You can configure the ALPR Manager role to automatically export license plate read event metadata to a Microsoft SQL database.

What you should know

  • You can select which metadata is exported to the MsSql endpoint. This can be useful if, for example, regulations require you to delete sensitive information like license plates after a certain time, but you still want to keep non-sensitive data for further analysis.
  • Images cannot be exported to an MsSql endpoint.
  • You can use the MsSql endpoint setting to export to an Azure SQL database.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, click System > Roles, and then click the ALPR Manager you want to configure.
  2. Click the Properties tab and enable the Data Exporter option.
  3. Select the required Queueing protocol from the drop down menu.
    Standard
    This is the default mode.
    High volume
    Select this mode if you need to export a high volume of events.
    NOTE: In the Communication settings pop-up window, enter the details configured in the RabbitMQ installation.
  4. Click Endpoints () and select MsSql from the list.
  5. In the Parameters section, enter the Endpoint name.
  6. In the Configuration settings section, enter the following:
    Database server
    Enter the name of the database server, for example, (local)\sqlexpress01.
    Database name
    Enter the name of the database.
    Database table
    Enter the name of the database table.
  7. By default, connections are encrypted. For additional security, turn on Validate certificate and select whether the certificate uses Windows or SQL Server authentication.
  8. In the Export settings section, select the metadata that you want to export with the event.
    NOTE:
    • To add additional metadata that is not included in the list, click Add and select the metadata to include in the list.
    • You cannot export images to a database; you can only export the metadata associated with license plate reads.
    • If you select the Context attribute, it exports the associated regional ALPR context, for example, Florida. In this case, "Context" does not refer to the context image.
  9. Click Apply.
