1. Introduction

The Survision LPR-camera is an advanced, standalone license plate recognition (LPR) camera designed to deliver high performance with minimal setup. Built for ease and efficiency, the Survision camera’s offers trigger-free operation, capturing high-speed vehicle plates up to 155 mph (250 km/h) with exceptional accuracy and speed. Its compact design integrates all necessary LPR functions within the camera itself, eliminating the need for an external server.

...

Info

The camera can be connected to the network, but has no function to be used as an overview camera. The image of the camera will also not be able to be made visible in IPROTECT Access.

2.1 Supported cards (License plates)

  • European and American license plates.

Info

It is recommended to update the firmware once a year.... or when you read in the release notes that an enhancement is of interest to you.

3. What is OSDP

Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is an access control communications standard developed by the Security Industry Association (SIA) to improve interoperability among access control and security products.

...

Info

OSDP readers are only supported by stacked Orions (RS485 connection)

4. Setup LPR-camera

4.1 Setup wizard of LPR unit

Info

Survision's LPR units have an IP address by default, which is printed in the test sheet provided. This IP address is always 192.168.0.XYZ, where XYZ is the conversion (from hexadecimal to decimal) of the two last characters of the MAC address.

  1. Setup a local netwerk and configure the network properly.

  2. Start a Webbrowser and enter the IP-address of the camera

  3. Follow the instructions of the QUICK START GUIDE of the camera.

4.2 VSSsetup tool

Info

For more information, please consult the MANUAL_VSS.xxx.pdf

...

  1. Close this window

  2. Lock the camera and close this window.

5. Hardware Installation

5.1 Positioning of the LPR camera

The successful positioning of the LPR unit relies on several key factors. To ensure a proper installation, please adhere to the following essential steps and guidelines.

...

Info

For further details, please consult the Survision manual.

...

5.2 Connecting the LPR camera to the Orion

The LPR camera connects directly to the Orion Kp bus connector via a fixed cable, with a maximum distance of 15 meters between the camera and the Orion unit. Additionally, the camera operates using an external 24V power supply.

...

Note

The KpBus connector can only be used when the PRT2 port is not being used.

...

6. iProtect Implementation

6.1 General

OSDP readers are completely handled by the nodemanager, so the nodemanager should run to obtain access by a OSDP card reader.

The reader manager is not involved by handling the OSDP protocol.

6.2 Card encoding

To enable license plate recognition, follow these clear steps to create a card configuration within iProtect:

  1. Navigate to Card Configuration:

    • Go to Access > Settings > Card Configuration.

    • Initiate the wizard by right-clicking on the tree view.

  2. Start the Wizard:

    • Click on the button labeled “Wizard card number presentation.”

  3. Configure Presentation:

    • A new pop-up will appear.

    • Enter a logical name for the new presentation, such as “LPR presentation.”

    • Choose for the option: “Number plate no country code”

    • Click the Save button.

6.3 Configure the Reader in iProtect

To configure an OSDP reader, please follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Connect the LPR camera to the Orion (refer to chapter 5.2 Connecting the LPR Camera to the Orion).

  2. Press the discover button in the line dialog of the Pluto.

Info

The Address number refers to the specific identifier assigned to the camera, as detailed in chapter 4.2 VSSsetup tool.

  1. Wait for the discovery process to complete: Read-in event => Read-in event: Stop, Line: xxx…

  2. Refresh the line dialog of the Pluto. If an OSDP device is detected, it will appear as a Node below the Prt2 port of the Orion.

  3. Change the OSDP compatibility setting at the OSDP node to “Ascii data as raw data.”

  4. Right-click on the OSDP node in the tree view and select “Add Reader.”

    • Enter a unique logical name for the reader.

    • Choose the appropriate card data interpretation in the General tab.

    • Select the output in the Door Control section on the Input/Output tab.

    • Choose the loop input in the Loop selection on the Input/Output tab.

    • (optional) set the read card before loop activation at the door behavior tab.

    • Click the Save button.

Info

The “read card before loop activation” setting can be beneficial when the camera captures the license plate before the vehicle triggers the loop.

7. License Plate Configuration in iProtect

A license plate operates much like a standard card within the iProtect system. To enable this feature, you need to connect the LPR (License Plate Recognition) reader to a reader group, which is then linked to an access profile.

...

For guidance on how to assign a card (License Plate) to a person record, you can follow this document: https://tkhsecurity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/9171076589/Assign+cards+to+people?atl_f=PAGETREE.
