Configuring the Patroller entity in Security Center - Security Center 5.12

From the ALPR task, you can configure sound management, acknowledgment buffer settings, and a hit delay for the patrol vehicle.

1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the ALPR task, and click Roles and units.
2. Under the ALPR Manager, select the Patroller entity you want to configure, and click the Properties tab.
3. Under File association, configure how hotlists and permits should be used.

   Inherit from ALPR Manager role

   Patroller uses the hotlists and permit lists associated with its parent ALPR Manager. This is the default setting.

   Specific

   Associate specific hotlists or permit lists with the Patroller unit rather than the ALPR Manager. If you move the Patroller entity to another ALPR Manager, the hotlist or permit list will follow.

4. Under Sound management, configure Patroller to play a sound when reading a plate and/or generating a hit, and choose whether sounds should be played even when the application is minimized

   Play sound on hit

   Plays a sound when Patroller generates a hit.

   Play sound on read

   Plays a sound when Patroller reads a plate.

   Play sounds even when minimized

   Play sounds even if the Patroller window is minimized.

5. Under Acknowledgment buffer, specify a buffer restriction that limits how many hits can remain unacknowledged (not accepted or rejected) before Patroller starts automatically rejecting all subsequent hits. You can also choose (by priority) which hotlists should comply with this restriction

   Reject count

   How many unacknowledged hits are allowed.

   Reject priority

   When you create a hotlist entity, you can specify a priority for that hotlist. This setting tells Patroller which hotlist(s) should comply with the buffer restriction.

6. Under Hotlist and permit, specify the Duplicate hit delay that tells Patroller to disregard multiple hits on the same plate for the duration of the delay. For example, if you set a delay of 10 minutes, no matter how many times Patroller reads the same plate during those 10 minutes, it will generate only one hit.
