1.1 VersiCam Wireless System Overview
Figure1.1(a)Majorcomponentsofthe VersiCamWirelessSystem(Camera,BaseStationandICC‐2W)
TheVersiCamsystemiscomposedoftheICC‐2Wmodule,theBaseStationandtheoneortwoCamera
Processor units. Unlike the Vantage Edge2, the processor is integrated into the camera assembly. The
ICC‐2W module is rack mountable or can be shelf mounte d using an available enclosure just like an
Edge2processormodule,however,itonlyprocessescommunications,providescontactclosureoutputs
and provides power to the Base Station. The ICC‐2W module has two output channels per Camera
Processorunitthatcan
beassignedtoanyoftheeightdetectionzones.Communicationandpowerare
interfaced from the ICC‐2W module to the Base Station by an IMSA 39‐2 or 40‐2, 2 pair stranded,
19AWGmulticonductorcable.CommunicationsfromtheICC‐2W/BaseStationtotheCameraProcessor
units is
achieved by wireless radio in the 2.4GHz bandwidth. Power for the Camera Processor unit is
provided locally at the pole. The Camera Processor unit requires 24VDC. Iteris provides a number of
power supplies that can convert high voltage (115‐240v 50/60Hz) or solar charged battery power
(12VDC)tothe24VDCrequired.
Another innovation is the integration of the camera Zoom and Focus operations into the Camera
Processorunit,thuseliminatingtheneedforatraditionallensadjustmentmodule(LAM).Thisallowsthe
