LPR camera support
×

System supports advanced LPR cameras assigned to different roles: Entrance, Exit, Gate, Intermediate, Auxiliary.

Operation: Cameras recognize license plates and assign events to route points. Camera role affects event interpretation in system.

White list support
×

White list contains registration numbers authorized to enter premises. List is synchronized between cameras and system.

Operation: Authorization causes automatic activation of relay in camera (e.g. to open gate). In Reports, numbers not on list can be marked as temporarily authorized until their exit.

Scale support (testing required)
Exit confirmation
×

System monitors vehicle exits and automatically ends route after license plate recognition by last route camera.

Operation: Confirmation can be automatic or manual. System generates alarms if exit is not registered within specified time.

Presence on premises (route)
×

Module serves to monitor vehicle presence on premises and their routes.

Operation: Route starts from license plate recognition by "entrance" camera, and ends on "exit" camera. System generates alarms in case of irregularities, e.g. missing license plate, exceeded stay time, vehicle change.

Additional photos from LPR
×

System enables automatic photo taking in response to events from LPR cameras.

Operation: Photos are saved locally and visible in reports. They can also be sent by email after configuring appropriate alarm rules and reports.
