    All network cable extensions and repeaters must be shielded.

4.5. Laptop Computer

  • You will need to provide a laptop computer to use for configuration. If you will be using the laptop outdoors, the screen must be able to be seen in strong sunlight. Required software:

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

    • Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser

5. Plan Your Site

5.1. Horizontal Field of View (Capture Line)

Your camera’s Field of View (FOV) is the area that the camera can "see". You can think of this area as an imaginary rectangle rising from the lane upwards. The width of this area is called the horizontal FOV or "capture line".

See your camera’s User Guide for the horizontal and vertical FOV specifications.

image
Figure 3. Field of View (Capture Line)

Select your camera’s position so that license plates are always within the capture line and parallel to it, with the camera facing as straight at the plates as possible - as shown in the following diagrams:

image
Figure 4. Plates Within Capture Line
image
Figure 5. Plates Parallel to Capture Line - Away from Road Curves

5.2. Angles and Distances

See your camera’s data sheet for capture distance specifications.

Installations that position the camera at significant angles in relation to the plates will reduce the line-of-sight distances specified.
image
Figure 6. Horizontal Camera Angle (Pan Angle)

Click to show notes for Horizontal Angle

See your camera’s data sheet for capture distance specifications.

If you must capture plates on a curve, place the camera on the side of the road that minimizes the horizontal angle.

At larger angles, the reflectivity of the plates is reduced, resulting in images with less contrast.
image
Figure 7. Vertical Camera Angle (Tilt Angle) and Line-of-Sight Distance from Plate
Click to show notes for Vertical Angle

See your camera’s data sheet for capture distance specifications.

The distance from the camera to the capture line must be within the viewing range of the LPR camera.

Adjust the vertical angle so that the camera can read plates at all of their expected heights from the road.

Larger angles and/or greater mounting heights may be required in order to recognize plates on vehicles close to each other (such as in slow/congested traffic).

At larger angles, the reflectivity of the plates is reduced, resulting in images with less contrast.

5.3. Position of the Sun in Relation to the Camera

The camera should not be positioned so that the rays of the sun behind the camera shine along the camera-to-plate axis. Reflective plates will cause severe glare to be reflected back to the camera, obscuring the image of the plate’s characters.

Avoid/mitigate by:

  • Not installing the camera in an east/west direction

  • Installing the camera near a building that shields it from the sun’s rays

  • Installing the camera on a short pole

  • Using a double-camera installation (2 different angles or front/rear)

image
Figure 8. Sun Behind Camera (on Same Axis as Line-of-Sight from Camera to Plate)

5.4. Optimizing Nighttime Vehicle Overview Images (using External Illuminators)

External illuminators 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 System’s supply.

image
Figure 9. External Illuminator

5.4.1. Matching Your Camera System to an Inex Illuminator

The wavelength of an external illuminator must be compatible with the wavelength of the internal illuminators of the Inex Camera System.

The Inex IZA800GORT Camera Systems are typically used with the IZS series strobe illuminators.

By using the following guidelines, you can match the illuminator to your Inex Camera System.

  • The number of illuminator LEDs and beam angle must match the distance type (long or short) of the Camera System being used, as follows:

    • Fewer LEDs and wider beam angles are used for short distances

    • More LEDs and narrower beam angles are used for longer distances

The results of applying these guidelines can be found in the following table:

5.4.2. Illuminator Triggering and Pulse Width

You can trigger an illuminator from the LPR or OV camera by using appropriate wiring (see Section 8). The pulse width and other parameters that affect illuminator operation are pre-configured according to your project’s requirements.

5.4.3. Illuminator Mounting and Aiming

See the illuminator guides for further details about installation and mounting considerations (see Section 1).

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

  • 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.

5.4.4. Verifying Infrared-type Illuminator Operation

You can look at an infrared-type illuminator with a smartphone camera to see if it is working.

5.5. Additional Installation Considerations

Table 4. Additional Installation Considerations
Item Considerations

Surge Protection

  • On power, network and data cables

Correct, Stable and Sufficient Power

  • Power undervoltage, overvoltage and/or incorrect polarity will damage the unit and will void the warranty.

  • Stable power at the correct level must be supplied to each Camera System, even when under a heavy processing load.

Cable Extensions

IMPORTANT
All network cable extensions and repeaters must be shielded.

  • Power - Use a cable gauge sufficient to deliver 24 VDC at the Camera System

  • LAN - Use only CAT 5e/6 cable for any extensions added to the LAN cable. The total length of the cable should not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).

  • In order to use the connector included with the Camera System, the outer diameter of the LAN cable must be in the range of 0.20" to 0.25" (5.0 to 6.5 mm).

