WARNING:
It is highly recommended that you install the moisture
absorber when mounting the camera. The moisture
absorber prevents moisture from being captured
inside the camera's housing, which may cause image
performance issues and damage the camera.
NOTE:
The camera will generate enough heat to dry moisture
during operation. In most cases it will not need the
moisture absorber for more than the first day. In cases
where the camera can experience a moisture issue,
users must keep the moisture absorber in the camera.
The moisture absorber has an approximately 6-month
life cycle, varying depending on the environment.
STEP 2 – POWERING THE CAMERA
Power requirements
Power consumption
DC12V, PoE
(IEEE 802.3af class 3).
Adapter not Included.
DC12V Max 9W
PoE Max 10.5W
Pass the wires through and make all the necessary connections. See STEP 4.
1. When using a PoE Switch or PoE Injector, connect the camera using an
Ethernet cable for both data and power.
2. When not using a PoE Switch or PoE Injector, connect the camera to the
switch using an Ethernet cable for data transmission and use a power
adapter to power the camera.
• The LPR camera should be mounted at a height between 3~8 ft., and
a distance no greater than 80 ft. from the target area. Exceeding
the distance recommendations may result in a poor quality image
of moving license plates.
• Ensure that the camera angle is no more than 20° degrees
(horizontally) 30° degrees (vertically) from the target area.
• It is recommended to position a license plate or vehicle to reflect
the IR light of the camera while adjusting the camera’s focus of the
target area.
• After mounting the camera, you can press the Zoom Lens Button
(located on the underside of the camera) to sequentially zoom and
auto-focus the camera. Alternatively, the camera’s web GUI or
management software can be utilized as well. The longer the Zoom
Lens button (T-W jog button) is pressed down, the further the lens
module will zoom.
• Please note that the cameras ship with focus in Manual mode. To
change the camera’s focus to Auto, enter the camera’s web GUI and
use the +/- zoom buttons on the left of the camera image.
