Depending on what type of Sharp
camera installation you are configuring, license plate reads can be sent to, Genetec
Patroller™, or to an FTP or HTTP server.
What you should know
- The default extension depends on the hardware you are installing. For example, if
you log on to the Sharp
Portal for a
SharpZ3, the default extension is
Patroller.
- For FTP and HTTP extensions, plate reads and images are automatically stored if the
connection is lost, however, you can disable edge storage using the Retain
data when the connection is lost setting in the extension
configuration. To reduce cellular data usage, you can also configure whether the ALPR
and context images are exported.
