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.

License options for AutoVu Third-party Data Exporter

When an ALPR Manager role has to send data to an endpoint it needs to establish a connection. Each connection requires a license. The type of license depends on the number of connections needed for each ALPR Manager and the supported data formats. 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 connections supported per license option:

License option Data format supported Connections supported
None XML 1
AU-PI-T2MEAEXPORT 1 JSON2, XML 1
AU-PI-3RDPARTYEXPORTER-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-PI-3RDPARTYEXPORTER-3X JSON, JSON2, JSONLAP, UTMC, XML 3

1 Typically used with the T2 Systems Mobile Enforcement Application.

Example: If you have two ALPR Manager roles, where one role needs to send data to three endpoints and the other role needs to send data to two endpoints, you will need a total of five connections. To support these connections, you will need licenses that cover all five connections. You can either get five individual licenses, each supporting one connection, or a combination of licenses, such as one license supporting three connections and two individual licenses.

Limitations

The following limitations apply:
  • 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.
