Safety Warning
1. Do not open the cover, it may cause electric shock. Ask a qualified
service person for maintenance when you encounter any problems.
2. Install the camera away from TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric
motor, transformer, audio speakers because the magnetic fields
generated from above devices will distort the video image.
3. Place the camera on a solid base. Install the camera away from
stoves or other heat generating devices as the high temperature could
cause deformation, discoloration or other damages to the camera.
Install the camera at where the temperature range does not exceed
-10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F)
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Appendix
Installation Manual for Special Application: License Plate Recognition
1. A 5-55mm or other more than 10X suitable vari-focal auto iris lens is
recommended. Connect regulated DC12V power supply to the power input at the
rear panel of camera. Connect HD-SDI output to the HD monitor.
2. Fix the camera on the bracket. Adjust the viewing angle of camera according to
the below recommendations:
For capturing the front plate no.: Setting the camera at a 15° or less vertical
angle will achieve the best performance. Do not let the vertical angle exceed
20° (Figure 1).
For capturing the back plate no.: The vertical angle must not exceed 30°
(Figure 2).
Capture zone distance: Between 15~20 meters from the camera.

3. Adjust the zoom of the vari-focal lens. The picture width should not exceed 1.5
traffic lanes at the capture zone.
ÆEnter SETUP menu and select “DC” under LENS options.
4. In order to ensure a clear image under different light conditions, adjust the
settings once during the daytime and once during the nighttime is recommended
to achieve optimal results.
Daytime setting:
Adjust the lens focus to see a clear image both at the center and the upper /
down edges of the monitor. If the image on the monitor is too bright, adjust
the shutter speed accordingly.
ÆEnter EXPOSURE sub-menu under SETUP menu and select “SHUTTER”.
ÆSelect shutter speed according to the speed of vehicle.
Suggested Shutter Speed:
¾When speed of vehicle is less than 50km: 1/250 sec.
¾When speed of vehicle is less than 100km: 1/500 sec.
¾When speed of vehicle is more than 100km: 1/2000 sec.
Nighttime setting:
Adjust the lens focus to see a clear image at the upper / down edges of the
monitor (means focus at the center).According to the environment, adjust
AGC value to heighten the brightness signal when necessary.
ÆEnter EXPOSURE sub-menu under SETUP menu and select “AGC”.
ÆAGC: LOW – MIDDLE – HIGH adjustable.
5. If the image is smeared and the license plate number is not captured clearly, adjust
the shutter speed until the image is clear.
