2 Description


The DINION capture is a specialty camera designed to capture consistent, high-quality images of vehicle license plates.

Available in IP and analog versions, it is ideal for monitoring parking lots, public areas, and for controlling vehicle access.

The DINION capture overcomes the problems encountered when using conventional surveillance cameras in vehicle identification and automatic license plate recognition applications. The Night Capture Imaging System delivers a burst of infrared illumination and simultaneously filters out visible light to ensure clear license plate images in complete darkness while eliminating the negative effects of headlight glare.

Advanced Ambient Compensation minimizes plate overexposure from sunlight for more accurate automatic license plate recognition. Finally, adjustable imaging modes allow for fine-tuning the imager for specific regions or license plate recognition algorithms.

Table 3.1

Ranges for DINION capture 5000 and 7000 Analog Imagers

Determining the Angle

The maximum mounting angle of the license plate camera to the car is 40° for speeds up to 160 km/h (100 mph), both horizontally and vertically. This angle limits the amount of skew of the letters on the number plate. If the letters are skewed too much they will start to become unrecognizable and will reduce automatic software recognition rates.

For maximum performance ensure the mounting angle is as narrow as possible. To capture vehicle speeds up to 225 km/h

(140 mph) the horizontal and vertical mounting angle should be less than 30°.

Figure 3.1

Recommended Vertical and Horizontal Mounting Angle

1 DINION capture

2 Capture Range

3 Vertical Mounting Angle

4 Horizontal Mounting Angle

If the maximum range is exceeded, then the letters become smaller and more difficult to read. At the maximum range and angle the width of the number plate covers approximately 12% of the width of the screen.

NOTICE!

The Capture Range is the distance from the license plate camera to the license plate. Working below the optimal capture distance allows a larger area for number plates and more accurate recognition but less lane area can be covered. If the imager is too close to the license plate, the plate could disappear from the field of view before it is captured.




3.3


Mounting the DINION capture

CAUTION!

Installation should only be performed by a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.

For a secure mounting installation, bolts should extend through the mounting surface and be secured with nuts, washers, and lock washers on the opposite side. If studs are used, they should be anchored in concrete or welded to a steel backer plate.

Refer to the MBE Mounts and Adapters Installation Guide for more details about attaching the bracket to an MBE-15 Pole

Mount Adapter or to the MBE-17 Wall Mount Adapter.

1.

3.4

Preparing the Wiring

Installing the DINION capture | en 23

CAUTION!

Before proceeding, disconnect the power from the power supply cable. Ensure that the voltage of the unit matches the voltage and type of the power supply being used.

3.4.1

3.4.2

The DINION capture 5000 comes pre-wired with a single twowire power input lead and a single 75 ohm coaxial video cable output lead terminated with a BNC connector. The DINION capture 7000 comes pre-wired with a single two-wire power input lead and two 75-ohm coaxial video cables, one cable for each camera. On all units the video and power wires are encased in an approximately 2 m long cable, the last 10 cm of the cable the power and video breaks out separately.

Power Input Connections

A voltage regulator circuit allows for DC or AC operation between 11-30 VDC and 24 VAC. It also provides protection from voltage surges, transient spikes, and reversed voltage.

Connect power from a 24 VAC or 11–30 VDC Class 2 power supply to the ferrule tipped power leads (red, black) from the camera. Use minimum AWG18 stranded wire.

Note:

For a Class 2 AC/DC supply the polarity does not matter.

Video Connections

The DINION capture provides male BNC connector outputs at the end of the cable. On the DINION capture 7000 the white video cable is for the license plate camera and the red cable is for the overview camera. A UTP adapter (VDA-455UTP) is available as an optional accessory to allow a UTP video cable to be connected to the BNC connector.




3.5

Making the Connections


WARNING!

Before proceeding, disconnect the DINION capture from the power supply. Ensure that the voltage of the unit matches the voltage and type of the power supply being used.

The easiest way to connect the cables is as follows:

1.

Bring the building connections through the surface cable hole so that they hang clear.

2.

