You can add new sound files to Genetec
Patroller™ to
use for LPR events by manually copying the files to the Genetec
Patroller™ in-vehicle computer.
What you should know
- The sound files must be .wav format.
- You can replace a default sound file with a new sound file that has the same file
name.
Example: If you have a file called
alert.wav, and you want to use it for a permit hit, you
must rename your file to PermitHitEvent to match the default sound file name before
copying it to the Sounds folder (either manually or through
the updater service). This way it overwrites the default sound file, and Genetec
Patroller™ can play it.
- Sounds for hotlist hits have more flexibility. You can overwrite the default sound
HotlistHitEvent in the Sounds folder, or
you can use a different filename for each hotlist loaded in Genetec
Patroller™, as long as you specify the path to each
hotlist’s sound file in Security
Center
Config
Tool.
BEST PRACTICE: New
hotlist sound files can be stored anywhere on the in-vehicle computer, but you
should keep them in the same Sounds folder as the default
sound files. This makes it easier to update them later.
To replace a sound file:
-
To overwrite the default sound files, do the following:
-
Open the folder C:\Program Files\Genetec AutoVu
X.Y\MobileClient\Config\Sounds.
-
Rename your new sound file to match the default file you want to
overwrite.
-
Copy your renamed sound file to the Sounds folder so
that it overwrites the default file.
-
Restart Genetec
Patroller™ for your changes to take
effect.
To configure a unique sound for each hotlist:
-
Copy your new sound file to any location on the in-vehicle computer.
-
Open Config
Tool and select the
LPR task.
-
Select the hotlist to configure, and click the Advanced
tab.
-
In the Sound file field, specify the path and filename to
the sound file on the in-vehicle computer.
To configure sounds for additional hotlists, repeat Steps 3 and
4.
