Filtering out invalid characters from hotlists and permit lists - Security Center 5.12

When a hotlist or permit is created or modified, you can specify the character set that applies to the license plates in the list based on a selected language, and what the ALPR Manager does if it detects a list with invalid characters (non-alphanumeric characters).

1. From the Config Tool homepage, click System > Roles, and then click the ALPR Manager you want to configure.
2. Click the Properties tab.
3. Under Plate filtering, select the types of characters to filter on from the Character set list (Latin, Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic, or Thai).
4. In the Invalid plate number section, select one of the following options to specify how the ALPR Manager handles invalid records:

   Modify record

   Modify any plate entries in memory with invalid characters such as spaces, dashes, ampersands and so on. For example, the plate number “ABC#%3” becomes “ABC3”.

   Remove record

   Remove from memory any plate entry with invalid characters. The plate number does not raise hits, even if it is in the list.

   NOTE: Regardless of the option selected, the original text file or CSV file does not get modified.
5. To log the filtering process, select the Log filtering option.
   The plate filtering logs will be saved in the AutoVu™ root folder: C:\Genetec\AutoVu\RootFolder.

   NOTE: There is no size limit for the log. It needs to be maintained, otherwise, the logs can occupy gigabytes of disk space.
6. Click Apply.
