  2. By alarm events (the Search by alarms tab).

Creating a search query by recognized vehicles

To create a search query by recognized vehicles, do the following:

  1. Go to the Search by vehicles tab (1).
  2. In the Vehicle's license plate group:

    1. From the Search operation drop-down list (2), select a logical construction, used for uniting several elements of the key phrase, which correspond to the LP numbers or their parts that are being searched:

      • ANDfor searching by numbers, containing all the elements of the key phrase;

      • ORfor searching by numbers, containing at least one element of the key phrase.

    2. In the field (3), enter the key phrase. The elements of the key phrase can be separated by comma "," or semicolon ";".

      Note

      The key phrase can include usual characters and picture-characters in the required combination.

      Picture-characters

      Description of a picture-character

      Example of search query

      %

      Any number of any characters

      Search query A%385%78 returns LP numbers, containing the elements A, 385 and 78, divided by any number of characters, for example AO38578 and A385MK78

      _ (underscore)

      Any single character

      Search queries _91_AT_7 and T9__AT07 return the LP number T919AT07

      []

      Any single character within the range [A-E] or in the set [ABCDE]

      Search query [E-M][2-5]53 returns LP numbers, containing the sequence of four characters. The sequence ends in 53, the first character belongs to the range E-M, the second one belongs to the range 2-5, for example, K453MH02, M253BT63

      [^]

      Any single character outside the range [^A-E] or the set [^ABCDE]

      Search query [^E-M]499 returns LP numbers, containing the sequence of four characters. The sequence ends in 499, the first character does not belong to the range E-M, for example B499BK57 and H499578

    3. Set the License plate not recognized checkbox (4) if it is necessary to display all numbers.

      Note

      The License plate not recognized checkbox is available only if the OR logical construction is selected in the Search operation drop-down list.

    4. Set the Partly recognized checkbox (5) if it is necessary to display partially recognized numbers.
    5. Set the 'Space' in car number checkbox (6) if it is necessary to display the numbers that contain a space between the characters.
    6. Set the Acceptable error amount checkbox (7) to display the numbers with the errors (character mismatches), the amount of which is indicated in the drop-down list.
    7. From the Report type drop-down list (8), select the type of vehicle search:
      1. Passesstandard search.
      2. Escort vehiclessearch for all vehicles that have been recorded near the specified vehicle within the time interval set in the Interval before/after, s parameter.
    8. In the Interval before/after, s field (9), specify the time in seconds within which it is necessary to search for the vehicle.

      Note

      This parameter is available if the Escort vehicles value is selected in the Report type drop-down list.

    9. In the Min. number of occurrences field (10), specify the minimum number of vehicle records within the time set in the Interval before/after, s parameter.

      Note

      This parameter is available if the Escort vehicles value is selected in the Report type drop-down list.

  3. In the Regional code group, set the checkboxes for those regional codes, the events for which must be returned during search.

    Attention!

    Only those regional codes are displayed, the license plate of which has already been recognized earlier, since this information is received from the database of recognized license plates.

  4. In the LP region group, set the checkboxes for those regions, the events from which must be returned during search.

    Attention!

    Only those regions are displayed, the license plate of which has already been recognized earlier, since this information is received from the database of recognized license plates.

  5. In the LP colors group, select color of regional code and basic color of the license plate.

    Attention!

    Only those license plate colors are displayed, the license plate of which has already been recognized earlier, since this information is received from the database of recognized license plates.

  6. In the Date/Time group, specify the time range within which the required events have been registered. By default, this range is not activated (the from and to checkboxes are clear). To activate it, set the from and/or to checkboxes and then click the button and in the appeared calendar, set the required date. Enter the required time in the field From and/or To. If you select only the lower or upper limit, the search query returns the events, registered before or after the set time, respectively. To disable the search by date and time, clear the from and to checkboxes.
  7. In the Plate recognizers group, set the checkboxes for those plate recognizers, the events from which must be returned during search.

    Note

    Information about objects deleted from Axxon PSIM isn't displayed in the Plate recognizers group. To search by deleted servers of plate recognizers, in the View menu of the Event search in the Recognizers DBs window, select Show deleted.

    After this, all deleted LPR channels are displayed in the Plate recognizers group. Set checkboxes for those plate recognizers which you want to use during search.

  8. In the External DB group, set the checkboxes for those external databases, the events of finding the recognized number from which must be returned during search.

    Note

    The External database group contains a list of all databases that have ever been used together with the Vehicle Tracer module, but, by default, databases deleted from Axxon PSIM aren't displayed in the list. To search by deleted databases, in the View menu of the Event search in the Recognizers DBs window, select Show deleted.

    As a result, all external databases deleted from the system are displayed in the list. Set checkboxes for those databases which you want to use during search.

  9. From the Registered speed group, select the required filter of vehicle speed and then enter the threshold values of vehicle speed. The following speed filters are available:

    • <not important>events of the vehicle, moving with any speed will be returned;
    • moreevents of the vehicle, moving with a speed, exceeding a threshold value, will be returned;
    • lessevents of the vehicle, moving with a speed, not exceeding a threshold value, will be returned;
    • intervalevents of the vehicle, moving with a speed, belonging to a specified interval threshold values, will be returned;
  10. From the Direction drop-down list, select the required filter by the direction of vehicle movement. The following direction filters are available:

    • <no matter>events of the vehicle, moving in any direction relative to the license plate recognition camera will be returned;

    • to the rightevents of the vehicle, moving to the right of the license plate recognition camera will be returned;
    • to the left—events of the vehicle, moving to the left of the license plate recognition camera will be returned.
  11. In the Countries group, set the checkbox for the country, the events from which must be returned during search.

    Attention!

    Only those countries are displayed, the license plate of which has already been recognized earlier, since this information is received from the database of recognized license plates.

  12. In the Comment group:

    1. From the Search operation list (1), select a logical construction, used for uniting several elements of the key phrase, corresponding to the comments to the events that are being searched for:
      • ANDfor searching by comments, containing all the elements of the key phrase;
      • ORfor searching by comments, containing at least one element of the key phrase.
    2. In the field (2), enter the key phrase, containing one or several elements separated by a comma and corresponding to the comments to the events, which are being searched for, and which were specified in the Online monitor window (see Adding comments to the events).
    3. Set the Empty comment checkbox (3) to include the uncommented events in the search.

      Note

      This parameter is available if the OR logical construction is selected in the Search operation drop-down list.
