Installation
This section provides information on how to install the cameras.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
•Electrical: Install electrical wiring carefully. It should be done by qualified service
personnel. Always use a proper PoE switch or a 12 VDC UL listed Class 2 or CE
certified power supply to power the camera. Do not overload the power cord or
adapter.
•Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the camera is well
ventilated.
•Temperature: Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature,
humidity, or power source ratings. The operating temperature of the camera is
between -30 to +60°C (-22 to 140°F). Humidity is below 90%.
•Moisture: Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture or try to operate it in wet
areas. Turn the power off immediately if the camera is wet and ask a qualified service
person for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera and create the danger of
electric shock.
•Servicing: Do not attempt to service this camera yourself. Any attempt to dismantle or
remove the covers from this product will invalidate the warranty and may also result in
serious injury. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Installation Guide 5
•Cleaning: Do not touch the sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use
a clean cloth with some ethanol and wipe the camera gently. If the camera will not be
used for an extended period, put on the lens cap to protect the sensors from dirt.
Package contents
Check the package and contents for visible damage. If any components are damaged or
missing, do not attempt to use the unit; contact the supplier immediately. If the unit is
returned, it must be shipped back in its original packaging.
CAUTION: Use direct plug-in UL listed power supplies marked Class 2/CE certified or
LPS (limited power source) of the required output rating as listed on the unit.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.

Setting up the camera
Note: If the light source where the camera is installed experiences rapid, wide variations
in lighting, the camera may not operate as intended.

Installation Guide 7
To quickly put the camera into operation:
1. Prepare the mounting surface.
2 Mount the camera on the mounting surface using the appropriate fasteners. See
“Mounting the camera” on page 8.
3. Set up the camera’s network and streaming parameters so that the camera can be
controlled over the network. For further information, please refer to the “TruVision S
Series ANPR Camera Configuration Manual”.
4. Program the camera as appropriate for its location. For further information, please
refer to the “TruVision S Series ANPR Camera Configuration Manual”.
IR illumination
The camera’s built-in IR illuminators provides high-quality video in low-light environments,
even when there is no other illumination available.
You can configure the IR illuminators using a web browser or a client software, such as
TruVision Navigator. If the function is enabled, the IR light is On when the camera enters
night (black and white) mode. If disabled, the IR light is always Off.
The visible IR range may vary due to multiple factors such as weather, IR reflection level
of objects in frame, lens adjustment, and camera settings. Please refer to the camera
datasheet for the standard IR range.
Note: Avoid installing the IR camera closely facing a solid object such as a tree or wall.
The reflection will cause over-exposure and loss of visibility of detail in field of view.
Accessing the SD card
Insert a Micro SD card with up to 265GB to use the camera as an additional recording
device, or as a backup in case of failure of communication with the network video
recorder (see Figure 1 on page 6). The card is not supplied with the camera.
Recorded video and log files can be accessed via the web browser or via TruVision
Navigator.

Using the camera with a TruVision recorder or
another system
Please refer to the NVR/DVR user manuals for instructions on connecting and operating
the camera with these systems.
Using the camera with TruVision Navigator
A camera can either be connected to a TruVision, or it can be added directly to TruVision
Navigator. Please refer to the TruVision Navigator user manual for instructions on
operating the camera with TruVision Navigator.
Installation recommendations
When installing the camera, please follow these recommendations:
1. It is recommended that no more than two traffic lanes are covered by each ANPR
camera.

Installation Guide 15
2. Select the appropriate lens according to the following table:
Lens (mm) Min. recognition distance
(m)
Max. recognition distance
(m)
2.8~12 2 18
8~32 6 48
3.8~16 3 24
11~40 8 60
3. Choose the desired installation height when the pitch angle is 30° (the pitch angle is
the angle between the camera/vehicle line and the road).
Type Height H (m) Min. Length L
(m)
Entrance / Exit 1.5 2.5
2 3.5
City street
3 5
4 7
5 8.5
6 10

16 Installation Guide
4. The pitch angle should be greater than 15°and less than 30°. ≤
Pitch angle too small Pitch angle too large Pitch angle OK
5. The angle between the direction of the moving vehicle (1) and the vertical direction (2)
should be less than 30°.

Installation Guide 17
For example:
>30°，too large >30°，too large
<30°OK <30°OK
6. The number of pixel required to identify the following items:
Number of Pixels
Plate Character
Recognition
Vehicle Brand
Recognition
Vehicle Type
Recognition (*)
27 <Height <40
135 <Width <270 >34 x 34 >345
* Note: To recognize the vehicle type (car, truck, bus, etc**), the camera needs to be
installed above the road and be able to see the whole vehicle. When measured in
pixels, the shorter side (2) of the vehicle’s bounding box (1) (see the figure below)
should be larger than the number of pixels for the items listed in the above table.
** Motorcycle can only be identified in a checkpoint scenario and only in certain
countries. The countries are Italy, Spain, Myanmar, Vietnam, Colombia, Brazil,
Middle East, and Taiwan.
