When a license plate passes by the camera, the reflective lm on the plate will be reected back to the camera which gives youthe good clear shot of the plate. You will ONLY capture an image of the plate. US license plates need to be at least 216 pixels wide. This translates roughly into an image no wider than 5-6 feet assuming 1944p standard denition video. THE CAMERA SHOULD BE MOUNTED AT AN ANGLE NO GREATER THAN 30 DEGREES 1 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. 2 Ensure that the camera angle is no more than 20° degrees (horizontally) 30° degrees (vertically) from the target area. 3 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. 4 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. 5 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. 8 Installation - Installation < 20° CAMERA ANGLE NO GREATER THAN 20 DEGREES FOR SIDE MOUNT INSTALLATIONS 3-8ft < 30° THE CAMERA SHOULD BE MOUNTED AT AN ANGLE NO GREATER THAN 30 DEGREES 9 Installation - Cabling Two Options Use a PoE-enabled switch to connect data and power through a single cable and begin viewing and recording images instantly. A non-PoE switch will require an adaptor for power transmission. 2.

If you use a router, enter the routers’ static IP and the web port number of the IP camera. i Do not power on the IP camera until instructed. i Temporarily disable any proxy servers configured in Internet Explorer. i If connecting the IP camera directly to a modem, power down and reset the modem. Leave the modem powered down until the camera's configuration is complete and the IP Camera has been connected to the modem. 1 Connect the IP camera to the configured network. 2 Open the DW IP Finder on a PC on the same network as the camera and search for the camera. If you have a dynamic address provided by your ISP 1. Open Internet Explorer and go to your DDNS website. 2. Register the IP camera. 3. Reboot the IP camera. 4. Give the DDNS server 10 minutes to locate your IP camera’s IP information. 5. Click the refresh button in Internet Explorer. 6. After your camera is connected, select your camera. i If you have a DHCP server, it will automatically set the camera's IP address and network settings. i If you do not have a DHCP server, the camera's IP address is set by default to 192.168.1.80 after one minute In this case, the PC's IP address must be changed to match the camera's IP address settings to be able to access the camera. 3 If multiple cameras are added at the same time, each camera can be identified by its mac address. 4 Click on the camera's IP address and connect to the web page. 5 Default ID/password are both: admin. 6 Familiarize yourself with the viewer interface. 7 Install VLC to display live video. 8 The camera's IP address settings can be set to ‘STATIC’ from the DW IP Finder or the camera's web viewer by going to Setup -> Network -> Network Settings. 9 If the IP camera is connected to a network with a router, you must have port forwarding configured on your router to access the camera from outside the network. 10 After configuring port forwarding on your router (if necessary), access your IP camera by opening Internet Explorer and typing the IP address and web port assigned to the IP camera. i Example: http://192.168.0.200:8888 i If your web port is 80, you do not need to specify the port in the address bar to access to your IP camera. 72 Network Setup - DDNS Registration If you have a DYNAMIC IP service from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you cannot tell the current IP address of the IP Camera. To solve this problem, you must register with our DDNS service. First, you must check if you are using dynamic addressing. If so, register your IP Video Server on our DDNS website before you configure, setup, or install the IP Camera. Even though your IP is not dynamic, you will benefit by registering your device with a DDNS service. In this case, just remember ' hostname. dyndns.com/gate1' instead of a complicated series of numbers like http://201.23.4.76:8078. For more details, contact our Support Center. To use a public DDNS called ‘DynDNS’ or ‘no-IP’, refer to the detailed information on how to use the service.

Before actually configuring the IP Camera, determine settings to be applied. Record those settings to be used to configure your IP Camera for reference. When configuring your IP Camera, treat the IP Camera as another PC on your network. You will assign it to several addresses and other TCP/IP properties to match your current network. Current TCP/IP Settings IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway Primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server (Option) Dynamic i If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was responsible for the setup and installation of your Internet connection, go to step 2. i If you are not using a router on your network, your ‘Current TCP/IP Settings’ (from the previous section) and ‘Assigned IP Addresses from My ISP’ will be exactly the same. 2 You must determine whether the IP address is STATIC or DYNAMIC. Contact your ISP to get a STATIC IP address for the camera. 3 Configure your IP Camera’s TCP/IP settings for network connectivity by selecting Setup from the main interface and selecting TCP/IP located on the left of the setup screen. 5 The following descriptions are several basic network scenarios. Determine which scenario describes your network. If your network does not match one of the scenarios below and you are unsure how to setup your IP camera, contact your network administrator. the ISP has access to the devices. Before you begin, locate any information and settings received from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may need to refer to these IP addresses at a later time during the configuration. Static If prompted for ID and password, use ‘admin’ for both entries. The default web port number is 80. If port 80 is blocked by the ISP, use a value between 1025 ~ 60000. If TCP port 80 is blocked, contact your ISP. i You cannot control the rectangular gray areas and only This step-by-step tutorial will teach what IP addresses and network configurations should be assigned based on the network scenario. 1 4 74 Network Setup - Setup Case A, B Case A: Dynamic IP + Personal Router [Most SOHO] Configure your IP Camera’s TCP/IP properties: Camera 1 Network Type: STATIC (even though you have Dynamic IP from your ISP, use STATIC on the IP camera). 2 Internet Address: A private IP address such as 192.168.0.200 (example) i You need to assign an IP address to the IP Camera just PC as you do with PC.
