Fig. 7.6—15 Additiional settings of external database

1. Set the «Process recognized LPs received only from local recognizers» checkboxif it is needed to use plates only from local recognizers while compairing with plates stored in the database (Fig. 7.6—15, 3).
2. Set the «Extended mode» checkbox to use the special procedure of recognizing violators in accordance with restrictions for licence plates depending on the week days (Fig. 7.6—15, 4). If this checkbox is set, then for identified license plates, which are not found in the database, the additional rules from the lprdb_rules.xml file are checked (or from the lprdb_rules_X.xml, where X stands for the ID of the "External Plates DB" object, if it is necessary to set extended mode separately for the External Plates DB). This file should be located in the Intellect installation folder in the Modules directory. In this file the days of week and time intervals are specified, inside which vehicles with certain last digit of the license plates are forbidden to pass.

Example of the lprdb_rules.xml file. Such file is designed to forbid passage on Monday for the following vehicles:
1. With the last digit of the license plate equal to 1, in time interval from 12:00:00 PM to 4:00:00 PM and from 8:00:00 PM to 10:00:00 PM
2. With the last digit of the license plate equal to 8, in time interval from 10:00:00 PM to 13:00:00 PM
