The AutoVu™ Third-party Data Exporter is a feature that uses either an HTTPS or a SFTP connection protocol to securely export ALPR events, for example reads and hits, to external endpoints. The data exporter supports multiple file formats, such as XML, JSON, and others, to export the data.
Examples of exported reads and hits
- For examples of JSON files, see Examples of JSON files for the AutoVu third-party data exporter.
- For examples of XML files, see Examples of XML files for the AutoVu third-party data exporter.
License options for AutoVu Third-party Data Exporter
The data formats supported and the number of extra external endpoints vary depending on your license. By default, you can export an XML file of the ALPR events to a single external endpoint. The following table lists the supported data formats and the number of endpoints configurable per license option:
| License option | Data format supported | Endpoints supported |
|---|---|---|
| None | XML | 1 |
| AU-PI-T2MEAEXPORT 1 | JSON2, XML | 1 |
| GSC-AV-MS-PI-T2MEAEXPORT 1, 2 | JSON2, XML | 1 |
| AU-PI-3RDPARTYEXPORTER-1X | JSON, JSON2, JSONLAP, UTMC, XML | 1 |
| GSC-AV-MS-PI-3RDPRTYEXPRT-1X | JSON, JSON2, JSONLAP, UTMC, XML | 1 |
| GSC-AV-PI-3RDPARTYEXPORTER-1X | JSON, JSON2, JSONLAP, UTMC, XML | 1 |
| AU-PI-3RDPARTYEXPORTER-3X | JSON, JSON2, JSONLAP, UTMC, XML | 3 |
| GSC-AV-MS-PI-3RDPRTYEXPRT-3X | JSON, JSON2, JSONLAP, UTMC, XML | 3 |
| GSC-AV-PI-3RDPARTYEXPORTER-3X | JSON, JSON2, JSONLAP, UTMC, XML | 3 |
1 Typically used with the T2 Systems Mobile Enforcement Application.
2 Typically used with AutoVu Managed Services (AMS) systems.
Limitations
- If a Genetec Patroller™ unit raises a covert hotlist hit, the event is exported twice.
- If you use XML or JSON file formats to export events, only the events generated by the Patroller contain a value in the address field.
- The feature exports at a rate of 20 events per second with an HTTPS connection, and 10 events per second with SFTP. If the total events per second exceed these rates, it is recommended to set the Queueing protocol to High volume.
- If a Patroller unit has more than 2000 events to offload, it is recommended to do one
of the following:
- Use an HTTPS connection to export the events.
- Set the Queueing protocol to High volume.
- The license counter for the endpoints does not automatically update after adding the
endpoints to the system.Workaround: Restart the Config tool to refresh the license counter.
- The feature does not currently export any AutoVu™ Free-Flow related events.
- The maximum number of endpoints per ALPR role is nine.
