Sharp Admin interface tour
The Sharp Admin is the web-based administrative application used to configure Sharp
cameras for fixed or mobile AutoVu systems. From a Web browser, you log on to a specific
IP address (or the Sharp name in certain cases) that corresponds to the Sharp you want to
configure. When you log on, you can configure options such as selecting the LPR context
(e.g. Alabama, Oregon, Quebec, etc), selecting the read strategy (e.g. fast moving or slow
moving vehicles), viewing the Sharp’s live video feed, and more.
This section includes the following topics:

• "Log off the Sharp Admin" on page 17
• "Restart the Sharp unit" on page 17

Log on to the Sharp Admin
Before you begin: You need to know the name or IP address of the Sharp camera you want
to connect to:
• Sharp name. The Sharp name is on the label under the Sharp camera’s visor. It is typically
in the format “Sharp1234”.
• SharpX name. The SharpX name is on the back of the LPR Processing Unit. For more
information, see "Using the Sharp Admin with SharpX" on page 17.
• Sharp IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.10.100.
• SharpX IP address. The default IP addresses are 192.168.10.1 for SBC1, and
192.168.10.2 for SBC2 (if applicable).
NOTE SBC2 only applies if you have a SharpX – Multi system with four camera ports.
For more information, see "Using the Sharp Admin with SharpX" on page 17.
