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.

...

The Survision camera’s are equipped with infrared or white-light LEDs for optimal visibility, and it’s housed in a durable, weather-resistant aluminum body. Built with embedded AI, it offers flexible data outputs, multiple connection options, and can be easily integrated into iProtect.

2. Support and license

Below is an overview of support for both the hardware and the software, including the necessary license:

2.1 Supported cards (License plates)

• European and American license plates.

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.

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.

...

For example, if the camera is mounted too high or at an inappropriate angle, it may struggle to read plates, particularly those that are angled or obscured. Additionally, the LPR system settings—such as exposure, focus, and frame rate—should be fine-tuned to correspond with the camera's specific positioning to guarantee optimal performance.

...

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.

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.

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 betweenfor the option: “Number plate no country code”

   • “Number plate with country”

   • Select the option based on the customer's preferenceClick 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.

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

4. 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.

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

6. 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.

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.
