# Tattile LPR Camera

# Powering a Tattile Mobile LPR Camera

### Standard Hardware

There are several pieces of gear that comprise the OPSCOM LPR system. A typical system includes the following items:

- 2-Tattile Mobile LPR Cameras with one connector cable per camera
- 1-PL8RDR Device 4G/LTE
- 1-4G/LTE Tablet
- 1-3” Bluetooth printer
- 1-RAM Universal No-Drill Tablet Vehicle Mount & Accessories

Each Mobile LPR camera will need a cable built to accommodate communication between the PL8RDR device and the camera.  
Cables are best to be custom built in order to suit the logistics of what vehicle is being used and where the camera is located on the vehicle.  
**Note:** *It is best practice to have the proper amount of cable so no coiling or stretching of the cable is required.*

### Standard Power Cable

Used to supply power to the camera. The camera will connect to the PL8RDR computer wirelessly.

**Parts Required for Each Cable**

- BINDER M16 99-5672-19-08 series 423 connector (part code T18654)
- Power cable - RED/BLACK cable 0.50 mm cut to the proper length to accommodate the distance from the cable to the power source
    
    
    - *an inline fuse is suggested*

*This is the front view; holding the connector by the wires and viewing the terminals.

### Advanced Cable For Troubleshooting

The following diagram represents how the cable should be wired in an advanced setup where the camera communicates with the PL8RDR through a standard ethernet cable.

This is more likely to be used in troubleshooting rather than typical operation.  
  
**Parts Required for Each Cable**

- BINDER M16 99-5672-19-08 series 423 connector (part code T18654)
- Ethernet CAT5 cable cut the proper length to accommodate the distance from the PL8RDR to each Camera
- Power cable - RED/BLACK cable 0.50 mm cut to the proper length to accommodate the distance from the cable to the power source
    
    
    - NOTE: CAT cable can supply power on unused pair

## Connect to the Camera

Now you can open a browser and enter the IP address of your camera in the go to field.

You will also need to follow the IP address with a port number. For mobile cameras the port number is 1080 therefore the URL would look like this:  
`http://[IPAddress][colon][port number]` as in the example below you can see the URL as `<strong>http://10.42.0.140:1080</strong>`

If you do not know the IP address of your camera see **How to Find the IP Address of your Camera** found below.

You will be prompted for a **Username** and **Password**.

<div class="table-wrap" id="bkmrk-username-password-su"><table class="wrapped confluenceTable tablesorter tablesorter-default" role="grid"><colgroup><col></col><col></col></colgroup><thead><tr class="tablesorter-headerRow" role="row"><th aria-disabled="false" aria-label="Username: No sort applied, activate to apply an ascending sort" aria-sort="none" class="confluenceTh tablesorter-header sortableHeader tablesorter-headerUnSorted" data-column="0" role="columnheader" scope="col" tabindex="0">Username</th><th aria-disabled="false" aria-label="Password: No sort applied, activate to apply an ascending sort" aria-sort="none" class="confluenceTh tablesorter-header sortableHeader tablesorter-headerUnSorted" data-column="1" role="columnheader" scope="col" tabindex="0">Password</th></tr></thead><tbody aria-live="polite" aria-relevant="all"><tr role="row"><td class="confluenceTd">superuser</td><td class="confluenceTd">superuser</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Naming Mobile Cameras

Under System → Network you can name the camera(s) appropriately.

- Mobile-L = Drivers side
- Mobile-R = Passenger side

## How to Find the IP Address of your Camera

On the handheld unit go to main menu and tap on **LPR Scanning**.

[![image.png](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/0gTimage.png)](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/0gTimage.png)

Once in the LPR screen tap on **Status** near the top right of the screen.

[![image.png](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/jPgimage.png)](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/jPgimage.png)

You will see a list of connected devices. The device **Type** should be **Tattile camera wifi.**

Please note that due to new cameras coming onto the market, your PL8RDR may list a camera as an unknown device.

[![image.png](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/5igimage.png)](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/5igimage.png)

In this case the cameras IP address was **10.42.0.140**. Enter the IP address for your device with port **:1080** into the browsers URL and hit **Enter**.

[![image.png](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/3Pwimage.png)](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/3Pwimage.png)

The below screen shot is taken after the cameras have read some plates.

Notice the "stats" entry which clearly lists the camera IP addresses.

