If you want to send ALPR data to a database, you must configure a database data sink.
Before you begin
What you should know
- A database server is an application that manages databases and handles data requests made by client applications. Security Center uses Microsoft SQL Server as its database server.
- The Genetec™ Third-Party ALPR plugin database can be used to store reads and hits so that they can be viewed in the Security Center Reads and Hits task.
- The database sink should not be used to ingest data from Sharp cameras.
-
Tip: For example, create two database data sinks of the following varieties:
- Plugin REST API: including reads and images
- ALPR ingestion service and plugin REST API: including hits and images
Procedure
