Security Center 5.12.0.0 includes the following automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) enhancements.
General enhancements
- Add multiple entries to a hotlist
- You can now update a hotlist in Security Desk by importing content from a CSV or TXT
file that is stored locally on the computer or on a network drive. You can select the
rows that you need to import and bind the column names in the file to the attribute
names in the Security Center. For more information, see Editing hotlists.
- Set hit retention for individual hotlists
- In addition to the existing retention period settings in the ALPR Manager
configuration, you can now set a hit retention period for individual hotlists. This
capability can help your system conform with local privacy policies that might only
apply to certain hotlists. The system warns you if there is a conflict between the two
retention settings. For more information, see Creating hotlists.
- Set a maximum expiry date for license plates in a hotlist
- If you make ExpiryDate a mandatory attribute for a hotlist, you can now set the
Expires after duration, which limits the expiry date that can be set for plates
in the hotlist. For example, if you set the hotlist Expires after setting to 10
days, you cannot add a license plate that expires in more than 10 days. The system
notifies you if a plate’s expiry date exceeds the maximum expiry date set for the
hotlist. For more information, see Configuring hotlist and permit attributes.
- User privilege for modifying ALPR retention periods
- A new administrative privilege allows users to configure how long license plate data is stored in the ALPR Manager. You can enable the administrative privilege Modify ALPR Manager retention periods in the Privileges page of the User management task. For more information, see About privileges.
- Edit additional license plate read details
- When you edit a license plate read in Security Desk, you can now modify most of the vehicle metadata in the read. This can include vehicle make, type, color, and many other details. For more information, see Editing license plate reads.
- Create a copy of edited license plate reads
- When a license plate read is
edited in Security Desk, the system can now create a copy of the original read. You can
enable this feature in the page of the ALPR Manager task. If a read has been
edited, a check mark is displayed in the Reads report Edited column.
- Search for license plate reads in recurring intervals
- A new
Advanced timestamps filter is available in the Reads report. The filter
lets you search for repeatedly detected vehicles. For example, if recent vehicle
break-ins seem to occur every Friday night, you can generate a report for vehicles that
are detected in the area on Fridays between 6:00 pm and midnight. If you select
Common plates, the report shows only vehicles that were detected
every Friday night in the time range. For more information, see Investigating reported license plate reads.
- Search conditions for license plate reads and hits
- When using the Search conditions filter in Reads and Hits reports, you can now make comparisons for greater/less than, greater/less than or equal to, in, and not in. These supplement the existing comparison predicates (equal to, not equal to, contains, and does not contain). For more information, see Filtering a report with search conditions.
AutoVu Cloudrunner™ enhancements
- Icons for Cloudrunner cameras
- When selecting the cameras that send license plate reads to Security Center, icons now
show you if the camera is a CR-H2 (
), SharpV (
), or third-party (
)
camera. - Moving Cloudrunner cameras
- You can now move a Cloudrunner camera to a new ALPR Manager role. Clear the camera checkbox in the old ALPR Manager role and select the checkbox in the new ALPR Manager role. This removes the need to manually delete the camera from the old ALPR Manager. For more information, see Adding a Cloudrunner camera to the ALPR manager.
