Decree no. 9 April 2008, n. 81 "Consolidated text on health and safety at work" and technical standard UNI ISO 11228. In any case and following the failure to comply with the above, Carlo Gavazzi declines all responsibility for any damage caused to persons and / or property during or following the installation of the sensors.
Computer with Windows 10 or later A PC is required to configure the SBPVBE videobox. TeamViewer/Anydesk must be installed Internet access The SBPVBE must have Internet access. If a LAN network is not available, a 4G/LTE router must be used Videobox – User manual...
General description The SBPVBE videobox is part of the Carpark system, which contains other variants of sensors, controllers and displays. We briefly describe the SBPVBE videobox parts: Part Description Plug connector for 12 VDC. Included AC power adapter specifications: Input...
Architecture The SBPVBE videobox uses IP cameras to detect cars parked in outdoor parking lot. A sophisticated algorithm converts the camera images into occupancy information: no sensitive data (car plate number, people’s faces, etc.) are either sent over the Internet or stored. This information will be sent to the cloud in real-time and the CPY Server gathers the information by means of the cloud.
System overview This manual describes the procedures to install the SBPVBE Car Park videobox and gives general instructions to properly place the IP cameras used to detect cars in the parking bays. Things to know Each SBPVBE videobox can handle a maximum of 8 IP cameras, therefore, the minimum number of videoboxes for covering an area is the number of IP cameras divided by 8.

Video resolution 2 (Minimum) / 4/ 8 Mpx They must be disabled before configuring the camera with the Pan / tilt / zoom SBPVBE algorithm Video data transmission LAN network through UTP/STP cable, better if PoE method 4G/LTE network (router is not included)
Positioning of the IP cameras The verification of the site where the IP cameras will be installed is a very important phase: the environmental and physical conditions must be evaluated to avoid detection problems. Calculation of the covered area The IP cameras must be positioned at a minimum height of 8 meters (recommended 10 meters) in order to achieve the best coverage.

Field of view calculator Camera’s manufacturers generally provide tools to calculate the field of view. The Field of View Calculator is a program for calculating the IP camera’s visible scene. Fill in the lens format and focal length and distance between lens and object, it will then work out the dimensions of the scene.

Distance and resolution of the IP camera The minimum resolution of the IP camera must be evaluated according to the spaces in the installation: the greater is the distance between the IP camera and the parking bays, the higher will be the IP camera resolution. The positioning is constrained by the camera resolution: a resolution of at least 50x50 pixel is needed to properly detect the car in the parking bay.

Example of positioning the IP camera Please follow the suggestion below, to define the position of the IP camera. The following examples show general cases of configurations to be adopted or avoided: Right mounting example Wrong mounting examples N.B. In case of other types of parking facilities or in case of doubts about the positioning of the IP cameras, please contact us.

Numbering the parking bays Arrange a scaled map of the parking area and number every parking bay with an individual number. The total number of parking bays is Start the parking bays numbering with less than 100 between 100 and 1000 1001 higher than 1000 10001...
Network design The IP cameras can be connected to the SBPVBE videobox by using network devices, such as: Device Description The SBPVBE are connected to the same LAN network by using Ethernet switches Ethernet switches. The SBPVBE are connected to the same LAN network by using W- LAN adapters.
Page 16
Calculation of the overall switching capacity The network devices, such as industrial switches or PoE switches, should be selected according to the switching capacity that is required by all the IP cameras that are used in the installation. The following table shows the bandwidth assessment for streams of different types and resolutions per used camera.

Things to know It is assumed that the IP cameras and the network equipment have already been installed and setup and are connected to the SBPVBE videobox(es). Further readings The installer can refer to the installation manual available in our Product Selection website:...
The method to install the SBPVBE videobox changes according to the location. The SBPVBE videobox is designed to be installed into a cabinet mounted on a wall or a pole. The installation can be executed on lamppost, roofs, towers, without visual disturbance, or even in historic centres or in the presence of high-value architectures.