Also note that sometimes the system is not able to determine which device is a camera.

# Connect to a Tattile Mobile Camera

## First Time Connection

Power up the camera and give it a few minutes to fully boot up.

At that point you will see the camera in your network connections list.  
Note the network name reflects the serial number of the camera In this case ANPR-2010011339  
Click connect to establish a connection between your computer and the camera's hotspot.

[![image.png](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/BZHimage.png)](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/BZHimage.png)

The standard IP address for the camera coming from the factory is set at 192.168.150.1  
You will also have to put the port number in your URL when trying to connect through your browser.  
  
Open a browser and enter the camera IP and port into the address bar. In this case it will be 192.168.150.1:1080 (Where 192.168.150.1 is the camera IP and 1080 is the port number)

You will be prompted to enter a user name and password.   
Username superuser  
Password superuser

You will then be directed to the Plate Reader Tab of the camera configuration.

[![image.png](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/BK8image.png)](https://opscom.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/BK8image.png)

There are Specific areas that you will need to configure.  
**On the Plate Reader tab you will edit:**

General Settings  
Event Actions Also known as TCP Events  
JPEG Image Header Configuration  
Plate Reader Settings

**On the System tab you will edit:**

Network Settings   
It is very important to edit the network settings properly and in a proper sequence. If for example you configure the camera to connect to the PL8RDR but forget to set it to assign an IP (DHCP) and save the changes. You will not be able to log in to the camera wirelessly.

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

<div class="columnLayout single" data-layout="single" id="bkmrk-change-the-wired-ip-"><div class="cell normal" data-type="normal"><div class="innerCell"><div class="confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-note conf-macro output-block" data-hasbody="true" data-macro-id="78407daf-3cba-42ee-b86d-1c45bd41965e" data-macro-name="note"><div class="confluence-information-macro-body">- 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

</div></div></div></div></div>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

- 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

# Updating Tattile Camera Firmware

## Justification for Firmware Updates

There are two purposes behind updating the firmware of the LPR camera. One would be to simply update the existing firmware. The other is changing the firmware based on your specific region. There is specific firmware tailored to the region in which you are using the camera. There would be firmware specific to the state of California and it's surrounding states that would be optimized for reading plates in those states as opposed to plates in Florida for example, Firmware updates allow you to update the entire system. This instruction applies to ANPR Mobile cameras.

## How to Update

Two updating methods are available:

1. **Upgrade firmware keeping current settings:** in this section, the update is carried out without changing the previously configured parameters.  
    Press the Browse button and select the update file from the PC file list. Once this file has been selected, press the Upload button and confirm the operation. When update completes, the User is asked to reboot the ANPR Mobile machine by pressing the Reset button displayed on screen.
2. **Upgrade firmware with default settings:** in this section, the upgrade is carried out by deleting all user-defined parameters and reloading the default settings of the new .BIN file just loaded using the Browse and Upload command sequence.  
    This procedure is the same as the one previously described.

## How do I find my current firmware version?

1. Go to the **System** tab of the camera configuration screens. Look for **Device Info.**

2. Click on **Device Info** to bring up the Device Info screen. The firmware version is the first line in the information list.

3. If it is established that the firmware is out of date, go back to the system tab and look for the **Firmware** menu item.

5. If you are in the process of upgrading the firmware there are two main factors to consider.  
    You are either starting with a new camera in which case you will upgrade with default settings or, if you have a previously configured camera you will be upgrading the firmware keeping current settings.

6. Navigate to the location of the firmware update file to select it for upload. This will be a .gpg file.

# Trobleshooting Tips

## Powering the Camera

If the camera is not connecting to the PL8RDR there may be issues with power. Ensure that the connections are sturdy and follow the guide to Powering the Camera.  
One way to check a camera to ensure it is powered on is to power up the unit and view the front of the camera using a cell phone camera. The use of the camera viewfinder does two things. It shields you from looking directly into the infrared light as well as allow you to see a slight flicker in the 6 lights on the front of the camera.

## Checking Firmware updates.

You should always ensure you have the latest firmware installed.

## Adjusting the Camera's View

Depending on the application of your camera, whether it be fixed or mobile, there are adjustments that can be made to improve accuracy and speed of reads.  
Adjusting the angle, height and width of camera's read area can improve performance by simply defining the camera's sweet spot so to speak.
