Declaration of Conformity
FCC
This equipment has been tested and verified to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
(domestic environment) is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference (take adequate
measures) at their own expense.
CE
The product(s) described in this manual complies with all applicable
European Union (CE) directives if it has a CE marking. For computer systems
to remain CE compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used. Maintaining
CE compliance also requires proper cable and cabling techniques.

RoHS Compliance
NEXCOM RoHS Environmental Policy and Status
Update
NEXCOM is a global citizen for building the digital
infrastructure. We are committed to providing green
products and services, which are compliant with
European Union RoHS (Restriction on Use of Hazardous Substance in
Electronic Equipment) directive 2011/65/EU, to be your trusted green
partner and to protect our environment.
RoHS restricts the use of Lead (Pb) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Mercury (Hg) < 0.1%
or 1,000ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% or 100ppm, Hexavalent Chromium
(Cr6+) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) < 0.1% or
1,000ppm, and Polybrominated diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm.
In order to meet the RoHS compliant directives, NEXCOM has established
an engineering and manufacturing task force to implement the introduction
of green products. The task force will ensure that we follow the standard
NEXCOM development procedure and that all the new RoHS components
and new manufacturing processes maintain the highest industry quality
levels for which NEXCOM are renowned.
The model selection criteria will be based on market demand. Vendors and
suppliers will ensure that all designed components will be RoHS compliant.
How to recognize NEXCOM RoHS Products?
For existing products where there are non-RoHS and RoHS versions, the
suffix “(LF)” will be added to the compliant product name.
All new product models launched after January 2013 will be RoHS compliant.
They will use the usual NEXCOM naming convention.

Preface
NCr-305-VHR User Manual
Warnings
Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and
the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory
modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are inconsistent
with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact
the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets
safety and regulatory requirements.
Cautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the
described procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic
wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.
Safety Information
Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:
▪Read all instructions carefully.
▪Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
▪Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.
▪When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts
specified by the manufacturer.
▪Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating
device.
▪The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the
rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly
necessary in order to provide balance stability.
▪The network camera is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock
circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Installation Recommendations
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get
into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small
components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
▪A Philips screwdriver
▪A flat-tipped screwdriver
▪A grounding strap
▪An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended
that you do not use needle-nose pliers to disconnect connections as these
can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Recommended Installation Guideline
The ANPR/LPR camera series are specially designed to capture high-quality
images of vehicle license plates. They are able to overcome varied light
conditions and capture license plates clearly without overexposure. They
are ideal for monitoring parking lots and public areas (city surveillance),
and for controlling vehicle access in vehicle identification and license plate
recognition applications.
The following recommended installation guideline would be helpful to
attain an optimized image result.
Angle
The maximum mounting angle of an ANPR/LPR camera to a vehicle is 40
degrees for both horizontal and vertical views.
