There are many tasks involved in deploying a fixed SharpV system. Use this overview as a reference to guide you through the process.
Preparing for the deployment
These are the tasks to perform before you go on site for the deployment. If you can’t complete the tasks on this checklist, contact your Genetec Inc. representative.
| Task | Description | Where to find more information |
|---|---|---|
|
The site survey should include the following information:
|
|
|
The questionnaire helps you collect the information required to deploy the system, for example, contact information, site information, and details of the AutoVu™ system to be installed. |
|
|
The release notes contain information about the current releases, as well as any known issues or limitations. |
|
|
An electrical contractor is required to do the following:
|
Refer the Electrician to the How to install and connect an AutoVu™ SharpV camera document, which is included in the SharpV box. |
|
Provide the following information to the electrical contractor:
|
|
|
The SharpV must have a static
IP address if you are adding the camera to the Archiver. It is recommended that you do this before the camera is mounted. |
|
|
For example, configure the context and the server IP address. It is recommended that you do this before the camera is mounted. |
|
|
Security Center should be installed on the server via remote connection before going on site. | |
|
The ALPR Manager is the role that manages and controls ALPR data from SharpV cameras. | |
|
A permit is a type of entity that defines a single parking permit holder list. | |
|
To use hotlist entities in Security Center, you must create the hotlist, map it to a source text file, and configure it for your enforcement scenario. | |
|
You can use vehicle license plates as credentials to grant or deny access to a protected area such as a gated parking lot or garage. |
|
|
The camera should be mounted, powered, and connected to the network before you arrive on site. |
|
|
|
|
|
You can either use the self-signed certificate that is auto-generated on the SharpV, generate a new self-signed certificate using the tools provided in the Sharp Portal, or use a signed certificate from your own public key infrastructure (PKI) or from a Certificate Authority such as VeriSign. |
On site tasks
These are the tasks to perform while on site. If you can’t complete the tasks on this checklist, contact the your Genetec Inc. representative.
| Task | Description | Where to find more information |
|---|---|---|
|
Confirm that the camera placement and cable connections are correct. | |
|
Have your initial site survey on hand to help determine the proper positioning, and angles. This will assist in the aiming of the camera. | |
|
The system can ignore certain vehicles based on the size of the license plate characters, the angle of the plate, or where the plate appears in the field of view. | |
|
To receive plate reads in Security
Center, you must add the camera to
the ALPR Manager. To view the context camera video feed in Security
Center, you must add the camera to
the Archiver. NOTE: Information on context cameras is not applicable to SharpV ITS
cameras.
|
|
|
At the end of the installation test the system to ensure that the hardware is functional, and perform a read report to test performance. |
|
|
The Security Center User Guide describes Security Desk features and commands, and provides instruction on how to perform tasks, such as live monitoring of events, video playback and instant replay, report generation,alarm management, and visitor management. |
|
Finalizing the deployment
These are the tasks to perform after the camera is installed and configured. If you can’t complete the tasks on this checklist, contact the your Genetec Inc. representative.
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
|
You must send the Deployment Field Report to Autovu.deployment@genetec.com The report should include:
|
|
Follow up 1 to 2 weeks after the deployment to ensure customer satisfaction. |
