When a 2N device is connected to 2N Access Commander, then most of its settings are managed by it. Thus, LPR settings will be managed by 2N Access Commander, but still you have to configure the device’s HTTP API credentials as those are device dependent.

• Configure your 2N Access Commander as you normally would. Then open details of the device you already prepared for LPR

  

  and make sure it has Lift Control turned off and that it’s assigned to the proper zone.

  

• Then go to this Zone’s detail and enable License Plate Authentication.

  

• Users can have their license plates assigned

  

  under Accesses>Car License Plates, click ADD, enter one or more license plates, and confirm by clicking create.

  

   

• Verify that this user is assigned to the correct group

  

  and create an Access Rule for it.

  

• Optionally, if you’d like to get photos of recognized license plates, you can create + NEW CAM LOGS. Name the log accordingly, select “Car license plate recognized” and click create.

  

  Then ADD all devices you want to receive photos from to this CAM Log.

  

• Once everything is configured, Access Logs will show up once a license plate is recognized.

  

  You can expand its details and if there are CAM Logs available, you will see this small icon.

  

  Once you click it, you should see an overview of all attached photos.

• Open the hamburger menu and select Reporting.

• Scroll down to Optional reports and enable 2N.
  Fill in your 2N device’s IP address and configure the rest based on the security settings and credentials you entered in the HTTP API section of the 2N device. Save.

• Open the hamburger menu again and enter Settings.

• • The Location part contains settings which define the countries whose license plates should be recognized. You can select up to 10.

• • In the Plate & Mode part you can set the minimum number of characters. 

• • In the Video part you can set the minimum and maximum character height. Optimal settings are dependent on numerous factors, please see the VaxALPR manual for more details.

• •  In the Environment part, you have the option to adjust how often can the same plate be authorized, what’s the maximum angle under which OCR should recognize license plates and most importantly, when to report a recognized plate.

• • The OCR part lets you fine tune the LPR confidence.

• • The Watermark part lets you adjust the images sent to 2N devices. Leave the Maximum JPEG size filter set to 0 as the maximum image size sent to 2N devices is 256 kB anyway – if the compressed file is bigger than that, it won't be sent. Thus you should adjust JPEG quality accordingly, we recommend setting it to 50 if your camera has a resolution around 1920×1080 px. For lower image resolutions or when "Perform report crop to 640×480" is checked you can set the quality to a higher value.

• • The Summary & Submit part contains an overview of all previously configured settings. Save the changes you made

• Now, if everything is configured properly and a license plate is recognized, it’ll be sent into your 2N device.
  Based on whether this plate is valid or not, the barrier/door will open.

• Received license plates will be shown in the 2N device web interface, section Status - Events Log.

• After the wizard we will adjust one more parameter in the Settings tab. Please enable Self-signed certificate in the Security part.

• In the Integration section, Direct integration part, Enter your 2N device’s IP address and HTTP API credentials.
  Select HTTPS as connection type and enable the integration.

• Now, if everything is configured properly and a license plate is recognized, it’ll be sent into your 2N device.
  Based on whether this plate is valid or not, the barrier/door will open.
