Easy LPR configuration | Mirasys Help Center

Configuration process

Configure the LPR functionality for the cameras in use (please see the manufacturer's website for more information)
Check that license plates are correctly detected on the camera side
Add cameras to the Mirasys VMS
1. Use a camera native driver
Check that the Mirasys VMS license supports LPR cameras
Enable Easy LPR (detailed instructions on this are available here)

You can find a list of supported cameras here. The list includes tested ANPR/LPR cameras.

Depending on the camera manufacturer's API, there may be a need to modify the camera-side XML.

Camera-specific configurations

If there is no camera manufacturer-specific guidance, you can follow the instructions here: Enable Easy LPR.

Axis and Axis License Plate Verifier

Check that you have the latest Axis License Plate Verifier software installed on the camera
Check that the Axis License Plate Verifier is licensed and working correctly
Check that you are using the latest Axis driver for VMS

To get the Axis License Plate Verifier to send data to the VMS Server, there is a need to edit the driver XML file

Open NewAxisIPCapture.xml and edit this using Notepad
- Default location C:\Program Files\DVMS\DVR

Find this section:

    <!-- Axis License Plate Verifier configuration -->
    <AxisANPR>
      <!-- Possible values: Any IPv4 address. An empty value means the default interface. -->
      <!-- Several IP addresses should be semicolon separated, can be used to set failover and master recorder addresses. -->
      <NetworkInterface></NetworkInterface>
      <!-- HTTP Web server URI -->
      <URI>/vms/server</URI>
      <!-- Plate cache timeout in sec -->
      <CacheTimeout>30</CacheTimeout>
      <!-- URI for getting thumbnail image -->
      <ThumbnailBaseUri>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi</ThumbnailBaseUri>
      <ThumbnailUseCamera>Yes</ThumbnailUseCamera>
      <ThumbnailResolution>320x240</ThumbnailResolution>
      <!-- Boolean flag to enable or disable additional output of metadata to the log (default value is 'No') -->
      <EnableDebugOutput>No</EnableDebugOutput>
    </AxisANPR>

In this section, you need to edit <NetworkInterface></NetworkInterface>
Add here the VMS Server IP address, and if there is a failover, add this too
- Do this for all needed servers
- Please remember that the driver update or the VMS update overwrites these parameters
Now you can save this file and replace the file in the DVR folder, and restart the DVRServer service
If you need to see the debug output for the LPR handler, you can enable additional logging with the “EnableDebugOutput“ parameter.
