Reimplement - do not upgrade
XProtect LPR 1.0 is a new product making use of new technologies such as the XProtect Event Server
and Alarms. As a result, it is not possible to upgrade from former Milestone LPR solutions. Instead you
must reimplement your solution.
Important prerequisites
Add cameras required for XProtect LPR: If you have not already added the cameras you are going
to use with XProtect LPR, do so in XProtect Corporate or XProtect Enterprise before configuring
XProtect LPR.
Adjust camera configuration for LPR: Once cameras are added, adjust each required camera's
settings in XProtect Corporate or XProtect Enterprise so that the settings match the requirements for
LPR. For the relevant cameras it is recommended to set:

a frame rate of four frames per second

a low compression

if possible, a low sharpness value

the video codec to JPEG

resolution which is not too high.
Note that if you use H.264 codec instead of JPEG, only GOP-frames are supported (which is usually
only 1 frame per second). For higher frame-rates, use JPEG codec.
