On the page:

Events search is set up in the following order:

  1. Select the database, where events should be searched.
  2. Configure the displaying of search results.
  3. Configure the video archive.

Selecting the recognizer databases for the events search 

To select the recognizer databases for events search, first select the servers where the required LPR databases are. To do this, in the main menu of the Event search in the Recognizers DBs window, in the Servers item, select the required server names. To select all system servers, click Servers → Select all.

Note

Each time you open the Event search in the Recognizers DBs window, the access to the selected servers is checked. If any of the selected servers is unavailable, then after the timeout expires, the header of the search results table will display a list of servers to which it was not possible to connect, and the header itself will be highlighted with red. If all servers are available, the header will be highlighted with green.

The timeout for connecting to the selected Auto PSIM servers is set on the settings panel of the Vehicle Tracer module window (see Setting up the Vehicle Tracer interface window).

If you use the Server/Remote Administrator’s workstation and Remote Client configuration, you must set the value of the string parameter of the registry key VehiclePlateSearch.UseRestIp=1 to enable the event search (see Registry keys reference guide).

Configuring the search results

Event search results are displayed in the table. You can choose which table columns should be displayed and which shouldn't, add new columns and also edit the columns displayed names.

To configure the search results displaying, do the following:

  1. In the main menu of the Event search in the Recognizers DBs, click Settings.

    As a result the Settings dialog window is displayed. The search results displaying is configured on the Configure fields tab. 

  2. In the field (1) set the checkboxes for the columns that should be displayed in search results table.

    Note

    To display all the available columns in the search results table, set the Select\deselect checkbox (2). If this checkbox isn't set, the search results table is not displayed.

  3. To add a new column to the search results table, do the following:

    1. Click Add (3). As the result the Configure fields dialog window will be displayed.

    2. In the Field name in the DB field, specify the name of the column in the connected recognizer database, which content should be displayed in the search results table (1).

    3. In the Field name in the interface field, specify the name for this column which should be displayed in the search results table (2).

    4. Click Save to save the applied changes and close the Configure fields dialog window (3).

      Note

      Click Cancel to close the window without saving any changes (4).

Configuring the video archive

Video recordings of the events are displayed in the video archive. To configure the video recordings playback, do the following:

  1. In the main menu of the Event search in the Recognizers DBs, click Settings.

    As a result the Settings dialog window is displayed.
  2. Go to the Configure video archive tab (1).

  3. From the Overlay drop-down list, select the Overlay mode (2).

    Note

    Overlay is used to process the video using the video card and Direct X libraries, before it is displayed. Overlay allows to improve the image due to optimization of the pixel color settings. At the same time, the CPU load is reduced as the video is processed with the resources from the video capture card.

    The overlay modes are presented in the table.

    Overlay mode

    Description

    No

    Videos from the video cameras are not processed by the video card

    Overlay 1

    Videos from the video cameras are processed as one stream

    Overlay 2 (set by default)

    Videos from the video cameras are processed independently of one another

  4. In the Compression field, set the cursor according to the required video compression rate (3).
    • Default—means the original compression rate, size and quality of the video corresponds to the video image that is sent to the server.
    • None—means minimal compression rate, full video size, best quality.
    • Maximum—means maximum compression rate, minimal video size, worst quality.
  5. To save changes click OK (4).

The configuring of the video recordings playback is completed.
