With each release, new features, enhancements, or resolved issues are added to the product.
Security Center
5.8 GA includes the following License Plate Recognition
enhancements:
General enhancements
- Permit restriction support in AutoVu™ Free-Flow
- When setting up AutoVu™
Free-Flow parking lots,
you can now use permit restrictions to configure time restrictions for the lots.
Previously, permit restrictions were only available for patrol vehicles configured for
University Parking Enforcement.
For more information, see Adding and configuring parking rules.
- IPv6 support for Sharp cameras
- You can now enroll Sharp cameras using
either the IPv4 or IPv6 address which are provided in the Sharp
Portal. NOTE: IPv6 is currently supported by SharpV cameras running SharpOS 12.4 or later.
For more information, see Adding a camera to the LPR Manager.
- Sharp enrollment using the LPM protocol
- You can now add Sharp cameras to the LPR
Manager using the License Plate Management (LPM) protocol to manage the connection.
For Sharp cameras running SharpOS 12.7 or higher, the LPM protocol
provides a secure and reliable connection to the LPR Manager role.
For more information, see Upgrading a SharpV to use the LPM protocol.
- Reliable plate read path
- Security Center now ensures that license plate reads are not lost if Archiver activity is high. If the Archiver cannot save license plate reads to the database, the Sharp camera saves plate reads locally. When communication is re-established, the plate reads are sent to the Archiver database.
Mobile and web apps
- LPR camera monitoring (Web Client)
- If your system includes fixed LPR cameras or patrol vehicles running Genetec
Patroller™ software, you can now use Web
Client to monitor license plate reads and
hits.
For more information, see Monitoring patrol vehicles and LPR cameras.
- Generate reports on license plate reads and hits (Web Client)
- Using the new Plate report task in Web
Client, you can search for a specific license
plate to report on, or you can filter the report for plate reads and hits from specific
patrol vehicles or fixed LPR cameras.
For more information, see Viewing license plate reads and hits.
- Hotlist management (Web Client)
- You can now add a vehicle's license plate to a hotlist in Security Center
Web
Client, which can then be used to
alert officers of wanted individuals or parking violations, or to permit or restrict
access to a parking facility.
For more information, see Adding license plates to a hotlist in Web Client.
- Change user password (Web Client)
- You can now change your Security Center password from the user settings in the Web Client interface.
- Override unlock schedule (Web Client)
- When monitoring a door controlled by an unlock schedule in Web
Client, there is now an option in the
Monitoring task tile to manually lock or unlock the door by
overriding the schedule.
For more information, see Unlocking doors in Web Client.
