The XML code defines the structure of the XML files generated by the SharpV. You can re-sort or remove any of the fields. The XML file name consists of the SharpV name and a unique identification number (for example, SHARPV12345_6ee17b00-82c1-466b-9fd6-003417bc82c4_lpr.xml).

Note the following:
- Hotlist matching is not supported.
-
LocalDate, LocalTime, UTCDate, UTCTime,
andTimeZone
display the Windows date and time properties. -
CameraName
is set in the Genetec Patroller™ Config Tool. -
SourceName
is the SharpV name (e.g. Sharp12345). -
ContextImage
andPlateImage
are encoded into text. -
Guid
is the unique identification of the event read. - If using SFTP with GPS coordinates, you’ll need to add longitude and latitude fields.
- You can add the following custom fields to the template:
- Accessible parking plates
- The Sharp unit recognizes accessible parking license plates that are issued
to drivers with special parking privileges. You can add the accessible
parking plates custom field to the XML using the following
line:
<AccessibleParkingPlate>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#{Accessible Parking Plate}</AccessibleParkingPlate>
- Confidence score
- The Sharp unit assigns a confidence score percentage to each license plate
read. This value indicates how confident the Sharp unit is in the accuracy
of the read. You can add the confidence score custom field to the XML using
the following
line:
<ConfidenceScore>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#{Confidence Score}</ConfidenceScore>
- Lane
- If dual-lane monitoring is configured for the SharpV unit, you can add the
lane name associated with the plate read to the XML using the following
line:
<Lane>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#{Lane}</Lane>
- Plate Corners in Context Image
- The Sharp unit detects the coordinates of the license plate corners, as
they appear in the Context image. To export the plate corners, include the
following line in the
XML:
<PlateCornersContext>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#(
Plate Corners in Context Image
)</PlateCornersContext> - Plate Corners in LPR Image
- The Sharp unit detects the coordinates of the license plate corners, as
they appear in the LPR image. To export the plate corners, include the
following line in the
XML:
<PlateCornersLPR>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#(
Plate Corners in Context Image
)</PlateCornersLPR> - Relative Motion
- When the Sharp unit reads a plate, it detects and displays if the vehicle is approaching or moving away.
- Speed
- For SharpV units installed in a fixed location, you can configure the unit to export the vehicle’s estimated speed.
- State Name
- The Sharp unit attempts to read the plate’s origin in addition to the plate number (some plates include the issuing state or province). This might not be possible for all types of license plates.
- Temporary plates
- The Sharp unit recognizes the temporary paper license plates that are
issued to vehicles until the actual license plates are delivered. You can
add the accessible parking plates custom field to the XML using the
following line:
<TemporaryPlate>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#{Temporary Plate}</TemporaryPlate>
- Vehicle Type
- Certain license plates include character symbols that identify specific vehicle types (for example, taxi, transport, and so on). If the Sharp unit can read these symbols, it displays the vehicle type along with the other read and hit information.
