Some countries make use of a territorial designation on their license plate. In Sense, some of these countries are broken up in multiple modules. See below table for an example of the Australia CarR modules.

CarR Module

Territory

CarR Module

Territory

AUS_ACT

Australian Capital Territory

AUS_NSW

New South Wales

AUS_NT

Nothern Territory

AUS_QLD

Queensland

AUS_SA

South Australia

AUS_TAS

Tasmania

AUS_VIC

Victoria

AUS_WA

Western Australia

Next to the individual territories, Sense also includes an AUS module, which is referred to as the “All reader”. The “all reader” module scans all vehicles and matches any plates that look like Australian plates. It is recommended to both enable all the territorial modules, including the “all reader” module for increased accuracy. Because of the “All reader”, custom license plates will also be scanned.

However, some systems require a single classification, regardless of territory. In the Australian example, a license plate is unique regardless of the classification, thus it is not a requirement. For such systems, it is required to let Sense translate a territorial match back to the “All reader” module.

Configuration

Note:
The following settings should be done by advanced users only. Editing .ini files may have unforeseen consequences.

  • Stop the DivaServer or SenseVideoManager service

  • Open the DivaServer.ini or SenseVideoManager.ini file. Depending on your setup, this file can be found on the following locations:

    C:/Windows/SysWOW64/config/systemprofile/AppData/Roaming/DivaSettings C:/Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Divasettings

  • Add the following line to the .ini file:

     

    [ReplaceCarRCountries] Value= [Modules that should be replaced] Replacement= [Replacement module]

    Australia example:

    [ReplaceCarRCountries] Value=AUS_ACT,AUS_NSW,AUS_NT,AUS_QLD,AUS_SA,AUS_TAS,AUS_VIC,AUS_WA Replacement=AUS

  • Save the .ini file

  • Start the Server

  • Start the client, and login into the server

  • Enable all required CarR modules in the Server tab
