IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND WARNINGS
Electrical Safety
All installation and operation here should conform to your local electrical safety codes. The
power shall conform to the requirement in the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the
Limited power source is rated 12V DC / 24V AC. This series product supports PoE too. Please
note: Do not connect these two power supplying sources to the device at the same time; it
may result in device damage! We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or
electrical shock caused by improper handling or installation. We are not liable for any
problems caused by unauthorized modification or attempted repair.
Transportation Security
Care must be given to avoid heavy stress, violent vibration or water damage during
transportation, storage and installation.
Installation
Do not apply power to the camera before completing installation. Please install the proper
power cut-off device during the installation connection. Always follow the instruction guide
the manufacturer recommended.
Qualified engineers needed
All the examination and repair work should be done by the qualified service engineers. We are
not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modifications or attempted repair.
Environment
This series network camera should be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight,
inflammable, explosive substances and etc. Please keep it away from the electromagnetic
radiation object and environment. Please make sure the CCD (CMOS) component is out of the
radiation of the laser beam device. Otherwise it may result in CCD (CMOS) optical component
damage. Please keep the sound ventilation. Do not allow the water and other liquid falling
into the camera. Lightning-proof device is recommended to be adopted to better prevent
lightning damage. The grounding studs of the product are recommended to be grounded to
further enhance the reliability of the camera.
Daily Maintenance
Please shut down the device and then unplug the power cable before you begin daily
maintenance work. Do not touch the CCD (CMOS) optic component. You can use the blower to
clean the dust on the lens surface. Always use the dry soft cloth to clean the device. If there is
too much dust, please use the water to dilute the mild detergent first and then use it to clean
the device. Finally use the dry cloth to clean the device. Please put the dustproof cap to
protect the CCD (CMOS) component when you do not use the camera.
Accessories
Be sure to use all the accessories recommended by manufacturer. Before installation, please
open the package and check all the components are included. Contact your local retailer ASAP
if something is broken in your package.

1A. OVERVIEW
This series network camera integrates the traditional camera and
network video technology. This camera features Automatic
number-plate recognition (ANPR). This technology utilizes optical
character recognition on images to read vehicle license plates. It is
highly recommended to be paired with an IC Realtime ANPR
supported NVR for License plate and Motor Vehicle search and
extraction.
This series network camera uses standard H.264 and H.265 video
compression technology, which maximizes the video storage and
quality. It powers with either 12VDC, 24VAC or PoE.

2A. INSTALLATION STEPS
●Install the camera between 3-19 feet high (1-6 meters) and
no more than 90 feet from the target license plate.
●The optimal height is between 4-6 feet.
●The optimal distance is 30-50 feet.
●While the camera is capable of capturing plates up to 35
mph, the recommended speed is 5-20mph.

Step 1 Loosen the No. 1 and No. 3 screws shown in Figure 2-1.
Step 2 Insert the camera cables into the bracket, and then pull them
out from the bracket end.
Step 3 Use a M6×20 screw to couple the Camera and bracket. The
screw can be used to adjust the Camera upward and downwards.
Step 4 Adjust the Camera to proper position, and then tighten the
screws.

2B. RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULTS/ INSTALL SD CARD
Important: Make sure the device is powered when attempting to press
RESET button.
Step 1 Use the supplied hex wrench to unscrew the access panel
below the camera. Skip to Step 3 if only installing SD card.
Step 2 Slightly press the RESET button for 15-30 seconds to
complete the reset function. (#3 on Figure 2-6). The camera will
reboot when the reset process is complete.
Figure 2-6
Step 3 (If installing SD Card) Adjust the Micro SD Card to a proper
direction shown in as #2 on Figure 2-6. Close the access panel,
tighten down the locking screw and reinstall camera.

Step 5 In the drawing section, a green box will be shown. This is the
capture area, in which license plates entering this zone will be
captured. Click and drag the four corners until you have created an
appropriate capture zone. You can also move the area by clicking and
holding one of the lines and dragging the box to the desired location
Step 6 You can also set ignore areas to help eliminate false positives
from captures outside of your point of interest. For example, if there
is traffic from a road perpendicular to the plate capture direction, a
phone number on the side of a commercial vehicle may be captured
as a plate. To enable the ignore area, click “Add” on the Shield area
and draw a box in the image as desired (This box is colored white).
Make sure the shield area does not overlap with a capture area.

4A Web Operation: ANPR Setup
●Make sure the ANPR camera is powered and installed as per the
requirements noted on 2A.
●Have a PC on the same network as the ANPR camera.
Step 1 Login to the ANPR Camera via web browser and initialize
the camera if you have not done so yet. (The camera is set to DHCP
by default. If the camera is not plugged into a network with a DHCP
pool, the IP will be 192.168.1.108 )See Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-2
Step 2 Click on the LPR Setup tab at the top section
Step 3 Set the time and date if it is incorrect. Under “Plate
Algorithm”, make sure “North American ALG” is selected then click
confirm.
Step 4 For best results, make sure the plates to be captured are in
the center of the screen. The vehicle should take up most of the FOV
to acquire the highest resolution capture of the License Plate. You
can use the zoom and focus controls as needed. See Figure 4-2 for
reference in the following steps.

2A ANPR Setup (Continued)
Step 8 Any vehicle which has triggered the ANPR will show up
under “Realtime Display” (Figure 4-3) section. This will help you
configure the rules so that the passing vehicles can be captured
reliably.
* When using an HTML5 browser, any passing cars that are
captured under Realtime Display will be automatically downloaded.
We recommend you open this picture using software such as
MSPaint. From there, you can sure the selection tool to create a box
around the plate. The minimum width for the license plate should be
140 pixels. See the Figure 4- 4 for an example

Device does not
operate properly/ lost
password.
Please refer to section 2B for factory reset
process. Cam will need to be Initialized after
factory reset.
The water leakage.
The front or rear cap if damaged or removed
can result in water leakage. The glass dome
may also have been compromised from
heavy strikes or heavy pressure. The
waterproof plug of the rear cap may also
have loosened.
IR video is poor/ does
not turn on.
Verify the camera is supplied with the
recommended amount of power. You may
need to test voltage/ amperage of the
camera while under load. Enough visible
light at the location can also cause IRs to not
switch on.
I can not upgrade the
device via network.
Contact technical support to request
firmware.
I cannot login to the
client-end or the
WEB.
If the Camera HTTP port is changed, you
will need to specify the port number after
the IP. (ex: http://192.168.1.108:8080)
Ensure the correct login credentials are
being used. The Smart ICRSS software will
use the TCP port. Make sure you input the
correct TCP port number.
The account is locked Reboot the camera to clear lock out. Verify
the login to make sure it is correct.
5A. FAQ
P2P status is “not
connected/ offline”
You may need to set device IP to DHCP.
After acquiring a different IP address, verify
P2P status and set camera back to static IP
if successful.
Camera does not
show up on local
network.
Verify the camera is supplied with the
recommended power supply. Change
network cable or use short patch cable to
troubleshoot.