Front/Rear Capture - or Both

  • Country requirements

  • Vehicle types

  • Protruding parts that obscure plates (such as rear hooks)

  • Recessed plates

Objects with character-like appearances (interpreted as characters on a plate, resulting in false reads)

Avoid having these items in the Field of View:

  • Fences with patterns

  • Barriers

  • Signs

Obstructions (blocking FOV)

  • Entry gates

  • Trees and bushes (even before fully grown)

  • Bright light (sun/artificial) shining directly into Camera System’s front window

  • Weather - snow, heavy rain, dust storms

  • Dirt on front window (see Section 13)

Mounting

  • Typically gantry (can also be on wall/pole)

  • Additional construction if needed

6. Prepare Cables

6.1. Constructing the Power/Signals Cable

Prefabricated cables can be ordered from Inex. See Section 1 and Table 6.

At the end of this procedure, you will need to check that there is conductivity from the shield wire (at the power supply end of the cable) to the body of the connector that will be connected to the Camera System.

Use the cable type recommended in the Required Accessories section (see Section 4.2).

  1. Lay out the parts from the power connector package.

    image
    Figure 10. Power/Signals Cable: Laying Out Connector Parts

  2. Thread the cable through the sealing nut and rubber seal.

    image
    Figure 11. Power/Signals Cable: Threading Cable Through Sealing Nut and Rubber Seal

  3. Prepare the cable shielding:

    1. Thread the cable all the way through the clamp cage body. Strip off the outer insulation of the cable, leaving the individual insulated wires exposed to a length of 18mm. Be careful not to cut into the inner foil and plastic jackets (casings) surrounding the individual insulated wires.

    2. Slit the foil jacket, and bend it back onto the outer insulation.

    3. Carefully cut away the plastic jacket enclosing the individual insulated wires.

    4. Wrap the shield wire (the one without insulation) 1-2 times around the foil jacket that you bent back.

      image
      Figure 12. Power/Signals Cable: Stripping Off the Outer Insulation

  4. Peel the backing off of the conductive foil to expose the adhesive.

    image
    Figure 13. Power/Signals Cable: Peeling Backing off Conductive Foil

  5. Wrap the conductive foil around the point at which the outer insulation was stripped, to cover and make contact with the shield wire and foil jacket.

    image
    Figure 14. Power/Signals Cable: Wrapping Conductive Foil Around Shield Wire and Jacket

  6. Strip off 5 mm from each individual wire. Insert each wire into its appropriate screw terminal, and tighten with a 2 mm flat screwdriver. The suggested wire colors and pinouts are shown in the following Figures. The notch between pins 1 and 2 on the face of the connector corresponds to the notch on the circular body of the screw terminals.

  7. Insert the screw terminals body into the clamp cage housing. Note how the tabs on the screw terminals fit into the grooves in the clamp cage housing.

    image
    Figure 16. Power/Signals Cable: Inserting Screw Terminals' Tabs into Clamp Cage Housing

  8. Verify that the conductive foil is now making contact with the spring sleeve protrusions inside the clamp cage housing. Use a 16 mm torque wrench to tighten the nut that fastens the clamp cage housing to the screw terminals body (torque 4-6 kgf.cm / 0.39-0.59 N.m.).

    image
    Figure 17. Power/Signals Cable: Foil in Contact with Spring Inside Clamp Cage Housing

  9. Slide the sealing nut along the cable, and insert it in between the clamp cage protrusions.

    image
    Figure 18. Power Cable: Inserting the Sealing Nut into the Clamp Cage

  10. Using a 16 mm wrench, tighten the nut that seals the end of the clamp cage housing. (torque 4-6 kgf.cm / 0.39-0.59 N.m.). Verify that the sealing nut is in tight contact with the inner body of the nut (to provide insulation against moisture). The sealing nut may pucker a bit due to the pressure of the nut; this is normal.

    image
    Figure 19. Power Cable: Tightening the Nut to Seal the Clamp Cage

  11. The point in the cable at which you will be connecting the power wires (+, - and ground) to the power supply may be in the middle of the cable. (This part of the cable is typically inside a connection box to seal all connections from moisture.)

    1. Strip off a portion of outer insulation of the cable at the end you will be connecting to the power supply. Remove enough insulation so the shield wire will be long enough to wrap several times around the foil jacket (see next steps) and come out of the cable to reach the power supply ground wire. Be careful not to cut into the inner foil and plastic jackets (casings) surrounding the individual insulated wires.

    2. Slit the foil jacket, and bend it back onto the outer insulation. Leave enough foil exposed so the shield wire can be wrapped several times around the foil.

    3. Carefully cut away the plastic jacket enclosing the individual insulated wires.

    4. Wrap the shield wire (the one without insulation) several times around the foil jacket that you bent back. There must be a tight contact between the shield wire and the foil.

      image
      Figure 20. Power Cable: Wrapping the Shield Wire at Power Supply End

    5. IMPORTANT: Check that there is conductivity from the shield wire (at the power supply end of the cable) to the body of the connector that will be connected to the camera.

