Configure Macq QCam5 API data sources to enable the Third-Party ALPR plugin to ingest ALPR data from on-premises Macq cameras using the QCam5 protocol.

What you should know:
  • In this integration, the Genetecâ„¢ Third-Party ALPR is seen as a Central Macq M3 by the Macq camera.
  • Ensure you have access to the QCam toolbox for the relevant Macq cameras. For more information about the QCam toolbox, see the following: https://mobility.macq.eu/qcam-5.
Setting Description
Name Select a name for the data source that identifies where license plate data is coming from.
Raise 'no data' events Set the time threshold after which a custom Security Center event is triggered if no data is received from the specified data source. For more information, refer to Creating event-to-actions.
Anonymized raw data logging Select this setting to make the data source log raw data with the license plate anonymized.
NOTE: Raw data consists of the exact and unprocessed data that is received from the relevant camera or API. Some private fields are still anonymized for privacy reasons.
REST port Configure the port where the REST API listens for requests. The default port is 443.
API documentation Select whether the plugin enables an endpoint to access the API documentation and displays a link to the API. This feature should be disabled in production environments.
