1.Purpose & Scope
This document provides general information on Compact Camera-Based Car Controller (
C
C5 5
),
a stand-alone vehicle access-control system. This document is intended for system users and
provides all the information required operating the system.
The
C
C5 5
is the next generation version of the C
4
4
system, with more powerful on-board
computer and additional functionalities.

3. Overview
3.1.Product Description
C
C5 5
is a highly integrated computer/camera/illumination unit that performs all of the functions
of a LPR system with its embedded microprocessor and SeeCar recognition package.
C
C5 5
is a
versatile stand-alone unit that can be used for either access control in parking installations or
as a license plate sensor to report license plate numbers.
The
C
C5 5
unit identifies the license plate number, compares it with the vehicle database, and
can automatically open a gate for authorized vehicles. The system can also be used in traffic
surveillance and monitoring applications where passing vehicles can be tracked, while
automatically generating a vehicle list.
For applications involving multiple LPR points, several individual
C
C5 5
units can be networked
together to a single server. Authorized vehicle numbers are stored on the unit’s database,
while pre-registered users can access and modify it, via the internal web server interface
using a network (LAN) or Internet connection. The
C
C5 5
can transmit the recognized plate
number to other systems via TCP/IP over the LAN or optional wireless.
The unit triggers either by an internal software trigger based on motion detection, or by an
external trigger such as a loop detector. It can be easily installed at the entrance to a secured
area or parking lot, requiring only a power supply, and (optionally) a gate.

3.2.Typical installations
3.2.1.Access Control Mode
The following figure illustrates how the system is typically installed at the entrance of a
secured area. A sensor (such as a loop detector) indicates the presence of the car, which
signals the
C
C5 5
unit (behind the gate's boom) to start a new recognition sequence. The unit
identifies the car, and if authorized –it opens the gate.
Figure 3.2: a typical access-control installation
For most secured areas the system can control the entrance only, while the exit will be
automatically opened for the vehicles exiting the secured area (by a direct connection from
the sensor to the gate).

The following photo shows a sample installation in a secured office area. This unit operates
with an internal software trigger (motion detection) and opens the barrier for vehicles that
match its "white list". It sends the recognition results by either wired TCP/IP connection or via
its wireless antenna.
Note that the enclosure and bracket of this unit may change in future due to updates in its
design.

3.2.2.Monitoring Mode
The unit may be used to simply report on the passing vehicles.
This unit can be connected to other units via a local network (“intranet”) that reports the
recognition results, including the captured image, to a central server. The transmission can be
done by wireless or wired TCP/IP.
3.3.
C
C5 5
versus SeeLane
Our product line also includes powerful Windows PC-based solution –such as SeeLane. If
a multiple-lane access control is required, we recommend installing the SeeLane system
instead - which controls more lanes and has additional functions.
Please consult with us on the optimum solution for your needs.

4.1. Block Diagram
The
C
C5 5
access-control system architecture is illustrated in the following diagram. The
peripherals on the left side are connected by a network connection.
On the right side the inputs are power supply (a DC adapter connected to the mains), and an
optional sensor (dry-contact indicating vehicle presence, such as a loop detector). The unit's
internal motion detection can be used instead of the external trigger.
The optional output is the gate relay open signal, which can be used to open the gate for
authorized vehicles.
