In addition to the images that are included in a license plate read or hit, SharpV and SharpZ3 cameras also generate a certain amount of metadata, which describes the vehicle. Understanding the size of the metadata file can help you to estimate storage requirements.
License plate read and hit metadata size depends on the analytics that are enabled on the camera. For more information on the analytics that can be included in license plate reads, see Supported ALPR analytics.
The following table gives an estimate of the metadata size for license plate reads and hits:
| No additional analytics | All available analytics | |
|---|---|---|
| SharpV | ~2 KB | ~4 KB |
| SharpZ3 | ~2 KB | ~4 KB |
