This unit is one of the most advanced license plate cameras available. Installed in
parking lots, gated access or toll roads, this specialized camera combines several
key technologies to allow positive numeric ID from vehicles day or night.
The use of IR illumination and special optical filters eliminate headlight glare,
allowing License Plate numbers to reflect IR light for optimum recognition. The
high shutter speed, high sensitivity CCD minimizes motion blur, providing positive
numeric ID from vehicles moving up to 31mph.
Note: This LP camera is highly optimized for license plate recognition under the
most adverse conditions. As such, it has some idiosyncrasies you might not
expect. To minimize headlight glare at night, it has an optical filter designed to
suppress visible light, but pass IR illumination. It also has a fixed high shutter
speed of 1/1000 second. By combining these technologies with IR LED’s, it will
effectively suppress objects lit by visible light, and mostly resolve reflective
license plates illuminated by the IR LED’s. As a consequence of this optimiza-
tion, you will get a low-contrast view of the vehicle, day or night. However, you
will get a clear image of any reflective license plate, even while the vehicle is
moving.

Before sending the camera out for repair, check the items below. If the problem persists after
checking these items, contact your service center.
Problems Trouble shooting
Nothing appears on the
screen.
 Please check the power connection.
 Please check the video signal line connection.
The video image is not
clear.
 Please check if the lens or the outer glass is clean.
- Dirt or fingerprints on the lens can affect the image
blooming or reflection. Gently wipe any dirt or
fingerprints off the lens or the glass with a soft cloth.
 Please check and adjust contrast feature of the monitor
 Please check if the camera is exposed directly toward a
bright light, sunlight, or sun light reflecting area.
Please move the camera’s position in this case.
The screen is dark. 
The camera’s surface is too
hot and black stripes
appear on the screen.
 Please check if the power supply is regulated and is
within the standard requirement of the product.
The screen is flickering.  Please check if the camera is facing directly toward
sunlight or fluorescent light.
IR beam is weak 

This is normal, because of the optical filter that rejects visible
light and the high-shutter speed. Mainly highly reflective
objects within 31’ range of the IR LED’s will be visible. For
most applications, this would be the license plate from most
modern vehicles. See Notes in Overview section on page
10.
Adjust the potentiometer to increase IR LED brightness. See
page 11. Verify cable conductor gauge is adequate for the
cable run. Using too thin gauge of Power wire can cause
serious voltage drop, especially over long distance. If using
DC power supply, resistive losses are worse. Try measuring
voltage while PSU is connected to camera; if the voltage
under load is less than 21 Volts, this is likely a problem.
