The Alta Video Map view tool includes a license plate recognition layer that can be displayed when LPR is enabled.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you have purchased the relevant LPR licenses, and have installed and configured the cameras you are using for license plate recognition.
  • Configure Map view with suitable floor plans for the areas you expect to see vehicles, and place your cameras accordingly. See Upload site maps to Map view and Add camera positions to your site maps.

Task — Show the license plate layer

  1. Choose Tools Tools > Map view Map view.
  2. Click Layers buttonShow layers.
  3. Click Show license platesShow license plates.
  4. Click the vehicle dot of interest.
    The thumbnail of the image is displayed, along with the license plate for the vehicle currently detected in camera view.

    If you have configured cameras on Map view that include vehicles but that do not have LPR enabled, you will see the vehicles in the thumbnail, but will not see the license plate information.
