The ALPR Manager role manages and controls the patrol vehicle software (Genetec Patroller™), Sharp cameras, and parking zones. The ALPR Manager stores the ALPR data (reads, hits, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and so on) collected by the devices.
Multiple instances of this role can be created on the system to provide scalability and partitioning. For example, different fleets of patrol vehicles can be managed by different ALPR Managers.
ALPR Manager root folder
The root folder is the main folder on the computer hosting the ALPR Manager. It is where all the configuration files are created, saved, and exchanged between the ALPR Manager and the Genetec Patroller™ units it manages.
When you create an ALPR Manager role, the root folder is created automatically on your
computer, located at: C:\Genetec\AutoVu\RootFolder. If you create
multiple ALPR Manager roles, new folders are created at the same location. For example, if
you create three ALPR Manager roles, Security Center
automatically creates the following folders:
- C:\Genetec\AutoVu\RootFolder1
- C:\Genetec\AutoVu\RootFolder2
- C:\Genetec\AutoVu\RootFolder3
NOTE: ALPR Manager roles on the same server cannot share a root folder. Likewise, ALPR Manager
roles on separate servers cannot share a root folder on a shared network drive.
Each ALPR Manager root folder includes the following subfolders:
- ManualTransfer
- Contains the configuration and data files to transfer to Patroller manually using a USB key or similar device.
- Offload
- Contains the ALPR data offloaded by Patroller.
- Rules
- Contains the delta files used by Security Center to transfer hotlist and permit list changes. Do not copy or move anything in this folder.
