Output for controlling an external flash is provided if total vehicle illumination is required. The IIT camera is based on the standard JAI Traffic Solutions EN camera platform and includes a variety of picture formats: 1392 (H) x 1040 (V)
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.
Page 14
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.
IIT Camera System Manual 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...
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.

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”...
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.
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.

IIT Camera System Manual 3.4 Flash The flash is optionally used for vehicle illumination at night. The electrical control signal connection to the IIT camera is from X1 on the IIT I/O Board. The signals are: Figure 13. IIT I/O Board Flash Connector X1 signals The electrical signals are the same as the VIS-CAM Systems (350/400) flash connector and the connections to the flash is as described in section 3.4 of the VIS-CAM System Installation manual.
System Set-Up The proper way of deploying the camera, as described in section 4 of the VIS-CAM System Installation manual, also applies to the IIT Camera. The Ethernet connection to the setup PC is accessed by removing the cable between the EN Camera and the IIT I/O Board and connecting a RJ45 patch cable between the PC and the EN Camera.

IIT Camera System Manual For more details on FTP image transfer, see section 3.2 of User’s Guide EN Camera Series Caution: ENSetup Capture Mode and FTP Transfer Mode are exclusive to each other. Both modes should not be enabled simultaneously in the camera. 4.4 Setting the IIT I/O Board internal trigger parameters A number of variables can be setup in the IIT I/O Board for optimizing performance.
IIT Camera System Manual Figure 30. IIT I/O Board communication The DAC values in commands C to J are set to 32 from the factory and it is normally not necessary to change these. The TTL Trigger pulse width is set by command A to a value between 01 and FF (255d) times 0.1 ms.
