You can use the Patroller Transfer Tool to transfer reads, hits, and other data between Genetec Patroller™ and Security Center using a USB drive. You must use this tool to transfer files if Patroller is not connected to Security Center by Wi-Fi or cellular.

What you should know

You can launch the Patroller Transfer Tool from C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec AutoVu 6.X\Tools.
NOTE: It is recommended that you copy the tool to a USB drive so that it can be installed on the Security Center server machine.
If you are using the offload method to send reads to Security Center, you must use the tool to transfer the file to a USB drive, and then again to transfer the file from the USB drive to the Security Center computer. For more information, see Offloading reads to Security Center.
The tool transfers the contents of the configured RootFolder (default location: C:\Genetec\AutoVu\RootFolder\ManualTransfer).
The following data is transferred:
- Offload files (including reads and hits)
- Permits
- Hotlist
- Patroller settings and users
- Matcher settings
- Zones

Procedure

Launch the Patroller Transfer Tool.
From the Where is this tool running from? page, select whether you are running the tool on Patroller or Security Center Server.

NOTE: This page is only displayed the first time that you run the tool.
The tool guides you through the process of selecting your ALPR Manager root folder (in Security Center), selecting your USB media device, and starting the file transfer.

NOTE: A Security Center system can have more than one ALPR Manager role, and each role has its own root folder. The default location is C:\Genetec\AutoVu.
When the file transfer is complete, the tool ejects your USB media device.
