ANPR Setup Checklist -Tattile
This page describes the initial set up of an ANPR Mobile Camera
Initial Setup
Wired | Wireless | Port |
|---|---|---|
192.168.0.21 | SSID: Anpr-###### | 1080 or |
Initial Access to the Camera
Yet another setup trick is to login to the device initially using WIFI.
The device will need to be plugged into a network hub that is connected to a DHCP server
change the wired IP to Obtain Automatically
later in the process we do this anyways
device will reboot
reconnect using WIFI and record the wired IP that was assigned to the device
generally a device will be assigned the same IP each time it boots
you should now be able to connect to the listed wired IP
disconnect your wifi connection
This is useful since often your computer will become confused about where to send packets. Using the wifi connection is good for configuration, but accessing other online resources may be problematic with the second connection. Once the wifi is disconnected all configuration can be performed through the wired IP.
Connecting to PL8RDR from tablet or camera
WIFI: pl8rdr.opscom / T0maha3k [10.42.0.1]
System - Network Settings
Changes on this panel will reboot the device.
This work is usually done by OPS-COM support.
Details are here to help those clients that are doing initial configuration themselves.
* connect wireless and setup wired connection first, then connection may be easier
device reboots numerous times during setup
DHCP server software: http://www.dhcpserver.de - (extract to C: )
setup computer with LAN 192.168.8.1 and use that for IP assignment
camera will connect to computer to obtain IP address
Hostname: Mobile-R | Mobile-L (that way we know which is the Right / Left camera)
System - Time Sync
Changes on this panel will reboot the device.
not terribly important as the PL8RDR records the time of the event not the values sent by the camera
Time Server (use your own or one of these)
Plate Reader - General Settings
should always be the CLIENT_ID (no spaces)
eg. OC_TOMA
NOTE: This graphic shows and old implementation. The text in this sample should be only: OC_LIONS
Plate Reader - Plate Reader
Changes on this panel will reboot the device.
create a buffer around the capture area
the listed settings are factory defaults (except Locator) and should work with minimal issues
for mobile bounding region should be set to a lower area since plates will rarely be at the top of the image
leave a gutter around the bounding area of at least 30 pixels
