DESCRIPTION

The REG-X license plate capture camera unit consists of
one IR-sensitive monochrome camera and one integrated
panel of Infrared LEDs. The license plate capture camera
produces optimum license plate images during day and
night settings in all-weather conditions. The camera has
technology that helps block out unwanted light such as
headlamps or sunlight, thus ensuring no bloomed-out or
washed-out images of the license plates.

The REG-X camera you have purchased is designed and
configured to capture images of license plates under a
wide range of ambient light and weather conditions.

The all-weather housing with a covert acrylic window
contains all the electronics. Low voltage operation, low
power consumption, LED illuminator, and solid-state CCD
technology make this camera very reliable and efficient.
A voltage regulator circuit allows for DC or AC operation
between 12 and 24 VAC/VDC.
