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.

3.2Determining 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°.

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.

3.4Preparing the Wiring
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.
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.
3.4.1Power 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.
3.4.2Video 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.
24 en | Installing the DINION captureDINION capture 5000/7000
3.5Making 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.
3.6Automatic 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 | 2012.01Installation ManualBosch Security Systems, Inc.
Page 25
DINION capture 5000/7000Installing the DINION capture | en25
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 captureDINION 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
Mode ID position as shown in Mode details and complete a
power cycle of the camera.
3.Locate the potentiometer on the right as shown below.
4.View the video output on a monitor.
5.Slowly turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise until the
mode ID switches from mode 1 (Normal) to mode 2

NOTICE!
Shutter can also be changed to adjust plate brightness. Shutter
is fixed at 1/5000 from the factory and should be changed only
by an experienced user. Changing the shutter speed affects
maximum capture speed of the vehicle and ambient rejection
ability.
The DINION capture normally provides an optimal picture for
capturing license plates without the need for further
adjustments. Advanced setup options are available for getting
the best results under special circumstances.
The DINION capture implements changes immediately so that
before and after settings are easily compared.
4.1Menus
4.1.1Top level menus
There are two upper level menus: a Main menu and an Install
menu. The menus have functions that can be selected directly
or submenus for more detailed set-up.
–To access the Main menu, press the menu/select button
(center) for less than 1 second. The Main menu appears on
the monitor. The Main menu allows you to select and setup the picture enhancement functions. If you are not happy
with your changes, you can always recall the default values
for the mode.
–The camera also has an Install menu in which the
installation settings can be set. To access the Install menu,
press the menu/select button (center) for longer than 2
seconds.
4.1.2Accessing Menu Keys
Five keys, located behind the rear panel of the license plate
camera and the overview camera, are used for navigating
through the menu system.

4.1.3Menu Navigation Keys
Five keys are used for navigating through menu system.
–Use the up or down keys to scroll through a menu.
–Use the left or right keys to move through options or to set
parameters.
–When in a menu, quickly double-press the menu/select key
to restore the selected item to its factory default.
–To close all menus at once hold down the menu/select key
until the menu display disappears or continually select the
Exit item.
Some menus automatically close after about two minutes; other
menus have to be closed manually.
4.2Pre-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.FullSun (Mode 2)
Reduced gain to provide properly exposed image during
bright conditions.
In the overview camera, mode names by default are called
Mode 1, Mode 2, etc.
4.3Day/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.

4.4Camera control communication (Bilinx)
The DINION capture is equipped with a coaxial communications
transceiver (also referred to as Bilinx). In combination with VPCFGSFT, 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.
Refer to Section 4.1 Menus, page 28, to access the Main menu.
