AutoVu software components
There are several software components you’ll need to install, upgrade, and configure to
deploy an AutoVu system.
• Security Center. The “parent” application that you use to configure and manage an
AutoVu system. Security Center also stores all the LPR data collected from Patrollers or
fixed Sharp units. You configure Security Center using Security Center Config Tool
(Config Tool).
For more information, see "What is Security Center?" on page 6.
• Patroller. The software application installed on an in-vehicle computer that sends LPR
data to Security Center.
For more information, see "What is Patroller?" on page 7.
• Patroller Config Tool. The administrative application used to configure Patroller-specific
settings.
For more information, see "What is Patroller Config Tool?" on page 7.
• Sharp Admin. The web-based administrative application used to configure Sharp
units.
For more information, see "What is the Sharp Admin?" on page 7.
What is Security Center?
Security Center is the unified security platform that seamlessly blends Genetec's IP security
and safety systems within a single innovative solution. The systems unified under Security
Center include Genetec's Omnicast IP video surveillance system, Synergis IP access control
system, and AutoVu IP license plate recognition (LPR) system.
AutoVu Sharp and Patroller components are integrated with Security Center to provide
advanced data mining and reporting through the Security Desk user interface. You can use
Security Desk to generate a variety of LPR reports. You filter query results based on date,
time, patrolling unit, hotlist, type of hit, area, and much more.
With GPS correlation, a GPS location is marked in Security Desk for each Patroller in the
field, and each license plate read. Therefore, when you monitor live incoming reads and hits
in Security Desk, you’ll have precise information on where the read or hit took place. With
the supported mapping display, Security Desk displays a map with symbols for each read,
hit, and vehicle position.
