Camera Placement
To capture the image of a license plate, the vehicle cannot be tr aveling more than 30 mph, and the camera
must be positioned within a specic range. Also, since some jurisdictions only require license plates to b e
displayed on the back of the vehicle (for inst ance, on motorcycles in most locations) the camera should b e
positioned to see them. The position of the cam era should meet the following four criteria:
Horizon tal distance: The camera must b e placed within 50 feet of the target license plate.

Step 1. Installing the camera
When installing the camera, the vide o and power drop cables can be routed through the mount ing
surface behind the mounting plate (most secure), or through cable guides on the side s of the mounting
plate.
1. Find the optimal position for the camera, obser ving the Camera Posi tion guidelines above.
2. Determine and acquire fasteners adequate to att ach the camera to the mounting sur face. The screws
and wall insert s are provided with your camera work well with many sur face types.

3. Apply the mounting template to the mounting surface. Mark the location of t he holes for the
fasteners.
4. Attach the camera to the mounting surface wi th 4 fasteners.
5. Connect the drop cable BNC conne ctor to a mating connector on a video extension cable. Connec t
the other end of the e xtension cable to a video recorder or monitor.
NOTE
Drop cable video and power connectors a re not waterproof.
6. Connect the c amera power drop cable to a power ex tension cable. The polarity of t he power drop
cable is shown in the f ollowing representation. An adapter f or a non-connectorized power source is
provided with the camera.
7. Connect the other end of the power e xtension cable to a 12 VDC power source. Verif y that an image
from the camera appears on the monitor.
Step 2. Camera setup
All setup adjustments are made on t he underside of the camera body.
8. While observing video from the
camera, loosen t he gimbal set screw
until the camera b ody can move freely.
9. Point the camera at the center of the
eld of view, then tighten the set
screw.

12. While viewing a license plate under the darkes t conditions, remove the cap on the underside of the
camera. Then:
a. Adjust the IR LED Intensity potentiometer to produce the best image for the normal distance
of the vehicle from t he camera. Increase the level for more distant vehicles.
b. Adjust the IR LED Working Time potentiome ter for IR use to begin at a specic light ing level.
For example, you can adjust this potent iometer to also use IR during bright conditions, such
as daylight.
c. Reinstall the cap.
