Introduction 13 IIT Camera System Manual The concept of the IIT Camera is to exploit the retro-reflective properties of t he vehicle license plates. A retro-reflective s urface returns the incomi ng light in the same dire ction it comes fr om. The IIT camera is equippe d with a number of emitting infrared di odes that are positioned e venly across [...]

IIT Camera System Manual 14 Introduction Vehicles are detected from both driving directions (front or rear shot s). The system will only work if the license plate is moving through the retro- reflective sensitive region of the picture area. Other parts of the vehicle being retro-reflective can cause generation of triggers. These parts can be the ta[...]

Installation Preparation 15 IIT Camera System Manual 2 Preparing for installation 2.1 Preparation for installation As mentioned in the previous sect ion is it essential for the function of the I IT Camera that the license plate moves through the sensitive re gion when the vehicle passes the camera. 2.1.1 Over Lane Positioning Over lane camera mount[...]