    6. You can seal the shield wire wrapping on the cable with insulation tape or heat shrink tubing.

  12. Connect the shield wire to the ground wire of the power supply. You may need to extend the shield wire by soldering an additional wire on to it.

  13. Connect the (+) and (-) wires from the cable to the power supply.

    image
    Figure 21. Power Cable: Connecting the Cable Wires to the Power Supply

  14. Connect the remaining signal wires (see Section 8).

6.2. Constructing the LAN Cable

Prefabricated cables can be ordered from Inex. See Section 1 and Table 6.
Click to show Important notes for LAN cable construction

If you are building your own LAN cables, you must use RJ45 connectors with metal bodies. You must ensure that there is conductivity between the bodies of the connectors at each end of the cable. You can do this by extracting the cable’s shield wire before attaching the connector to the cable, and then soldering the shield wire to the body of the connector (see the following Figures).

The outer diameter of the LAN cable must be in the range of 0.20" to 0.25" (5.0 to 6.5 mm).

If you are using prefabricated CAT 5e/6 cables with metal-body RJ45 connectors, the shield wires have typically already been connected to each connector body. However, you must still check that there is conductivity between the bodies of the connectors at each end of the cable.
image
Figure 22. LAN Cable: Extracting the Shield Wire

Figure 23. LAN Cable: Shield Wire Soldered to Connector Body

  1. Lay out the parts from the network (LAN) connector package.

    image
    Figure 24. LAN Cable: Connector Parts

  2. Slip the sealing nut over the RJ45 connector onto the LAN cable, with the inner threads in the direction of the RJ45 connector.

    image
    Figure 25. LAN Cable: Slipping Sealing Nut Over RJ45 Connector

  3. Open the rubber sealing ring at its split, and put it on the cable.

    image
    Figure 26. LAN Cable: Attaching Rubber Sealing Ring to Cable

  4. Orient the support plastic with the wider side (with the thinner walls) towards the RJ45 connector. Put the support plastic on the cable (the split can expand slightly).

    image
    Figure 27. LAN Cable: Attaching the Support Plastic to the Cable

  5. Gently push the RJ45 connector into the housing until it fits snugly in the cutout in the housing.

    image
    Figure 28. LAN Cable: Inserting RJ45 into Housing Cutout

  6. Insert the support plastic into the housing, followed by the rubber sealing ring. Seat the rubber sealing ring between the housing’s teeth as far in as it will go.

    image
    Figure 29. LAN Cable: Inserting the Support Plastic and Rubber Ring into the Housing

  7. Tighten the sealing nut (torque 8-15 kgf.cm / 0.78-1.47 N.m.).

image
Figure 30. LAN Cable: Completed Assembly

7. Install Camera System(s) and Other Components

Before mounting components, see Section 8 to ensure that your site plan accommodates how the components will be wired together.

After mounting, remove the protective film from the front window of the Camera System.

  1. Secure the Camera System(s) and illuminator(s) to the appropriate mounting hardware (see the Mounting Hardware documentation - see Section 1).

  2. Mount other components (such as junction boxes) in appropriate locations.

8. Connect Components (Wiring)

Here are typical wiring diagrams. See Table 5 for the power/signals cable wire colors, and Table 6 for a legend/bill of materials.

Turn off/disconnect the external (AC) power supply before connecting cables.
If you are using an Inex power supply, see its User Guide (see Section 1) for important information.

The torques required to connect the cable connectors to the connectors on the Camera System are as follows: Power/signals cable: 3-4 kgf.cm / 0.29-0.39 N.m.; LAN cable: 5-8 kgf.cm / 0.49-0.78 N.m.

9. Power Up and Set Up IP

9.1. Connecting the Power

If any power cables were lengthened, ensure that all components receive exactly their rated voltage.

Power undervoltage, overvoltage and/or incorrect polarity will damage the unit and will void the warranty.

Stable power at the correct level must be supplied to each Camera System, even when under a heavy processing load.

Connect a plug to the Live (+V), Neutral (-V) and Ground (Shield) terminals of the power supply (see Section 8).

Plug the power supply into the AC electricity. If required, switch the power supply unit ON.

9.2. Reserving IP Addresses in your Network

The Inex cameras have been pre-configured with default IP addresses. You will probably need to change these addresses to conform to the requirements of your network. Be sure that you have IP addresses reserved for all components of your ALPR system (RoadView computer and cameras).

9.3. Set Up IP

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) for instructions on how to change a Camera System’s IP address.

10. Configure LPR/OV Camera Settings

10.1. Logging In to the Camera

  1. To view the camera’s home page (see Figure 34):

    • Open a browser. Enter the IP address of the camera into the address field.

      image
      Figure 34. Camera’s Home Page

  2. Select the function you need from the links at the upper left:

    • Click the Live button to see what the camera is currently viewing. You can also use the zoom and focus controls.

