Page 12: Camera Installation And Adjustment
CAMERA INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT iZero must be installed on a fixed surface. In order to make the installation easier, a “support” function may be activated from the camera menu, which will help the installer to keep within the set camera tilt adjustment, character height and focusing limits. Installation side Vertical capture angle Also make sure that the number plates are not captured at angles exceeding:... - Page 13 Make sure that the selected installation position actually allows to capture the information from transiting vehicles whilst keeping within the optimum values recommended by Selea. We recommended that preliminary capture tests are carried out from the selected position. Opening the camera Unscrew the two lateral screws on the cover and lift it.
- Page 14 Floor installation Pass the cables inside the camera and block them using the appropriate sponge inside. Drill the floor with a drill through the four holes in the bracket. Before finally fixing the camera to the ground, you must check that the orientation of the lens points in the best reading direction.
-
Page 15: Optical Assembly Adjustment
OPTICAL ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT Do this only if strictly necessary and only after consulting Selea. iZero is equipped with a fixed focus lens, therefore it is not possible to adjust the ZOOM and IRIS (or diaphragm). The camera is already pre-calibrated to ensure that the number plate is in focus at a distance of about 4 meters. However, you can adjust the focus simply by turning the lens clockwise or counterclockwise as required. -
Page 16: Camera Connection
CAMERA CONNECTION On the back of the cameras are several ports for different connections. NETWORK: 10/100Mb auto-sensing connection port. connector for the connection of input and output signals. connector for Wiegnad, RS485 or RS232 connection and power supply. For tilt movement (see chapter PTZ) Warning: when the Wiegand option is installed, the RS485 or RS232 ports cannot be connected. -
Page 17: Electronic Card Internal Connection
Slightly lower the front enclosure. Insert the male connector of the RJ45 Ethernet network cable into the appropriate female connector located on the camera's electrical board. Return the front enclosure to the closed position. Tighten the two screws located on the top of the camera. -
Page 18: Recommendations For Better Installation
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BETTER INSTALLATION The following suggestions have been compiled based on feedback from our installers, who have experienced issues similar to those that you may experience. Following these suggestions can make calibration much easier, helping you to obtain the best from your camera. - Page 19 In case of accesses requiring front number plate reading, channel the vehicles and capture number plates when vehicles are still. Avoid positioning the camera much before the gate so that the number plate is captured while the vehicle is moving, allowing the gate to open when the car reaches the gate position.

MEMORY MENU MicroSD memory inside iZero: specifically, it makes As previously indicated, it can be used to access information stored in the it possible to display and upload/download snapshots and lists. All the data are sorted into folders: the main folder is called STORAGE. Sub-folders will be named based on the capture DATE. Further level sub-folders will also be created based on the capture TIME. -
Page 24: Setup Menu
SETUP MENU As previously discussed, this menu gives the possibility of customising iZero. This menu includes many functions and sub- functions, which may be available or not based on the needs of the user. Below is an explanation of all the menu items, and the various functions. We remind that all changes must be confirmed using the “Save parameters”... -
Page 25: Gps Coordinates
GPS coordinates To assign the geographical coordinates for the installation: the snapshots will include the geographical details of the captured position. In the “latitude” and “longitude” fields enter the values of the GPS coordinates in decimal format (e.g. 44.9403428 and 10.4814643). www.selea.com 25 / 51... -
Page 26: Network
NETWORK General It can be used to change/set the camera network configuration. Assigning parameters for the configuration of the camera within the network; Selea discourages from using the DHCP method if the product must interact with CPS or other software whose addressing is indeed based on the assigned IP. - Page 27 Advanced - Certificates From here it is possible to insert an SSL certificate to guarantee an encrypted and protected connection between camera and client. Allows you to automatically generate a self-signed certificate guaranteeing a secure connection to the camera. Allows you to download the installed certificate which can be used to configure a client to accept the connection only from this server.

Page 28: Number Plate Reading
NUMBER PLATE READING General Here you can adapt the operation of the OCR on board of the camera to your specific needs, taking however into account that the default settings are those that Selea considers the most appropriate in most situations. With the “flag”... - Page 29 Standard: the snapshot is classed as “UNREAD” Advanced: the snapshot is classed as “unread_fake” as the text detected cannot be part of number plate. Disabled: the reading is not discarded from the processing and anything recognised as text will be classed as a possible number plate.
