8 Typical Installation
Typical Installation
C5 is typically installed at the entrance to a secured area or parking lot, requiring only a
power supply and, optionally, a gate.
Typical Access Control Installation
The following figure illustrates how the system is typically installed at the entrance to a
secured area. A sensor, such as the internal motion detector or a hardware loop detector,
indicates the presence of a vehicle. The sensor signals the C5 unit, located behind the
gate’s boom, to start a new recognition sequence. C5 identifies the vehicle’s license plate
number, and if is authorized, C5 opens the gate.

For most secured areas, the system can control only the entrance. The exit is
automatically opened for the vehicles exiting the secured area via a direct connection
from the sensor to the gate.
Typical Monitoring Mode Installation
In a monitoring mode installation, C5 is used to report on passing vehicles.
In this mode, the unit can be connected to other units via a local network (intranet) that
reports the recognition results, including the captured image, to a central server. The data
is transmitted via TCP/IP over a wired or wireless connection.
