AutoVu™ SharpV OS 14.4.0 includes important new features as well as updates for bug fixes and security-related issues.
New look and feel
The Sharp Portal has been redesigned for an improved user experience.
- Refreshed interface
- The Sharp Portal has an updated look with refreshed colors and button styles, while maintaining a familiar overall design.
- Enhanced security
- SharpV OS has been rebuilt with a new codebase, which enhances security by incorporating the latest security practices, addressing vulnerabilities, and ensuring robust protection against threats.
Manually adjust analytics behavior
If the recommended regional ALPR context for your region has trouble detecting certain license plates, you can now fine-tune the analytics behavior by adjusting the expected letter and number sequence. This is useful if, for example, new license plates are issued with different character sequences than those defined in the regional ALPR context. For information, see Configuring analytics behavior.
Improved GPS precision
SharpV OS now provides a more accurate GPS location. GPS points are measured over time, then the points are converged to give a single precise location for the unit.
Longer passwords
New passwords for the Sharp Portal must now be at least 12 characters long. Existing short passwords will still work, but it is recommended that you change your password to benefit from the improved security of a long password.
Metadata for NOPLATE reads
If the Virtual Loop feature generates a NOPLATE license plate read due to a damaged or dirty plate not being captured by the ALPR camera, the read now includes all available metadata, such as vehicle make and model.
Regional ALPR context for Taiwan
The Analytics page of the Sharp Portal now includes a regional ALPR context for detecting license plates from Taiwan.
Improved regional ALPR contexts
The following contexts have been improved:
- Europe
- The list of typical license plate character patterns that are present in the region has been updated.
- Oklahoma
- Now supports plates with 3 stacked characters.