-
Page 30: Display
Display It groups those number plate reading parameters dealing with how the number plates will be presented to the observer. This functions facilitates the calibration of the optical assembly by inserting near the read number plate the height in pixels of the character and the focusing at the furthest point of the capture. -
Page 31: Context
Context it gives the possibility of configuring the acquisition of snapshots from additional cameras. If your ANPR has a “double eye” function (integrated colour context camera), there could be two attached contextual images, indicating here the presence of a camera that captures the scene from a different point of view. -
Page 32: Processing Area
Processing area It gives the possibility of isolating those parts of the video recording that could interfere with the correct identification of the number plates. Some examples: screening the lane opposite the capture lane, to avoid the reading of unwanted number plates, removing rest areas from the field of view, preventing the algorithm from continuously searching for number plates from... -
Page 33: Country
Country It allows to indicate the number plates of which countries must be recognised by the camera. The list includes all the countries of the EU area and some countries outside the EU (Florida), as well as some special types, such as ADR tables and container ILU-BIC codes. -
Page 34: Cps
One of the most important new features of iZero, giving the possibility of carrying out advanced checks on the number plate immediately after capture. Survey service It is possible to enter the address of a CPS service connected to remote databases (Transport or Home Offices, etc...) in order to complete the captured snapshot with information regarding the status of the read number plate. -
Page 35: Image Control
IMAGE CONTROL All the iZero models allow the superimposition of current information and camera name. The choice can be made for the number plate sensor. To enable the information to be displayed, the relevant box must be flagged. Furthermore, using the drop-down menu, it is possible to select the position where the information must appear with respect to the captured image. -
Page 36: Compression Parameters
COMPRESSION PARAMETERS Video iZero manages 2 different streaming video profiles, which can be independently configured. The first profile refers to the video stream captured by the built-in high speed sensor, the second one still to the number plate sensor but configured differently. The parameters that can be changed are the same for each profile, although their values will depend on the actual profile. -
Page 37: Security
SECURITY General The remote access block for some functions is enabled/disabled. Users Camera viewing access credentials may be set with both Administrator and simple User authority. Three user alternatives are available: Disabled: the user cannot access the camera. User: the user can access and view the camera, but not change parameters. -
Page 38: Event Management
EVENT MANAGEMENT “Events” are physical or software situations foreseen or planned by the user, which trigger iZero to respond with an action that can be physical (activation of an output), software based (e.g. the forwarding of a notification), or both. Example: Activates Output... -
Page 39: Integrated I/O
Integrated I/O It can be used to configure the behaviour of the two digital inputs of iZero, meaning which electric variation must be detected to generate a reason for an event. It is possible to decide if the event must start on completion of the variation (level) or while the variation is being performed (front). -
Page 40: Sensors
SENSORS General From here it is possible to select the update time of the values read by the sensors connected to the camera. Air quality (optional) Allows you to enable the air quality sensor, if installed on the camera. Shows the state of the sensor and the PM10 PM2.5 (µg/m3) values detected on the last reading. -
Page 41: Notification Services
NOTIFICATION SERVICES It can be used to configure communication channels that will later be used in “actions” (such as the forwarding of mails, the FTP user, etc.). These channels are generally employed to send notifications. It is also possible to set the characteristics of such notifications. -
Page 42: Ip Notification
“Keep the command connection active”: it prevents the FTP server from terminating the connection after the snapshot has been received, asking that the login initially completed by the camera is kept active, so that less operations may be required at the next forwarding. This function is fully supported by Selea CPS (with several other FTP servers the communication will be interrupted after some time). -
Page 43: Pos/Ip Notification
POS/IP notification This is a data and/or image transmission system (based on the placeholders used as models) compatible with several types of third-party VMS software, such as Milestone or Avigilon. It can be customised by the customer using the own management software based on communication requirements. -
Page 44: Memory
MEMORY General This is a graphic and intuitive representation of the memory available for snapshots, lists etc. Delete The “Delete” sub-page can be used to set for how many days the saved information must be kept. All the saved information stored for a number of days exceeding the set limit will be deleted. -
