- Car Direction.
This should be set to FRONT if vehicles Enter and Exit through the same barrier preventing the
reading of number plates moving away from the camera.
- Relay Contacts (1 & 2)
These voltage free relay contacts can be configured to pulse every time a number plate is read.
They can be used to trigger other devices, for example: lighting, CCTV, alarm bell.
- Time Schedule
The camera system can be configured so that it is only active at certain times of the day/week.
- Select a firmware to upload.
These upload and reboot functions should only be used with the co-operation of Technical Support.
Number plate data
A .jpg image of the number plate and a text string are both available via the ethernet interface.
An SDK (software development kit) is available on request from Technical Support.
Bad plate option
The bad plate option can be found under the 'General' tab. This option will create a default number
should a plate be detected but due to its condition (dirty, damaged, non-standard, etc.) the reliability
score does not reach the minimum required.
The default output for this is 9999XXX99, but this can be changed. This value is sent to the Net2
which treats it like a normal token number.
Net2 will create an event as normal but can be set to allow or deny access by setting up a user record
containing this value. Using Net2 'triggers and actions' it can also sound a local alarm or send a text
or email to security if required.
Advanced tab
Multiple read and filter
Off - The system outputs data as soon as it has made a decision on the plate number and will not
send any more data while the same plate remains in view.
On - It will continually recheck the plate number and send the data after every new decision
(up to 3 times per second) for as long as the plate remains in view.
On + Filter - As above, but only sends data if the plate number decision changes.
