5. Plan Your Site

Table 3. Installation Considerations
Item Considerations

Surge Protection

  • You must use a network surge protector/arrestor on all 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 and IZIDPUG, even when under a heavy processing load.

Cable Extensions

IMPORTANT

All network cable extensions and repeaters must be shielded.

  • 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).

Camera Configuration and Mounting

  • Refer to the relevant installation and configuration documentation for your camera(s). The cameras should be configured, mounted and connected to the LAN before mounting and configuring the IZIDPUG.

6. Prepare Cables

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).

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.

Figure 7. LAN Cable: Shield Wire Soldered to Connector Body

7. Connect Components (Wiring)

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

Turn off/disconnect the any external (AC) power supplies before connecting cables.

All network cable extensions and repeaters must be shielded.
image
Figure 8. Typical Wiring Diagram for Access Control

Events can be sent to IZCentral using the Inex HTTP API.

Events can be sent to 3rd party systems using the Inex HTTP API and/or the Inex ZAP Protocol (see the RoadView ALPR User Guide for configuration details). See Section 1.

8. Power Up and Set Up IP

8.1. Reserving IP Addresses in your Network

The IZIDPUG and 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 (IZIDPUG and cameras).

8.2. 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 component, even when under a heavy processing load.

  1. Connect the AC power to the IZIDPUG’s power supply

  2. Plug the barrel connector into the IZIDPUG

  3. Press the POWER button on the front panel

  4. Verify that the IZIDPUG has started to operate properly (see Section 8.3)

8.3. Verifying Initial Operation

With power applied, you should see that:

  • The Power and Status LEDs on the back panel light up (see Section 4.6.3)

  • The LAN connector LEDs on the left panel light/flash to indicate network activity (see Section 4.6.2)

If the LEDs do not light as expected check if:

  • The cable(s) are carrying power all the way to reach the unit.

  • The LAN cable is connected properly to the unit.

8.4. 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 the unit’s IP address.

8.5. Using RoadView

8.5.1. Logging In

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

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

    image
    Figure 9. 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).

8.5.2. 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.

9. 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.
