Adding a SharpV camera to the ALPR Manager - SharpV | SharpOS 14.2

To send license plate reads to Security Center, you must add the SharpV camera to an ALPR Manager.

To manually add a camera running SharpOS 12.7 or later (LPM protocol):

1. From the Config Tool home page, click the ALPR task and select Roles and units.
2. Select the ALPR Manager role from the drop-down list.
3. Click ALPR unit.
   The Creating a unit dialog box opens.
4. Enter a Name for the camera.
5. Enter the camera's IP address.
6. This SharpOS version requires HTTPS communication. Enter Port 443.
   NOTE: If the camera is behind a NAT, enter the IP address of the NAT, and the port of the NAT which has been associated to port 443 of the camera.
7. From the Location list, assign the camera to an area entity.
   
8. Click Next.
9. Enter the Username and Password used to log onto the Sharp Portal.
10. (Optional) Select Connect over SSH tunnel to securely connect the unit using LPM protocol. For example, if you do not want to enable port 10001 on the server side, you need to setup a SSH tunnel to the Sharp to enable a secure communication.
    NOTE: If you want to use the SSH tunnel, ensure that the camera unit is running SharpOS 14.1 or later.
    
11. Click Next.
    The system validates the credentials.
