If you are not sending license plate reads to Security Center, you can configure the SharpV to send license plate read data to an SFTP or HTTPS server.
What you should know
- You do not need to select an extension if you add the camera to the ALPR Manager using the LPM protocol. In this case, the setting is added and is automatically selected when the unit is added in Security Center.
- If the SharpV is connected to Security Center, plate reads are automatically stored if the connection is lost.
- For FTP/SFTP and HTTP/HTTPS extensions, plate reads and images are automatically stored if the connection is lost, however, you can disable edge storage using the Retain data when the connection is lost setting in the extension configuration. To reduce cellular data usage, you can also configure whether the ALPR and context images are exported.
- While FTP and HTTP are still supported, they are insecure and we recommend using SFTP or HTTPS instead.
