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) become
increasingly relevant in helping to monitor, control, and make efficient and quick decisions to solve the
problems inherent in the large concentration of people, such as mobility and safety in traffic, energy
efficiency, public security, supply control, among others.
The concept known as 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. Therefore, the use of Information Technology allows cities to develop
economically while increasing the quality of life of their inhabitants by generating efficiency in urban
operations.
Examples of these technologies are the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), in which Pumatronix products
are used, such as the ITSCAM VIGIA+ line. The devices of this line capture images of vehicles for traffic
management, inspection, 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 global shutter
image sensor:

Handling Risks
This equipment must be powered by a direct current (DC) source with a voltage of
12Vdc or 24Vdc. Do not connect any of the inputs directly to the power grid (AC)!
Risk of Oxidation: The electrical and signal connections made in the ITSCAM VIGIA+
bundle and 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 has a lens set that is sensitive to mechanical impacts such as drops and
severe external vibrations.
Installation Site: In cases where it is not possible to meet installation specifications, it
is recommended to consult Pumatronix Technical Support.
Vision Damage: The built-in illuminator emits thermal and light energy (not visible
because it is infrared lighting), so it is not recommended to look directly at the LEDs. It
is also not recommended to use any optical instrument to look directly at the LEDs. If
malfunctions occur, send the product to Pumatronix Technical Assistance.

1. Knowing the Product
The line of ITSCAM VIGIA+ image capture and processing devices was developed for traffic management,
inspection, Smart City Applications, mobility systems, and applications that require image capture whose
minimum distance from the application is greater than 2 meters.
Models with embedded OCR capture vehicle images, automatically read the characters on the license plate,
and send the image and information through data network.
The built-in illuminator allows the identification of vehicles during daytime and nighttime period. In cases
where there is insufficient lighting to capture the vehicle license plate legibly, the built-in illuminator is
automatically triggered and emits infrared-type light, which is imperceptible to the human eye.
The Sliding Flap on the ITSCAM VIGIA+ device housing provides additional protection for the lens in cases
where there is a direct incidence of reflections or sunlight, which interfere at the quality of the generated
images
The distances applied when installing the device and which allow the identification of the vehicle license
plates characters vary according to the model sensor, as specified in the models table.
Lenses and Image Sensors
The ITSCAM VIGIA+ device features an internal motorized lens (with software controllable zoom and focus)
and a DC Iris control output that allows you to control the iris electronically if the lens supports it. The
lenses used must be compatible with the image sensor sizes used, considering:
Sensor Code Resolution Size (in inches)
S01 (CMOS) 752x480 px
1/3” S04 (CCD) 1280x960 px
S07 (CCD) 640x480 px
S08 (CMOS) 1280x800 px 1/4”
Opening the back cover will result in an instant
loss of the ITSCAM VIGIA+ Warranty.
The image sensors of the ITSCAM VIGIA+ have high sensitivity to infrared light. See the sensivity to light
for sensor specifications on compatible 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 hardware of the ITSCAM VIGIA+ has a total of 3 input and output ports (IOs): 1 output port, and 2
input ports for the installation of external sensors, which identify the moment of image capture (trigger).
In situations where the application of external sensors is not feasible, the ITSCAM VIGIA+ device can be
configured to generate trigger events from image analysis, by enabling the software trigger (Virtual
Trigger).
Data Transmission over the Network
When ITSCAM VIGIA+ receives an image capture request, either by triggering an external trigger or by
software, the flash is synchronized, and the next frame generated will be made available over 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 the images captured by ITSCAM VIGIA+ varies according to
the network infrastructure conditions. The transmission capacity of the network to which ITSCAM VIGIA+
is connected may 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 VIGIA+ is connected;
 Quality of peripherals connected to the network (hubs, switches, routers, etc.).
The table below shows typical rates of images transmission over the network in JPEG and BMP formats.
Upon receiving a request for image capture (via the network or I/O), ITSCAM VIGIA+ prepares the image
and stores it in RAM immediately, and transmits it according to network availability.

The internal rate of images capture of ITSCAM VIGIA+ is constant, with the value corresponding to the
resolution of the sensor, which has the following speeds ordered by rate:

Transmitted Image Format
The image can be transmitted, either in Photo or Video mode, in BMP or JPEG formats. In both formats,
ITSCAM VIGIA+ transmits an image that includes the header of the respective format. In case of JPEG
images, within the image are also attached the ITSCAM VIGIA+ settings of capture moment and additional
data, such as vehicle license plate in case of embedded OCR.
Additionally, the JPEG image quality can be selected by setting between 1 (worst quality – highest
compression) and 100 (best quality – least compression).
Supported Servers
ITSCAM VIGIA+ can communicate with different types of servers, provided they are properly configured.
Each server has its features when connecting to ITSCAM VIGIA+:
Server Interaction with ITSCAM VIGIA+
FTP Equipment connects via FTP with one of the servers available for sending images
ITSCAMPRO
By configuring the ITSCAM VIGIA+ 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 ITSCAM VIGIA+, allowing visualization and
generation of different types of reports (please consult Pumatronix for more information about
the application)
RTSP*
The Real Time Streaming server can receive the images captured by ITSCAM VIGIA+ through the
link rtsp://IP_DA_ITSCAM:PORTA/mjpeg . If the default port 554 is specified, the link will be
rtsp://IP_DA_ITSCAM/mjpeg
Serial Port
Creates a TCP server on ITSCAM VIGIA+ on the specified ports and causes all messages that
travel through the ITSCAM VIGIA+ serial port to be redirected to the port that has been
configured in the TCP protocol
Q-protocol Configures the ITSCAM VIGIA+ to communicate with systems using equipment with support for
the Q Protocol, which sends the vehicle passage record
*ITSCAM VIGIA+ implements an MJPEG stream that operates independently from the server it is configured on. This
stream can be composed of images not synchronized with the lighting, as well as illuminated images.
