The system allows the use of LPR embedded in cameras or LPR being processed on third-party servers instead of processing on the system's local LPR server. To use this option you must select the LPR Configuration Processing Type:
As LPR Configurations have already been discussed previously, to learn how to add an LPR Configuration, see the topic Adding an LPR Configuration.
•Use LPR on Camera: If the selected camera has built-in LPR and it is supported by the system, this option will be available. Select this option to use the camera's built-in LPR.
•Process on External LPR Server: Select this option to use integration with third-party LPR software (and servers). If this option is selected, the configuration screen below will be displayed:
oType: Select the external server type (Supported Software).
oVersion: Select the compatible version of the external server.
oServer address: Enter the external server address.
oPort: Enter the communication port of the external server.
oUse SSL: Select for secure communication with the server (If it supports it).
oUser: User for server authentication.
oPassword: Password for server authentication.
oID: String with camera ID or additional server parameters. See the external server integration technical document for more information.
In both options, the configuration of the LPR will be done externally to the system (Directly on the camera or directly on the external server being integrated) and the system will only receive metadata and events from the device, therefore the Engine Settings tab will not be available.
