4 Installation Guide
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.
•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: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
Cable requirements
For proper operation, adhere to the following cable and power
requirements for the cameras. Category 5 cabling or better is
recommended. All network cabling must be installed according
to applicable codes and regulations.
Table 1 below lists the requirements for the cables that
connect to the camera.

Installation Guide 9
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.
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 bullet camera”
on page 10.
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
ANPR IP Camera Configuration Manual”.
4. Program the camera as appropriate for its location. For
further information, please refer to the “TruVision ANPR
IP 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.

10 Installation Guide
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 128GB 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 8). The card is not supplied with the camera.
Recorded video and log files can be accessed via the web
browser or via TruVision Navigator.
Mounting the bullet camera
Mount the camera on a ceiling or wall.
To mount the bullet camera:
1. Use the supplied template to mark out the mounting area.
Drill the screw holes on the ceiling or wall. If you need to
route the cables from the camera base, drill a cable hole
in the ceiling or wall.
2. Secure the back box to the ceiling or wall with the
supplied screws.

Installation Guide 11
3. Hook the camera to the back box with the safety cable.
Use the screws to fix the camera to the back box.
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:
•Use one camera for each lane.

12 Installation Guide
•The recommended minimum height of a license plate
should be between 20 to 30 pixels in the image captured
by the 2-megapixel resolution camera.
Camera angle
It is important that the camera is correctly installed to ensure
the accuracy of the license plate detection.
•Entrance
Horizontal angle
The viewing angle of the camera should be within 30 degrees
to the path of movement.

Installation Guide 13
Vertical angle
The angle between the lens direction and the horizontal
should be less than 30 degrees.
•Road
Horizontal angle
The viewing angle of the camera should not exceed 30
degrees.

14 Installation Guide
Vertical angle
The angle between the lens direction and the horizontal
should be less than 30 degrees
Camera height
You must first determine the installation height and then the
detection range (L). Use the following formula to calculate the
detection range:
L = tan 30 x H
