To store the ALPR images that are associated with the reads and hits, you must add the
Sharp camera to the Archiver.
Before you begin
- Set up the
Archiver role for ALPR.
- Log on to the camera's web portal and change the default password.
- By default, SharpV units include a self-signed
certificate that uses the common name of the SharpV (for example, SharpV12345). To add the SharpV
to the Archiver, you must generate a new certificate (signed or self-signed) that uses the
camera’s IP address instead of the common name.
What you should know
- The unit is added to the Archiver according to the encoding type configured in the
Sharp
Portal. For more information, see SharpOS Portal - Encoding
page.
Procedure
-
Open the Video task, and select the Archiver role to
configure.
-
Click .
The
Manual add dialog box opens.

If you have multiple Archiver roles, select one to manage the unit from the
Archiver drop-down list.

NOTE: If the unit uses HTTPS, enter the HTTP port (80) here. You will enter the HTTPS port
in the following steps.
-
Select the Authentication method for the camera.
- Default logon
- The camera uses the default logon defined for the Archiver in the
Extensions tab. Using this method, you can define the same
logon credentials for multiple cameras.
IMPORTANT: You cannot use the
default logon when adding a SharpV
camera. You must use the credentials you configured when you first logged on to
the SharpV portal.
- Specific
- Enter the logon credentials for the camera. Turn on Use
HTTPS if you have applied a certificate.
NOTE: Sharp cameras running SharpOS 12.7 or later must use HTTPS
communication.

From the Location drop-down, assign the camera to an area
entity.
