You can add new sound files to Genetec Patroller™ to use for ALPR events by manually copying the files to the Patroller in-vehicle computer.
What you should know
- The sound files must be .wav format.
- You can replace a default sound file with a new sound file that has the same file
name.
Example: If you have a file called alert.wav, and you want to use it for a permit hit, you must rename your file to PermitHitEvent to match the default sound file name before copying it to the Sounds folder (either manually or through the updater service). This way it overwrites the default sound file, and Patroller can play it.
- Sounds for hotlist hits have more flexibility. You can overwrite the default sound
HotlistHitEvent in the Sounds folder, or
you can use a different filename for each hotlist loaded in Patroller, as long as you specify the path to each
hotlist’s sound file in Security Center
Config Tool. Best Practice: New hotlist sound files can be stored anywhere on the in-vehicle computer, but you should keep them in the same Sounds folder as the default sound files. This makes it easier to update them later.
