Contents of the manual
The range of RY series cameras is a range of IP POE cameras for legible registration of license
plates. These cameras are designed to allow the recording of license plates of vehicles in slow or
fast motion, up to 180 km / h. They can operate in any light condition thanks to the built-in IR
illuminators and special glare suppression systems.
This manual explains how to connect the camera, how to make basic adjustments and how to
configure the parameters for network connection.
ATTENTION - This manual refers toRY cameras with internal monitor for configuration. For
older models refer to the relevant manuals.

Installation
CONNECTIONS
All RY series cameras they have 2 connectors: a mains socket and a 12VDC power plug
12VDC NETWORK
RJ45 NETWORK PORT - RJ45 FEMALE connector to connect the LAN network. This connector
connects to the network, for example to a port on a switch or router, using a straight-through
network cable. The camera supports POE power so if your switch supplies POE power, the
camera will receive power along the network cable and requires no other connections.
12VDC - Plug to connect a 220VAC / 12VDC power supply (not included). This plug is used if
you connect the camera to a network switch that does not supply POE power. If, on the other
hand, the camera receives POE power from the network cable, this connector will be unused.
INTERNAL BOARD
1 - MicroSD card slot for local recording
2 - Reset button
3 - LCD monitor
4 - Push-button panel
5 - Alarm relay output OUT
MOUNTING THE CAMERA

The cameras are equipped with a bracket for wall mounting made to allow the passage of
cables inside it. The bracket is usually mounted at the cable exit. The fixing base has 4 holes
for wall fixing with plugs. The case is watertight and can be installed outdoors without
protection.
POSITIONING THE CAMERA
The positioning of the camera is very important for a good performance of the license plate
reading.
The optimal recording of the license plate is carried out at a maximum distance of 30 m.
depending on the lens setting. The first thing to check is therefore that the distance as the crow
flies (not walkable on the ground) between the camera and the point where the vehicle will be
does not exceed this distance, otherwise the LED lighting will not be effective.
The second thing to consider is to position the camera so that the light from the headlights is not
directed directly at the camera.
The optimal angle with respect to the direction of travel of the vehicles is about 15 ° in the
horizontal plane and about 30 ° in the vertical plane.
It is advisable to install the camera in a raised position with respect to the road surface: the best
results can be obtained from 3 to 8 meters.
Having satisfied the 3 previous points, when orienting the camera, it is necessary to ensure that
the license plate remains in the camera's field of vision for as long as possible.
The best reading is achieved by framing a single lane, however it is possible to shoot up to 3 lanes
with a satisfactory reading. The camera works indifferently by framing the rear or front license
plates.
BRIGHTNESS SENSOR

The camera is equipped with a CDS sensor that allows to detect the ambient brightness and is
placed on the back of the camera to avoid incorrect detections due to car headlights. The sensor
is located in the rear cable gland of the housing.
It is absolutely necessary to avoid that light sources distort the detection of this sensor, because
in this case the camera will not work correctly at night. Above all, it is necessary to avoid the
presence of lighting headlights in the vicinity of the camera that would prevent the LEDs from
turning on.
For proper operation, make sure that the front LEDs of the camera light up at night.

Network configuration
After connecting the camera to the network and supplying power via POE or external power
supply, it is necessary to configure the network parameters in order to make the cameras
accessible from a computer. The cameras are supplied with factory address 192.168.1.109
User name: admin
Password: admin
SEARCHTOOL SOFTWARE
To assign the correct IP address to the camera, use the SEARCHTOOL configuration software
which can be downloaded from our website in the SOFTWARE | IP CAMERAS | RY SERIES.
The function of this software is to detect the presence of the camera on the network,
whatever its address, and to allow the camera address to be changed in order to be
consistent with the local network. In fact, remember that for the camera to be visible to the
other PCs on the network, the first 3 parts of the IP address must be the same as the other
PCs on the network and the subnet mask must also be the same. It is advisable to connect
one camera to the network at a time and insert new ones only after having configured the
previous ones.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Before proceeding, you need to get some information from your network administrator
about the IP address management used in your network. It is necessary to know an IP
address that can be assigned to the camera that is not the same as any other device already
present on the network. If you are unsure about how your network works, you can use some
commands in the DOS PROMPT.
On a networked PC, launch a DOS window available in the windows accessory programs.
Type IPCONFIG at the command prompt and press ENTER. The TCP / IP parameters will
appear. The second line is the IP address assigned to your computer.

In the example above, the address of the PC you are working on is 192.168.2.3 and the
subnet mask used is the classic 255.255.255.0. You can therefore assign an address of your
choice to the camera, such as 192.168.2.XXX, where XXX stands for a number between 0
and 255.
It is important to choose an address that is not already used by other network equipment.
To verify that the chosen address is free, try to perform a PING from the same DOS window
by typing PING followed by a space and the IP you wish to assign to the camera. If there is
no device corresponding to that address, you will receive 4 REQUEST TIME OUT as in the
following example:
All cameras support automatic IP address assignment by a DHCP server. However, this mode
is not recommended as in case of network failure or equipment restart it is possible that the
cameras change IP address making it necessary to reconfigure the NVR.

USE OF SEARCH TOOL TO ASSIGN THE IP ADDRESS
All RY series cameras are preset with the factory IP address: 192.168.1.109
After connecting the camera, you need to change the camera address to assign one that is
consistent with your network (first 3 parts of the address common to all equipment on the
network).
Proceed as follows:
1. Download and install the setup program on your PC.
2. Press NEXT to start the wizard. The program searches for the RY cameras present on the
network and lists the new camera in the table.

3. Click on the camera and the NEXT button to open the address configuration page
4. Now enter the correct network parameters you want to assign to the camera. The IP address
must be entered in the red box. It must have the first 3 digits the same as those used by
your network and not be used by other equipment, as we have explained extensively in the
previous chapter. The SUBNET MASK must be the one used by your network (usually

255.255.255.0). The gateway is the address of the network equipment that allows access to
the Internet (usually a router with the xxx.xxx.xxx. 1 address of the network). The factory
port used for communication is 80 and it is advisable not to change it.
5. You can edit the network parameters as you like by writing in the boxes. In the USER
PASSWORD boxes you must enter the access credentials of the camera which are factory
default

6. Press NEXT to transfer the configuration to the camera.
7. Are you done. Now the camera has the right configuration to communicate with your
network. If you have other cameras, connect them one at a time and assign different
addresses to each of them.
