ecschnei Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 doc.openalpr.com/cloud_api.html Has anyone worked with the API on a LPR software? I'm curious if we can set preferences and Welcome messages for plates pulled from our IP cam. Known guest announcements..."The {insert name here}'s are arriving" Unknown plates...activates drop down turret gatling gun from porch...etc...

Hikvision has cameras with LPR built in and modules for purchase. That might be a little more robust. I've played with it some. You need a good camera and a local with front plates. Hikvision has settings based on country so it can adjust to the shape and character recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 As far as I recall, the Gatling gun option is blocked by the C4 police... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a good camera and a local with front plates. Hikvision has settings based on country so it can adjust to the shape and character recognition. $70 hikvision cam, BI software, and OpenALPR free cloud api and it is storing a plate in a file that the api will give access too. I just don't know how to build on that. I want to pull the plate info into a database that has names tied to it...i can fill in who it is. Then have a programmed response from the name fieldSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pounce Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 The agent can configure a webhook or you can event off something else and pull messages (plates) off the queue. Message is JSON with the plate and candidates. I haven't looked too deep. Looks like some part of their software can do lookups. At least their UI mockups show names next to plates.

RobbieF Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 This could be an interesting one (Although I don't have a serious use case)........ As long as we could integrate with IFTTT we could use Alanchows driver to do things...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineerisaac Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I mean anything is possible. I wrote some basic interface elements into a driver @ www.command4.com for stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecschnei Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 I was trying to have it load a spreadsheet with LP entries and I add the individuals name. Anyone I don't know will be unknown, then create some code to announce "user name" is here pulling values from the spreadsheet. This also would create a log file....If you wanted to go crazy have it poll results and if it's been X number of days since a LP has shown up in the log set announcement " It's been X days since "user" has been over, would you like to invite them for dinner? LOL....could be some crazy stuff here, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineerisaac Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Ide keep most of the logic of that outside the control4 brain. And send Web events to run the audio matrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWRobinson Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 https://www.axis.com/en-us/solutions-by-application/license-plate-recognition I think it only works with Axis cameras, but appears to do everything you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
