Overview
The continuous increase in population in urban areas implies major challenges in the public management
of cities. Intelligent services that use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become
increasingly relevant in helping to monitor, control and make efficient and quick decisions to solve problems
inherent to the large concentration of people, such as mobility and security in the traffic, energy efficiency,
public safety, supply control, among others.
The concept called Smart Cities is a global trend that classifies the strategic use of infrastructure and
services from the application of ICT solutions in urban planning and management, bringing results to the
social and economic needs of society. Thus, the use of Information Technology allows cities to develop
economically while improving the quality of life of the inhabitants by generating efficiency in urban
operations.
Examples of these technologies are Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), in which Pumatronix products are
used, such as the ITSCAM 400 line. The devices of this line capture images of vehicles for traffic
management, enforcement, Smart City Applications, mobility systems and applications that demand capture
of images whose minimum distance from the application is greater than 2 meters, using a sensor of global
shutter image:

Handling Risks
This equipment must be powered by a source of direct current (DC) with voltage
between 9 to 32 Vdc. Do not connect any of the inputs directly to the mains (AC)!
Risk of Oxidation: The electrical and signal connections made in the ITSCAM 400 bundle
and in the data network cable must be protected in a terminal box or similar structure
to prevent oxidation of the connections and unwanted infiltration of liquids into the
bundle.
This equipment may be accompanied by lenses, which are sensitive to mechanical
impacts such as drops and extreme vibrations.
Installation Location: In cases where it is not possible to meet installation
specifications, it is recommended to consult Pumatronix's Technical Support.

Models
The ITSCAM 400 image capture and processing devices are available in the ITSCAM 401 and ITSCAM 411
model lines. The composition of each model allows the modification of the sensor, lens and optional items
considering the specific possibilities for each line.
The ITSCAM 401 model has the color sensor that can be combined with a fixed type of lens set (CS Mount
standard), without options.
In the ITSCAM 411 model line, the sensor is combined with a set of lenses, which can be of the fixed type
(CS Mount standard) or motorized, in addition to the optional Digital Signature.

1.Knowing the Product
The ITSCAM 400 line of image capture and processing devices was developed for traffic management,
enforcement, Smart City Applications, mobility systems and applications that require image capture whose
minimum distance from the application is greater than 2 meters.
Lenses and Image Sensors
The ITSCAM 400 device can be selected with an internal motorized lens (with software controllable zoom
and focus), or a standard CS Mount fixed lens. The model of equipment that receives fixed lenses has an
Iris DC control output that allows electronically controlling the iris if the lens supports it. The lenses used
must be compatible with the image sensor sizes used, considering:
Sensor Code

S01 (CMOS)
752x480px
1/3”
S04 (CCD)
1280x960px
S05 (CCD HDR)
1280x960px
S06 (CCD HDR)
1636X1220px
1/1,8”
The ITSCAM 400's image sensors have high sensitivity to infrared light, ideal for use with flashes and dim
illuminators, with light invisible to the human eye. See Sensitivity of Sensors to Light for sensor
specifications about the supported wavelength range.
The focal length varies according to the lens used and refers to the distance between the optical center of
a lens and the plane of focus, measured in mm (millimeters), with the angle of view being more “open” for
smaller values.
Inputs and Outputs
The ITSCAM 400 hardware has a total of 4 input and output ports (IOs), being 2 input ports for installing
external sensors, which identify the moment of capturing the images (trigger) and 2 output ports that can
control the artificial lighting (flash), usually triggered automatically in low light situations. In situations
where the application of external sensors is unfeasible, the ITSCAM 400 device can be configured to
generate trigger events from image analysis, by enabling software triggering (Virtual Trigger).
Data Transmission over the Network
When the ITSCAM 400 receives an image capture request, either by triggering an external trigger or by
software, the flash synchronism occurs, and the next generated frame will be made available by the
network. The captured images are transmitted digitally (in BMP or JPEG format) through the network
interface, using the TCP/IP protocol. The transmission time of images captured by the ITSCAM 400 varies
depending on the network infrastructure conditions. The transmission capacity of the network to which the
ITSCAM 400 is connected can be affected by the following factors:
•Processing capacity of the equipment that receives the data;
•Quality of the network card of the equipment that receives the data;
•Traffic volume of the network to which the ITSCAM 400 is connected;

•Quality of peripherals connected to the network (hubs, switches, routers, etc.).
The table below shows typical image transmission rates over the network in JPEG and BMP formats. Upon
receiving a request for image capture (via the network or via I/O), the ITSCAM 400 prepares the image
and stores it in RAM immediately, being transmitted according to the availability of the network.

The ITSCAM 400's internal image capture rate is constant, with the value corresponding to the sensor

S06 (CCD HDR)

14,98fps
Format of Transmitted Images
The image can be transmitted, either in Photo or Video mode, in BMP or JPEG formats. In both formats,
the ITSCAM 400 transmits an image that includes the header of the respective format. In the case of JPEG
images, the settings of the ITSCAM 400 at the time of capture and additional data, such as the license plate
of the vehicle in case of embedded OCR, are also attached within the image.
Additionally, the quality of the JPEG image can be selected, setting between 1 (worst quality –highest
compression) and 100 (best quality –least compression).
Supported Servers
The ITSCAM 400 can communicate with different types of servers if they are correctly configured. Each
server has its own characteristics when connecting to the ITSCAM 400:
Server
Interaction with the ITSCAM 400
FTP
The equipment connects via FTP with one of the servers available for sending images
ITSCAMPRO
By configuring the ITSCAM 400 to communicate with the ITSCAMPRO solution, it is possible to
send images and the plates read by the embedded OCR. ITSCAMPRO is an application that
concentrates the images and plates sent by the ITSCAM 400, allowing visualization and
