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.NOTE: Information on context images is not applicable to SharpV ITS cameras. -
Guid
is the unique identification of the event read. - If using FTP with GPS coordinates, you’ll need to add longitude and latitude fields.
- You can add the following custom fields to the template:
- Confidence score
- The Sharp assigns a confidence
score percentage to each license plate read. This value indicates how
confident the Sharp is in the
accuracy of the read. You can add the confidence score associated with the
plate read to the XML using the following
field:
<ConfidenceScore>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#{Confidence Score}</ConfidenceScore>
- Lane
- If dual-lane monitoring is configured for the Sharp, you can add the lane name
associated with the plate read to the XML using the following
field:
<Lane>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#{Lane}</Lane>
- Relative Motion
- When the Sharp reads a plate, it detects and displays if the vehicle is approaching or moving away.
- Speed
- For systems that include a fixed Sharp camera, you can configure the
camera to export the vehicle’s estimated speed. You can add the speed of the
vehicle associated with the plate read to the XML using the following
field:
<Speed>#CUSTOM_FIELDS#{Speed}</Speed>
- State Name
- The Sharp attempts to read the plate’s origin in addition to the plate number (some plates include the issuing state or province). This may not be possible for all types of license plates.
- Vehicle Type
- Certain license plates include character symbols that identify specific vehicle types (for example, taxi, transport, and so on). If the Sharp can read these symbols, it displays the vehicle type along with the other read and hit information.
