This section introduces you to the main components of Genetec Patroller™.

A Notification bar The information displayed in the notification bar depends on how Patroller is configured.

Generally, you will see basic information, such as the current time and date, your Patroller username, and so on. There are also icons to notify you if a connection has been lost, or if an offload did not complete in a previous session.

B Search Search for captured reads and hits.
C Plate review reel See plate reads live as they occur.

Depending on how Patroller is configured, a hit causes the plate review reel to switch from displaying reads to displaying unacknowledged hits.

You can review reads and hits from the plate review reel, and search for specific license plates.
  • To view more information about a read or hit, tap the item on the plate review reel.
  • To navigate through the list, swipe the plate review reel left or right, or touch and hold the left and right arrows. You can also type CTRL+G and use the slider to go directly to a specific read.
D Selected read Tap a read to review it in the information panel, and see its location on the map (if maps are installed).
E Go live button To exit review mode and return to live mode, tap Go live.
F Information panel See information about a read or hit such as the context image, ALPR image, and so on. Tap the image to switch between displaying the context image and the map in the main viewer. Tap the license plate text string to edit the plate.
G Main viewer Displays the patrol vehicle's current location on the map, as well as the different types of reads and hits for your AutoVu™ configuration:
Circle
No overtime rule, permit list, or zone selected. Reads are in gray, hotlist hits are the color defined by administrators in Config Tool (red by default).
Triangle (Permit lists)
A permit list is selected. Reads are in gray, permit hits are the color defined in the Plate lists tab.
H Camera indicator Indicates which camera on the vehicle captured the read or hit.
I Zoom controls Control the behavior of the Main viewer.
  • To zoom in, tap the (+) button.
  • To zoom out, tap the (-) button.
J Street address or GPS coordinates Displays the current location of the Patroller. Tap to change the display from GPS coordinates to a street address and vice versa.
K Pause/Resume reading Pauses and resumes plate reading for all Sharps installed on the vehicle.
L Toolbar
Hits
Tap to display all unacknowledged hits. Only pending hits are displayed, you must tap Review to see the hits that were processed (enforced, not enforced, or rejected).
Permits
Select the permit list to enforce.
Manual Capture
Capture a license plate by typing the plate information manually.
New wanted
Manually add a license plate to the local database on the in-vehicle computer, so Patroller can generate a hit if the plate is captured. New wanted license plate values are not part of any hotlist files.
Plate lists
Tap to display active hotlists and permit lists. You can also perform past read matching.
Offload
Offload ALPR data at the end of a shift.
Options
Adjust basic Patroller options such as volume.
Status
View Patroller statistics, download status, diagnostics, error messages, and version information. You also import your Plate lists using this tab.
Cameras
Turn plate reading on or off for any individual Sharp camera installed on your vehicle. The icon displayed on the toolbar changes depending on how many Sharps are installed on the vehicle. For example, if you have two Sharps installed on the front of the vehicle (one on the front left and one on the front right) you will see the “Both” arrow icon. When you have cameras installed on the rear of the vehicle, the cameras icon is displayed.
Video
View the live video feed from the Sharp unit’s ALPR camera or context camera. If installed, you can also view the tire cameras' video feed. The icon appears in red if the video feed is not working.
