List Management settings

List management makes it possible to define identities and lists so that the allowed or not allowed identities can be defined.

The settings define and manage identity and list management settings. Settings allow you to:

Add, edit, and delete identities containing license plates and face images
Add, edit, and delete lists and manage list content
Import and export lists and identities
Configure LPR and FR event database retention limits
Enable and define integration and its settings

The System manager application provides several dialogs to access and modify list management service data and settings. The dialogs can be found in the “System settings“ section.

Integration requires LPR and FR integration license.
