IIT Camera System Manual The concept of the IIT Camera is to exploit the retro-reflective properties of the vehicle license plates. A retro-reflective surface returns the incoming light in the same direction it comes from. The IIT camera is equipped with a number of emitting infrared diodes that are positioned evenly across the camera lens. The light is frequency modulated. A beamsplitter is mounted in front of the CCD for distribution of the incoming light to both the CCD and an array

IIT Camera System Manual Vehicles are detected from both driving directions (front or rear shots). The system will only work if the license plate is moving through the retro-reflective sensitive region of the picture area. Other parts of the vehicle being retro-reflective can cause generation of triggers. These parts can be the tail light or stickers of different kinds. Besides the special IIT functions, many of the I/O Board functionalities from VIS-CAM 300/350/400 are available. This

IIT Camera System Manual 2 Preparing for installation 2.1 Preparation for installation As mentioned in the previous section is it essential for the function of the IIT Camera that the license plate moves through the sensitive region when the vehicle passes the camera. 2.1.1 Over Lane Positioning Over lane camera mounting is always employed when the road width being monitored contains more than two lanes of traffic, when a convenient overhead is already in place, or when

IIT Camera System Manual Figure 6. Typical Over Lane Site Layout Plan The Light Sensor and Flash shown in Figure 6 are optional. If over lane mounting is not possible the camera can be mounted at the side of the road as close to the road as possible. 2.2 Performance of Trigger and Light Sensor function As mentioned in section 2.1.1 the performance of the camera is dependent on respecting installation parameters. These performance conditions have influence on both the trigger and th

IIT Camera System Manual 3.2 Installing the Camera The camera is mounted using the same VIS Mount as VIS-CAM Systems (300/350/400). Please refer to section 3.2 in the VIS-CAM System Installation manual for camera mount template and mounting instructions. 3.2.1 Opening the Camera Housing The rear plate can be removed by loosening the two screws marked “1” below. Once they are loose they can be turned by fingers. The screws are retained by springs. When the rear plate is removed the

IIT Camera System Manual 3.2.2 Attaching the Safety Tether A coated wire safety tether is provided for use in attaching the removable top lid to the gantry or pole. The tether has a loop at each end. First you should loop the tether around the gantry and hook one loop through the other as shown in figure A below. Figure A Next attach the tether to the lid using the pin on the right rear and the provided hardware as shown in figure B. Figure B Installation 19

IIT Camera System Manual 3.2.3 Cable Connections The cable connections are the same as for VIS-CAM Systems (300/350/400) but the cable entry is different as shown in the picture below. Figure 9. IIT Camera Cable Entry It is very important that the outer cable shield is connected to the rear plate at the cable entry and that the shield around the Ethernet pairs are run to the orange terminal block as shown in the picture.
