In the Camera settings section of the Sharp Portal Configuration page, you can configure the Sharp camera settings, which are different depending on whether you are connected to a Sharp or SharpX.
Sharp
If you are connected to a Sharp XGA or VGA, you will see the following settings:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Capture high definition context images | Standard definition context images are 320 x 240 (pixels). Select this setting to capture images in 640 x 480. |
SharpX
SharpX cameras are automatically detected when connected to the LPR Processing Unit. The Interfaces you see in the portal depend on how many cameras you have connected to the LPR Processing Unit and how many single board computers (SBCs) are on the LPR Processing Unit. For example, if you have four cameras connected to an LPR Processing unit with one SBC (X1S) you will see all four interfaces: Interface 1, Interface 2, Interface 3, and Interface 4. On an LPR Processing unit with two SBCs (X2S) where you can connect two cameras to each SBC, you will only see two interfaces at a time in the portal (either Interface 1, Interface 2, Interface 3, and Interface 4) since the camera settings are configured on a separate portal page for each SBC.
- Interface 1 and Interface 2.
- These correspond to the camera interfaces 1 and 2 on the faceplate of the LPR Processing Unit.
- Interface 3 and Interface 4.
- These correspond to the camera interfaces 3 and 4 on the faceplate of the LPR Processing Unit.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Model | Displays the SharpX
camera model and the serial number.
|
LPR resolution | Select the resolution for the LPR camera. The resolution
you select depends on several factors, such as the type of Sharp used, the type of lens, etc. Your initial
site survey should provide you with the information you need to select the proper
resolution.
|
Capture high definition context images | Standard definition context images are 320 x 240 (pixels). Select this setting to capture images in 640 x 480. |
- Tire cameras used for wheel imaging are not detected by default. If a tire camera is connected it must be configured manually by selecting A tire camera is connected to this interface and selecting the model. Tire cameras can be configured on Interface 2 and Interface 4 and require the use of the Tire/Aux Imaging Adapter Module.
- If you are using an LPR Processor that has two SBCs (X2S) you will need to configure the other SBC. To do this, click Configure the other unit located on the Status page, under Actions. For more information see the License section of the Status page.
