Static LPR Checklist - Tattile

This page describes the configuration of a Static (Vega Model) camera to work with the OPS-COM system.

 

System

Network Settings

Obtain the device IP address and other network details from your IT department. 
Configure the camera to be recognized as a standard network device.


Changes on this panel will reboot the device.

The NetBios Name is the name of the device on your network.  Choose a descriptive name for the camera.

Spaces and other special characters are not supported. 

Required fields are:

  • IP Address
  • NetMask
  • Gateway
  • DNS Server (8.8.8.8 can be used)

Time Server (use your own or one of these)

  • 0.us.pool.ntp.org
  • 1.us.pool.ntp.org
  • 2.us.pool.ntp.org
  • 3.us.pool.ntp.org

System - Time Sync

Changes on this panel will reboot the device.

Plate Reader

General Settings

Configure the site address which should be  client_subdomain : CLIENT_ID  (no spaces)

Your subdomain is the first part of your OPS-COM.com web portal address. 

As an example, the demo Tomahawk University is located on the web at tomahawku.ops-com.com and the entry here would be  tomahawku:OC_TOMA

If you are unsure of the client_subdomain or CLIENT_ID please contact OPS-COM support


Frame Grabber Settings

Changes on this panel will reboot the device.

Iris Bounding Region

  • For faster plate reads you can adjust the capture area
  • Typically factory defaults to full frame
  • For PL8RDR, it is necessary to create padding around the capture area (minimum 30 pixels)
    • In this example we have modified the factory defaults by 10% all around 
  • Click on Show Iris Window to see the bounding box.

Camera Auto Iris (advanced)

Usually unnecessary to make changes in this advanced area.

As directed by OPS-COM support staff adjustments may be made to specific camera properties.
