To determine when Genetec
Patroller™ should start
taking wheel images from the wheel-imaging camera, you must measure the distance between the
wheel-imaging camera and the license plate. You need to be in the Genetec
Patroller™ vehicle and parked next to a “target” vehicle to
perform this procedure.
What you should know
This procedure is the same for parallel or 45-degree parking, but the distance is
less for 45- degree parking because of the parked vehicle’s angle.
Procedure
Park the Genetec
Patroller™ vehicle next to the
target vehicle. Keep the engine running.
Start Genetec
Patroller™, then tap
Video.
The video window appears showing the available Sharps and tire
cameras.
Select the camera (if you have more than one) aimed at the target vehicle, then tap
ALPR to see the ALPR camera’s feed
The ALPR camera’s video feed appears.
Put the Genetec
Patroller™ vehicle in reverse, then
slowly back up until you see the target vehicle’s entire plate in the ALPR video feed.
Stop the vehicle.
Using your tape measure, measure the parallel distance (in meters) from the
wheel imaging camera’s field of view to the target vehicle’s license plate.
Write down the distance you measured.
After you finish
You will need to enter the distance in Genetec
Patroller™ Config Tool. The distance is used by Genetec
Patroller™ to know when to start grabbing tire images
after a plate read.
