Before you can start collecting data from your ALPR cameras, you must configure data sources for the Genetec™ Third-Party ALPR plugin.
Before you begin
What you should know
- Using a data source, all data is converted from the incoming data model to the Third-Party ALPR plugin ALPR read data model.
- When combined with data sinks, plugin data sources can be used to send read and hit data, as well as images, to the cloud and archive servers.
Procedure
- Configuring cloud-hosted third-party cameras as data sources in the Third-Party ALPR plugin
- Configuring on-premises cameras as data sources in the Third-Party ALPR plugin
- Configuring Security Center events data sources in the Third-Party ALPR plugin
Example
| Source type | Suggested typical data sinks |
|---|---|
| ALPR (cloud-hosted third-party camera data source) | SC events, Valcri, Database (hits, and images) |
| Genetec Sharp (Security Center events data source) | Valcri |
| Plugin REST API (on-premises third-party camera data source) | SC events, Valcri, Database (reads, hits, and images) |
