3.3 ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) Control

3.3.1 Light Sensor Connection

ADR control is a process that runs inside the EN camera. It controls the camera every 1/10 second to 
ensure that when the camera is triggered, it produces a high quality image of the license plate and the 
vehicle it is mounted on, in all ambient lighting conditions. The ADR also decides when to turn on/off 
auxiliary lighting as required to maintain proper plate illumination at night and during dawn/dusk 
transitions. ADR uses an external light sensor to provide the information required to operate properly. 
ADR operation can be enabled/disabled by the user at any time. Make sure to set up Moxa (RS-485 to 
Ethernet converter) properly. See (VIS400 manual Appendix A). 

In the camera’s “Properties” window, set up the light sensor’s IP address and Port number. These 
numbers must be consistent with Moxa’s setting.
