Standard Hardware
There are several pieces of gear that comprise the OPS-COM LPR system. A typical system includes the following items:
2-Tattile Mobile LPR Cameras with one connector cable per camera
1-PL8RDR Device 4G/LTE
1-4G/LTE Tablet
1-3” Bluetooth printer
1-RAM Universal No-Drill Tablet Vehicle Mount & Accessories
Each Mobile LPR camera will need a cable built to accommodate communication between the PL8RDR device and the camera.
Cables are best to be custom built in order to suit the logistics of what vehicle is being used and where the camera is located on the vehicle.
Note: It is best practice to have the proper amount of cable so no coiling or stretching of the cable is reacquired.
Standard Power Cable
Used to supply power to the camera. The camera will connect to the PL8RDR computer wirelessly.
Parts Required for Each Cable
BINDER M16 99-5672-19-08 series 423 connector (part code T18654)
Power cable - RED/BLACK cable 0.50 mm cut to the proper length to accommodate the distance from the cable to the power source
an inline fuse is suggested

Advanced Cable For Troubleshooting
The following diagram represents how the cable should be wired in an advanced setup where the camera communicates with the PL8RDR through a standard ethernet cable.
This is more likely to be used in troubleshooting rather than typical operation.
Parts Required for Each Cable
BINDER M16 99-5672-19-08 series 423 connector (part code T18654)
Ethernet CAT5 cable cut the the proper length to accommodate the distance from the PL8RDR to each Camera
Power cable - RED/BLACK cable 0.50 mm cut to the proper length to accommodate the distance from the cable to the power source
NOTE: CAT cable can supply power on unused pair
Checking Firmware updates.
You should always insure you have tre latest firmware installed.
For more information on checking and updating your firmware please see this article.
Signal Strength
There are two types of signal strength that can come into play. You may be using WIFI or you may be using LTE (cellular commnunication).
If you are a WIFI user you can test signal strenth with multiple applications that are typicall a free download.
For an example of a process thsat will test WIFI strength please see this article.
If you are a LTE user you can see the signal strength by looking at the device's status from the LPR Scanning screen.
By tapping on Status at the top right of the screen you will be presented with a list of items and their connection status.
Signal Strength will appear at the bottom of tgis list.
The closer to zero the better.

Adjusting the Camera's View
Depending on the application of your camera, whether it be fixed or mobile, there are adjustments that can be made to improve accuracy and speed of reads.Adjusting the angle, height and width of camera's read area can improve performance by simply defining the camera's sweet spot so to speak. For more information on adjusting the capture area please see this article
