DESCRIPTION The REG-X license plate capture camera unit consists of one IR-sensitive monochrome camera and one integrated panel of Infrared LEDs. The license plate capture camera produces optimum license plate images during day and night settings in all-weather conditions. The camera has technology that helps block out unwanted light such as headlamps or sunlight, thus ensuring no bloomed-out or washed-out images of the license plates.
UNPACKING Care should be taken when unpacking the shipped unit. Check the parts list and confirm all items have been located. Inspect the equipment thoroughly to ensure nothing was damaged in transit. Contact BOSCH Service Center if a problem is noted, see the rear page of this booklet for contact numbers.
INITIAL PREPARATIONS • Determine the operating voltage at the installation site. The camera‘s Voltage Regulator Board accepts both 12-24VDC and VAC input without change to internal connections. See Section 2, Input Power/Video Output Connections. • Determine the optimum location for the camera. See Section 3, Mounting Specification. • All cameras have been tested prior to shipment.
1. MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS – REG X (See Section 6 - General Specifications, for more information) Front View Side View Bottom View Showing mounting holes *Optional mounting kit is available to mount the camera onto an electrical box; Part Number: WZMB.
2. INPUT POWER / VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The camera incorporates an electrically isolated power board for safe and easy 12 to 24 VDC/VAC operation. Note: Input voltage is 12VDC to 24VDC for DC input. The AC input range is 12VAC to 24VAC.
3. MOUNTING SPECIFICATION Caution: Install with appropriate screws to suit mounting surface. Select a suitable location protected from accidental damage, and tampering. Mounting location must not expose the REG-X camera to environmental conditions exceeding the camera’s specification. See page 20. Caution: Ensure the selected location is protected from falling objects, contact with moving objects, and accidental interference from personnel. Please follow all applicable building regulatory codes.
The REG-X units have a horizontal field of view of about 6ft – 8ft (1.8m – 2.4m) at the specified capture range distance for the REG-X as shown on Figure 3 below. Since most vehicles have license plates mounted in the center of the front or back and the normal width for a standard traffic lane in a controlled parking or access lane is 8ft to 10ft (2.4m – 3.0m) this ensures that the license plate is in view whatever the position of the vehicle within the lane.
The maximum angle of the camera to the car is 40º in combination of both horizontal and vertical angles. This limits the amount of skew of the letters on the number plate. If the letters are skewed too much the license plate will be difficult to recognize.
Range Figure 5 - Maximum Horizontal Angle If the maximum range is exceeded the letters will become smaller and be more difficult to read. At the max range the width of the number plate covers approximately 12% of the width of the screen. Note: The Range is the distance from the camera to the license plate. Working below max range gives larger number plates and hence more accurate recognition but less lane area to be covered. If too close, the license plate could disappear from the Field-of-View.
4. CAMERA ADJUSTMENT Warning! Do not pan or twist beyond 360° Do not tilt beyond 90° Do not apply excessive force when adjusting Figure 6 - Adjustment Set Screws 1) Mount and secure the REG-X unit according to specification (see Section 3). 2) Using the provided hex key, loosen all three set screws on bracket as shown in Fig 6. 3) Adjust the camera position to properly level the license plate image as seen on the monitor. 4) Tighten all the set screws.
5. TROU PROBLEM No Video BLESHOOTING GUIDE POSSIBLE CAUSE LIKELY SOLUTION 1. Power Supply Connection Check the input power connections at the terminal block, ensuring no wires are loose. Voltage Range The supply range is: 12 - 24VDC OR 12 – 24VAC. Measure the input voltage to the camera. 2. Video Connections Determine if the wiring polarity at the “Video Connector” terminal block is correct. Check BNC connector. If still no video, connect the camera directly to the monitor. Check the video signal.
problem is with the interconnections. If still no video, contact BOSCH Service Center. See rear page of this manual for contact information. Horizontal Scan Lines, Rolling Up or Down Negative, scrambled, or faded image Ground Looping on video cable Low voltage 18 Check the coax cable shield is not touching “ground”, e.g. at the couplings. An electrically isolated circuit board or isolation transformer may be required. Check voltage at input power cable. Must be >12VDC/VAC.
Safety and Precaution “Prolonged direct viewing of the REG-X camera product at any distance does not pose a hazard to the retina or cornea.” When mounting and installing the REG-X camera, make sure proper safety equipment and procedures are used and practiced. This is to ensure the camera installation will not potentially cause any harm to people around the area and also the installer will be safe while performing the installation. Only qualified personnel shall install Bosch Security System, Inc. product.