      Click to show notes for Live View

      When using Live View for the first time, you may be prompted to download and install an ActiveX control (Smart Viewer).
      If you do not have an internet connection to the network on which the camera is installed, wait 30 seconds, and you will be instructed on how to install the ActiveX control locally via the camera’s firmware.

      The stream of the Live View can also be accessed using an RTSP URL with this format :

      rtsp://[username:password]@<Camera IP address>/cam0_0
      where cam0_0 is a camera-specific parameter (which in this case enables you to access the primary stream)

      To see the stream, use a video player such as the VLC player, located at:
      VLC

    • If you need to change the camera’s IP address or other configuration parameters, click the Admin button. When prompted for a login, use the Administrator username/password credentials of root, IZpass12.

The Administrator user name (root) cannot be changed, and the Administrator password is encrypted. Therefore, if someone changes the Administrator password, there is no way to find out the password if it gets lost.

10.2. Changing a Camera’s IP Address

It is highly recommended to use a fixed IP address (not DHCP). A fixed IP address enables you to access the camera using the same URL every time, even after unexpected power outages.

You can also use IZ Discovery to change the camera’s IP address (see Section 1).

  1. In the Network group, click on IP Address:

    image
    Figure 35. Changing the Camera’s IP Address

  2. To change the IP address to a fixed one:

    The IP address must be unique within the entire ALPR system, and must be within the limits of standard IPv4 address numbering.

    1. Click the Static radio button.

    2. Enter the network address parameters. All cameras must be on the same subnet as both the computer you will use to communicate with and configure the camera, and the Inex RoadView computer.

    It is highly recommended to record the camera’s IP address and port number in a safe place. You will need them if the camera’s parameters are reset back to their defaults, and for configuring Inex recognition software.

  3. Click Apply.

    After selecting Apply, you will be requested to close your web browser so the updates can take effect. This will take 20 seconds or more, to allow the camera time to reboot.
    - If you click the browser’s Back button, all values will be discarded.
    - If you click the browser’s Refresh button, the application will load the previous values.

  4. In the IZ Discovery utility (see the IZ Discovery User Guide - see Section 1), click the "Clear List" button, and verify that the camera can be recognized with the new IP address.

10.3. Camera Settings

Camera settings are typically set by Inex.

10.4. Logging Out of the Camera

Close all windows, and the browser window.

11. Aim and Calibrate

There are two cameras in the Camera System. Both are calibrated in nearly the same way. The LPR camera is set to capture in black and white, and the Overview (OV) camera is set to capture in color.

The OV camera can be used both to display an overview image, and to perform LPR recognition. You may even be able to improve read accuracy by changing the zoom to have one camera "see" closer than the other one.

11.1. Preparing a Vehicle/License Plate

Move a vehicle next to, and at the middle of the capture line. (This is the position at which the vehicle sensor signals that the vehicle is present.) Ensure that the Camera System is aimed at the middle of the lane, and is at the required capture distance (see Section 5 and the IZA800GORT User Guide - see Section 1).

Alternatively, in a lab, position a license plate at the expected distance and height.

11.2. Determining the IP Address of the RoadView Computer with IZ Discovery

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

11.3. Using RoadView

11.3.1. Logging In

  1. Open a browser (Chrome or Microsoft Edge). Type in the IP address of the RoadView computer. For example:
    192.168.5.110

  2. You will see the login screen. Enter the default username and password (root, root):

    image
    Figure 36. Logging In to RoadView

  3. You should see the RoadView Live (Journal) tab. See the RoadView ALPR User Guide for instructions for configuring and using RoadView (see Section 1).

11.3.2. Logging Out

See the RoadView ALPR User Guide (see Section 1) for logout instructions, using the multi-line dropdown menu icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

11.4. Calibrating the Cameras Using RoadView

See the RoadView ALPR User Guide (see Section 1) for calibration instructions.

12. Verify System Operation

  • Using a license plate mounted in a lab, or by driving a vehicle through the lane, verify that an Event is generated with the correct plate read (recorded in the RoadView Live (Journal) tab - see the RoadView ALPR User Guide). See Section 1.

  • Once the lane is active, verify that Events are being generated for each vehicle passing each camera, and that the recognition has sufficient accuracy and confidence.

13. Troubleshooting and Maintenance

13.1. Troubleshooting

See the RoadView ALPR User Guide (see Section 1).

13.2. Checking Mounting Screws

It is recommended to check all mounting screws for proper tightness once every two years.

13.3. Cleaning the ALPR Camera System

Do not use solvents or strong abrasive detergent when cleaning the Camera System. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the ALPR Camera System’s front glass when it is dirty. If the dirt has hardened, remove it using mild soap and water, and then wipe the front window gently.
