All network cable extensions and repeaters must be shielded.

  • Power supply:

    • 12VDC, 1.2 Amp power supply, with male barrel connector (5.5 mm outer diameter, 2.1 mm inner diameter), or

    • PoE (IEEE 802.3af) switch capable of providing 12VDC at 1.2 Amp

Image result for barrel connector
Figure 2. Male Barrel Connector

  • Waterproof junction box for the camera’s power and LAN connections

  • Waterproof insulating tape (such as butyl tape)

  • Network cabling (typically CAT 5e/6 cable) and switch. The total length of the cable from the network switch to the camera should not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).

  • Laptop computer to use for calibration and configuration, with the following requirements:

    • Windows 10 or above - with .NET 4.5 enabled in "Windows Features"

    • Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser

  • A list of accessories that can be supplied by Inex can be found at the end of the Specifications (see Section 4.4).

5.2. Optional Accessories

  • Pole mount adapter (PMA) - see the Mounting Hardware documentation (see Section 1)

  • External Illuminator - Can be used to enhance overview vehicle image quality, for front and/or rear capture. It is recommended to use an illuminator power supply separate from the camera’s supply.

    • Mount illuminators at an appropriate distance away from their associated camera(s), according to the objectives of your project. Contact Inex for guidance/training.

    • Position the illuminator so you can aim it at the place where vehicles pass for recognition - while minimizing the glare into drivers' eyes. In most cases, however, white illuminators are mounted to be aimed at the rear of vehicles. Illuminator aiming is most effective at night.

6. Recognizing Devices with IZ Discovery

The IZ Discovery utility discovers all active devices connected to the network, and displays a list of their network parameters. These devices can include cameras and computers.

See the IZ Discovery User Guide (see Section 1).

7. Configuring Camera Settings

See your camera’s Installation Guide for detailed instructions (see Section 1.)
