You can enter the required settings for Genetec
Patroller™ to know when to grab wheel images from the tire
cameras.
What you should know
The overtime settings on this screen still apply when you turn on
Use tire
images. For more information on these settings, see
Configuring overtime settings.
NOTE: If you turn on Auto accept
overtime hits, wheel images are available when reviewing accepted
hits.
Procedure
-
Open Genetec
Patroller™ Config Tool
.
-
Go to , turn on Use overtime, then turn on
Use tire images.
-
Configure the following:
NOTE: You should only need to modify the Tire cam-to-plate distance parameter.
The other settings should be adequate for any parking enforcement scenario.
- Wheel imaging enforced
- Select Mandatory or Optional
from the drop-down list. If you select optional, Genetec
Patroller™ users can enforce a hit without
confirming wheel images.
NOTE: Set this to Optional if
you have enabled the Auto accept overtime hits
setting.
- Tire cam-to-plate distance
- This distance tells Genetec
Patroller™ how
far to travel (after the initial plate read) before it starts grabbing wheel
images.
- Maximum vehicle length
- Genetec
Patroller™ will stop grabbing wheel
images after it has travelled the Tire cam-to-plate distance + Maximum
vehicle length.
TIP: The distance you enter should be based on the
general size of the vehicles in your patrol area. For example, vehicles
in Europe tend to be smaller than in the United States.
- Distance travelled before saving
- When grabbing wheel images, this distance tells Genetec
Patroller™ how often to grab an image. For
example, the default 0.3 meters means that an image is grabbed every 30
centimeters.
-
Click Apply.
Wheel imaging calibration is now complete.
Example
Here is an example of how all these settings work together:
- The Sharp reads a parked vehicle’s
plate.
- After the Genetec
Patroller™ vehicle travels 4
meters (if Tire cam-to-plate distance = 4), Genetec
Patroller™ starts grabbing wheel images from the
tire camera.
- Genetec
Patroller™ grabs an image every 0.3 meters
(if Distance travelled before saving = 0.3).
- Genetec
Patroller™ keeps grabbing images until it
travels 11 meters (if Maximum vehicle length = 11) past the initial read.
After you finish
Perform a road test to ensure that the wheel imaging configuration provides the
expected results.
