Page 11: Introduction
EN Camera Series 1. Operation Manual Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Scope of this Manual This manual covers the operation of the following traffic control cameras: the TS-2030EN, TSC- 2030EN, TS-2076EN, TSC-2076EN, TS-1327EN, and TSC-1327EN. The remainder of this manual will use the term “EN camera”... - Page 12 EN Camera Series Typical applications include Automatic Number Plate Reader (ANPR/ LPR), vehicle fingerprints (vehicle matching technology), optical character recognition (OCR), and region-of-interest extraction (ROI), as used in the market for ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). The EN camera supports external event triggering, dynamic light sensor, and provides the best quality and sensitivity images for ITS applications.

EN Camera Series 3.1.4 Image Properties You can monitor the image properties of captured images, whether it’s “Live,” “Snap,” or “Trigger - Sniffing” mode. On the Video Window menu, select “Image Properties” under “View.” You can also use the EN setup software to monitor the image properties of saved images and FTP images. Tutorial... -
Page 21: Image Transfer
EN Camera Series 3.2 Image Transfer 3.2.1 FTP Image Transfer To transfer images via FTP, first make sure to set up the FTP server properly. Please check the following items: The username/password or anonymous login must be set for FTP server. Set the permission of the read/write/create directory. - Page 22 EN Camera Series In the camera’s “Properties” window, set up the light sensor’s IP address and Port number. These numbers must be consistent with Moxa’s setting. You can connect up to two light sensors. If two IP addresses and port numbers are identical, then the EN camera tries to connect only a single light sensor.

Page 23: Flash Nighttime Light Control
EN Camera Series 3.3.2 Flash Nighttime Light Control The strobe and continuous nighttime light can be manually turned on and off. Set “Flash Auto/Manual” and “Night light Control” registers to Manual OFF or ON. Generate an Ethernet trigger or input TTL trigger to see Flash. The “Live” or “Snap” button does not generate Flash, because they are independent from normal trigger operation. -
Page 24: Time Synchronization
EN Camera Series 3.4 Time Synchronization The EN camera supports NTP (network time protocol) synchronization. If you disable NTP by clearing the “NTP Client Control” register, then the internal clock will drift approximately 1.5 seconds per day. To reset the clock, set the “Real Time Clock” register to your current local time. If you decide to take advantage of the NTP feature, make sure to set up the NTP server, preferably with GPS input. -
Page 25: Dhcp Client
If you know the current IP address of the camera, you can telnet directly to the EN camera. Login as User name = root, Password = JAI PULNiX. If you want to assign a new IP address temporarily, you can use the “ifconfig” utility. If you want to assign a new IP address permanently, you can use the “test_libcamera”... -
Page 26: Maintenance
EN Camera Series 3.6 Maintenance 3.6.1 Debug Counters For debugging purposes, some status registers are available as debug counters. Detailed information for each debugging counter is included in the LC-EN Interface document. This tutorial covers the following debug counters. • Trigger Filter Noise count = number of hardware TTL triggers that failed trigger noise filter. -
Page 27: Firmware Upgrade
EN Camera Series If you set the POST trigger filter to 10ms but the TTL trigger has only 9ms stable POST condition, then the “POST Filter Noise count” must be incremented. Unlike PRE trigger, “VINIT count” is also incremented, because trigger pulse is sent to CCD anyway before finishing validation of POST condition. -
Page 28: Rs-232 Powerpc Debug Port
EN Camera Series 3.6.3 RS-232 PowerPC Debug Port If you have the debug RS-232 serial/power cable, you can debug EN cameras over the serial port. This is useful when Ethernet is not available. In this tutorial, we suppose we have accidentally assigned an invalid IP address to the EN camera, and now we cannot communicate with the EN camera over Ethernet. - Page 29 EN Camera Series After typing the “/” key, you should see the following monitor menu. Enter “3” to select “Change IP addresses” mode. Enter “1” to select Ethernet interface 1. Enter “1” again to select “Change local address. Enter the new IP address. ”...
- Page 30 EN Camera Series Enter the command “ifconfig” to see if the network is up and running. Eth0 is the network interface of the EN camera. In the above example, the EN’s network is set to the following: IP address = 10.0.0.65. Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0. If eth0 is not running or if you want to change to a different IP address, you can set the temporary network setting just to enable a FTP, TELNET, or Ethernet connection Enter the command “ifconfig eth0 <NEW IP ADDRESS>...
