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.

want to export with the event.
NOTE:

- 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.
