LPR - License Plate Recognition
The LPR (from EnglishLicense Plate Recognition, License Plate Recognition) is a feature that allows you to identify vehicles using a camera to read their license plates, and further grant or block access depending on the situation of said vehicle. In places where there are flows of vehicles, it is possible to use the Ronda senior
Prerequisites for use
To use LPR, you must have Java 11 - 64 bits installed on the machine where the LPR driver will be installed.
The compatible camera models from the manufacturer Intelbras are as follows:
- VIP 7250 LPR IA FT G1;
- VIP 7250 LPR IA FT G2;
- VIP 7260 LPR IA FT G2;
- VIP 94120 LPR IA FT G2;
- VIP 93200 LPR IA FT G2.
The supported API version is V2.84. Do not use versions higher than this as they are not tested or approved with the Ronda senior X system.
What you can do:
Firstly, to enable this functionality you must install the LPR driver. To do this, perform the following steps:
- On the senior X Platform, access the Access and Security Management > Downloads menu;
- click inDownload the LPR Driver application and download this file. Unzip it on the desired server;
- Run the create-service.bat file. With this, the driver service is created on the server;
- Access the Windows Services application. To do this, open your computer's Start menu, type "Services" and click on the option that appears;
- Check if the serviceSenior - Ronda Driver LPR was created correctly.
- sdk.connection.timeout: maximum time, in milliseconds, for which the LPR driver will wait for a card's response before considering it offline;
- sdk.request.timeout: time interval, in milliseconds, in which the LPR driver will search for events on each board;
- sdk.response.timeout: time interval, in milliseconds, in which the LPR driver will wait for a response to sent requests;
- sdk.driver-status.timeout: time interval, in milliseconds, in which the LPR driver waits for the response to the driver-status command sent to Ronda senior X;
- sdk.driver0.driver_key: driver token (available in driver registration). The LPR driver uses this token to identify the driver within the Ronda senior X. If it cannot find the keysdk.driver0.driver_key, the proxy considers that there is no driver configured;
- server.port: identifies the server port. The default value is 8077.
Note
The LPR driver will not start and will display an error message in the log if it has a keysdk.driver0.driver_key invalid configured or has no associated device.
In these cases, adjust the switch or configure a device associated with the switch and restart the LPR driver.
After installing the driver in the previous process, perform the following steps to register and configure LPR on your system:
- Register the LPR driver. To do this, access the Access and Security Management > Access Control > Drivers menu;
- Fill in the registration fields. In the fieldManufacturer, enter "Driver SDK";
- click inTo save;
- Register an extensible property that is necessary for the resource to function. To do this, access the Access and Security Management > Access control > Extensible properties menu;
- Click on the buttonTo add. In the fieldIdentifier, enter "DEVICE_HANDLER_API". Already in the fieldValue, fill in with "INTELBRAS_CAMERA";
- Register the physical location where license plate readings will be carried out, if it is not already registered in the system. To do this, access the Access and Security Management menu > General registrations > Physical locations. For more information on how to register a physical location, check thecorresponding page;
- Register the management device that will perform LPR control. This is done in the Access and Security Management > Access Control > Devices menu;
- Fill in the fields in this registration. In the fieldDescription, register a name or description to identify the device;
- For theDriver, select the driver previously registered in step 1;
- In the fieldPhysical location, select the location previously registered in step 6;
- In the fieldCommunication Port, enter the communication port with the device;
- AtNetwork identification, enter the IP of the device in question. For theManager type, sets "Access control";
- Select the extensible property registered in step 4;
- Inform theUser It isPassword access to the camera;
- click inTo save;
- Add an exit device as a trigger, so that the gate (or equivalent physical blockage) is opened for the vehicle to pass when permitted access occurs. To do this, with the managing device selected, clickAdd sublevel > Output;
- Fill in the necessary fields for registration. If in doubt, check thedevice registration page, in the item "Registration of output device";
- click inTo save;
- Add an LPR reader. To do this, with the managing device selected, clickAdd sublevel > Reader;
- Fill in the necessary fields for registration. If in doubt, check thedevice registration page, in the item "Reader registration";
- To theTechnology, select "LPR". In the Activations section, select the activation registered in step 15;
- click inTo save.
With the above items performed, the LPR routine is ready to use. It considers the registrations ofvehicles (and for those for Private use, the registrations ofpeople associated with these vehicles) in the system, to carry out access validations.
Important: Manufacturer Garen
It is possible to integrate the system with LPR devices from the manufacturer Garen. However, the driver runs on the equipment's own firmware, meaning it is not necessary to install the LPR Driver to communicate with the device, as shown in the instructions above. See the pageApproved Manufacturers to access the approval declaration and the list of supported devices.
