User’s Manual Do not install 2 devices with the same frequency in the same environment. Otherwise, the Radar might not work properly.
User’s Manual Product Introduction Overview Aiming at traffic applications, the Radar adopts brand-new software and hardware technologies to measure the distance, speed, angle and range of multiple targets. Based on the measured information, the Radar reports accurate trigger signals to the camera. With FMCW and MIMO technologies, the Radar realizes faster and more accurate measurement of distance, speed and angle.
User’s Manual Radar Installation Installation Requirements Make sure that the installation environment is free of blockage and electromagnetic interference. Do not install 2 devices that share the same frequency (or same model) at one place. Avoid metal reflective objects, for example, advertising board, in the FoV of the Radar. ...

User’s Manual Software Configuration You can configure and adjust the parameters of the Radar by using the attached software. Starting the Software Step 1 Double-click "Multiple_Target_Radar_Setting_Tool.exe" to start the software. On the main interface of the software, click Search at the lower-left corner to search for Step 2 radars on the same network segment as the software.

User’s Manual Setting Radar Parameters You can set the parameters of the Radar through the software. General operations: Click Read to get the current parameter value. Change the value and click Write, then the value you set will be synced to the Radar. ...
User’s Manual There is no need to set the lane direction again under the lane parameter when setting Dir to Come or Go. You need to set the lane direction again under the lane parameter when setting Dir to ...
User’s Manual The angle alignment data can be affected by traffic flow and vehicle track. Low traffic flow or too many vehicles changing lanes can impact the result. Angle alignment reading is mainly used in situations where the Radar is installed on the road ...
User’s Manual Parameter Description Under the coordinate system of the Radar, the coordinates of the left/right lane line. XL(m)/XR(m) Negative value means the lane line is on the left side of the Radar and positive value indicates the lane line is on the right. Detection distance.
User’s Manual Radar Debugging This section introduces detailed methods for debugging the Radar. Calibrating Azimuth 5.1.1 Calibrating Azimuth Automatically Automatic calibration requires busy traffic flow, simple road condition and center-mounted radar. Make sure that the Radar software is in default status (Workmode is Normal). Step 1 Set the Height and the Elevation angle according to the actual installation, and set the Azimuth angle to 0.
User’s Manual Figure 5-2 Track after calibration 5.1.2 Calibrating Azimuth Manually Set Workmode to Debug, and then click Write. Step 1 Select Freeze at the lower-right corner when the traffic flow is light (only one vehicle Step 2 traveling straightly is best), and then draw a perpendicular triangle which contains the included angle Q, as shown in the following figure (the green triangle).
Page 23
User’s Manual d2 = 55 m Q = arctan (d1/d2) ≈ 4° You can also calculate a rough value of the included angle, cancel selecting Freeze, and adjust the vehicle track repeatedly until it is in parallel with the lane line. Copy the value of Q to azimuth, and then click Write.
User’s Manual Figure 5-5 Cancel freeze Configuring Lane Location Step 1 Set the number of lanes and enter lane width according to the actual site (for example 4 lanes and lane width is 3.6 m). Step 2 Enable Group. Figure 5-6 Configure lane Step 3 Select Freeze when all 4 lanes have vehicles traveling on them.
Page 25
User’s Manual Figure 5-7 Adjust lanes Step 4 Adjust the lane coordinates when the vehicle tracks are not in the right lane. next to XL value of the first lane to adjust all 4 lanes while Group is enabled. For Click example, you need to reduce the XL value of the first lane to move the lanes left until vehicle tracks are inside the right lane (from–7.2 m to–10 m).
User’s Manual Changing Status Step 1 Change Workmode from Debug to Normal after all debugging. Step 2 Click Write. After successful configuration, the Radar reports to the camera when vehicles that meet the set requirements pass by.
User’s Manual Program Update You can check the current firmware version and select update package to update. Step 1 Click Update. You can get the current version information through clicking Read. Different radar firmwares report different triggering messages, which allows you to distinguish whether the firmware is burned right based on the version information.
User’s Manual Web Configuration Connect the Radar to the camera through RS-485, and then you can configure the Radar to trigger capture and measure speed. Refer to the user's manual of the camera for detailed configuration. Web configurations introduced in this section are mainly for ANPR events, and you can take ...
User’s Manual Triggering Capture by the Radar You can configure the Radar to trigger capture of the camera, and measure speed at the same time. Step 1 Log in to the camera web client. Step 2 Select Setting > Event > ANPR Snap > Illegal Capture > Rule Config. Figure 7-3 Rule configuration Select ANPR from Event Type, and set other parameters as needed.
User’s Manual Configuring Speed Measurement by the Radar The Radar can be configured to measure vehicle speed and overlay the speed information onto the snapshots captured by the camera.
