Creating event-to-actions for ALPR events or hotlist events - Security Center 5.12

Some vehicles must be granted access to a parking facility, while other actions are taken for unknown or scofflaw vehicles. You can create event-to-actions that are triggered based on License plate hit and No match events generated by Sharp cameras.

1. Open the Automation task and click the Actions view.
2. From the Domain list, select ALPR.
3. Click Add an item ().
4. From the When list in the Event-to-action dialog box, select the event type License plate hit or No match.
5. From the From list, select a hotlist.
   The From and For fields can contain either a hotlist or a Sharp camera, and you do not need to fill both fields. For example, to create an event-to-action that is triggered when a hit is detected for your regular employees hotlist, no matter what camera it is detected on, select the regular employees hotlist in either the From or For field and select Clear selection for the other field so that it appears as Any entity.
6. From the For list, select the Sharp camera to which you want to assign the hotlist.
   NOTE: Select the Sharp video unit, not the individual cameras under the unit.

   

7. Select the Action and attributes for each type of event.
   • For License plate hit events, select Trigger output, and then select the Output relay and Output behavior required to grant access to the parking lot. For example, open a gate.
   • For No match events, select the action you want Security Center to take. For example, you can send a message to a particular Security Center user, or use another Trigger output action to activate a security intercom at the gate.
8. In the Effective option, click Always and select a schedule when this event-to-action is active.
   If the event occurs outside of the defined schedule, the action is not triggered.
9. Click Save.
