The integrated POS connection has the ability to communicate with a POS server without the need for installing additional hardware. The Sense will use data from the POS server to execute several actions. The Sense can connect with one POS server via a TCP/IP (Network) connection. The connection is periodically checked and re-established when needed.

Settings for the POS actions are made in several steps. The steps that make up the complete setting will described below.

Pump list Select the pump for which the settings will be valid. Pumps can be added with the ”+”-button.
Device list Select the dome camera which should be used in conjunction with the POS system. Cameras can be added with the ”+”-button. Multiple cameras can be controlled per pump setting but only the first one will grab an image.

After a delay, set by ’seconds to grab LPR image’, the system will record an image and send it to the license plate recognition system, if a license plate recognition option is installed on the system. With the FTP module this image can be sent to an FTP-server.
Person ID After a delay time given by ’Seconds to Person ID’ the dome will move to an overview of the situation given by preset number.
