on the lower-left part of the interface. You
can change both IP address and subnet mask simply typing the values you want.
Finally, you must press the button “imposta nuovi parametri” and the camera will reboot. After the
reboot process, the camera will appear again in the interface of Globalproof Tool but in GREEN. It
means the camera now is on the right subnet. At the end of the reboot process, you will can configure
all the other part. Globalproof Tool will be also useful to upgrade the firmware of the cameras.
Warning:
The Globalproof Tool executes some operations in the network (e.g. searching for the free
IP address).
Some antivirus programs may interpret this as unwanted activity.
The Windows firewall itself could block its use.
If a pop-up window for permissions appears during this activity, please accept it or alternatively create
a special rule for the firewall.
Alternatively, you can temporarily disable the firewall or antivirus.

First Access to the Web Page
Inserting the IP address in your preferred web browser, you will get into the home-page of the camera
(Live page) and you will see immediately what the camera is framing.
Although it isn’t indispensable, it’s strongly recommended to install a software to visualize the live
stream, to improve the general performance. Between the various browsers available on the market
(iExplorer, Chrome, Firefox Safari, ecc), only iExplorer can support the native MPEG4 stream
(installing our Activex control).
The other browser can support only the ‘Stream M-JPEG’ and the Snapshot JPEG’ and although they
can permit you to see what the camera is framing, this generate a great network traffic, decreasing
the general performance.
If you already installed the ActiveX control (provided by the camera), using the iExplorer browser, at
the first connection, the camera will try the most efficient solution to see the live stream: the
ActiveX_ViewCAMx ; so, accept the use of this component .

Guardian 704 ILB
Installation
Introduction Selea Plugin
The SELEA interface from Geutebrück connects the Selea camera from a “Global Proof Guardian
704 ILB ACCR-System” with a G-CORE server. The camera detects on the top, front or rear side of a
sea container the horizontal and vertical number.
This number has it standard according to the ISO-Norm 15459-2.
The information from the SELEA camera server will be handled in GCORE as an NPRRecognition
action. An additional picture, showing the founded number, can be used as an input stream in the
plugin channel.
The interface is developed as a hardware plugin of G-CORE.
The connection protocol is TCP/IP.
Functionality Selea Plugin
The plugin offers via TCP/IP a PORT to a SELEA camera.
The camera connects to this port and push an XML string to it.
This XML contains the number and the recognition time. A picture, used for the recognition, will be
send to a given FTP server port. This picture is used by the plugin for the input stream.
The received numbers are used to fire NPR-Recognition actions. These actions can be used to
initiate events programmed in G-SET. These events represent, with pictures and actions, the existing
of sea container in front of the camera
Usability Selea Plugin
The SELEA plugin can be added as a hardware plugin in G-SET.
For each SELEA camera one plugin must be installed.
The configuration of the plugin is done in G-SET.
Information from the SELEA camera are translated into “NPR-Recognition” actions.
Pictures from the camera are copied by the camera to a connected FTP server.
The FTP server must be provided by the operating system.
If the camera recognizes a number of a sea container the camera will connect to the SELEA plugin
and push the XML string with the number. The plugin must wait with the NPR Recognition action until
the picture of this recognition is available through the FTP server.
This can take several seconds to minutes. Therefore, events can occur significant later than sea
container passed the camera. Anyhow the events contain the correct time with the recognized
number.