Connect the BNC connector of the license plate camera module to the video coax cable. For the DINION capture

7000, connect a video coax cable to the video output cables for both the license plate camera (white cable) and for the overview camera (red cable).

3.

Connect the ferrule tipped power wires (red, black; polarity independent) from the license plate camera to the power supply connection.

4.

In damp environments ensure that the connections are sealed inside a junction box or a field wiring box with

NEMA 3 or IP55 protection level or better. Make the connections inside the water tight compartment. After connections are made, ensure that the watertight compartment is tightly closed and cables and conduits are properly sealed to prevent ingress of water.

3.6

Automatic Mode Switching

Automatic Mode Switching is a feature on the license plate camera that automatically compensates for bright conditions.

Automatic Mode Switching, by default, operates by switching from Mode 1 (Normal) to Mode 2 (FullSun) when the ambient light levels rise above normal conditions (for example, bright sunlight on the scene). Automatic Mode Switching is inactive by default and requires setup to operate as desired.

In most conditions, Automatic Mode Switching may not be necessary. Activate the switch only if the license plate camera

| 1.0 | 2012.01


DINION capture 5000/7000 Installing the DINION capture | en 25 operates as desired during darker conditions but overexposes the image during sunny conditions.

IMPORTANT: Only setup Automatic Mode Switching if the target license plate is in the sun and the captured image is overexposed, never setup if the license plate is in the shade.

Mode Details

Mode 2 (FullSun) is two (2) gain points less than the normal mode, by default. You can modify both mode settings as needed in order to provide the desired image throughout the day.

When modifying settings first verify which mode is active:

– Navigate to the Install menu (refer to

Section 4.1.2 Accessing Menu Keys, page 28).

– Access the Camera ID option and enable the Mode ID in any preferred position.

– The active mode shows on the screen after a power cycle.

If changes are made to Mode 1 (Normal) ensure that the offset change is made to Mode 2 (FullSun). For example, if the plate image is too bright in Mode 1 (Normal) and you change the gain from 8 to 6, then you should change the gain in Mode 2

(FullSun) from 6 to 4.

Important:

After changes are made to any settings ensure the DINION capture is left in mode 1 under 'Mode' in the Main menu (refer to Section 4.1 Menus, page 28).



26 en | Installing the DINION capture DINION capture 5000/7000

To setup Automatic Mode Switching:

1.

Ensure to setup during the brightest conditions of the day, the plate image should appear very bright before setup.

2.

Remove the back panel of the housing and enable the

Pre-Defined Modes

There are six operating modes settings to make configuration easier. In the license plate camera, Normal and FullSun modes are pre-programmed to work with Automatic Mode Switching.

Any one of the six modes can be selected as the "switch-to" mode in Automatic Mode Switching, refer to Section 4.6.3 Alarm

I/O submenu, page 47. The modes are defined as follows;

1.

Normal (Mode 1)

Default installation mode to provide stable pictures over a

24-hour period. These settings are optimized for out-ofthe-box installation.

2.

4.3

Day/Night switching (DINION capture

7000)

The overview camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The mechanical IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR illuminated applications by software configuration settings.

If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The switching level is programmable. In Auto switching mode the camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images without motion blur as long as the light level permits) or color

(the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level permits). The camera recognizes IR illuminated scenes to prevent unwanted switching to color mode.

There are four different methods of controlling the IR filter:

– via an alarm input,

– via Bilinx communication,

– automatically, based on the observed light levels, or

– as part of the programmable mode profile.

| 1.0 | 2012.01



4.4


Camera control communication (Bilinx)

The DINION capture is equipped with a coaxial communications transceiver (also referred to as Bilinx). In combination with VP-

CFGSFT, the camera setting can be changed from any point along the coaxial cable. All menus can be accessed remotely giving full control of the camera. With this method of communication it is also possible to disable the local keys on the camera. To avoid loss of communication on an installed camera, the Communication On/Off selection is not available while using remote control. This function can only be accessed with the camera buttons. Bilinx communications can only be disabled using the buttons on the camera.

Disabled camera buttons

When the Bilinx communications link is active, the buttons on the camera are disabled.
