Configuring the Genetec Patroller™ entity in Security Center

From the LPR task, you can configure sound management, acknowledgment buffer settings, and a hit delay for the patrol vehicle.

To configure the Genetec Patroller™ entity:

1. From the Config Tool home page, open the LPR task, and click Roles and units.
2. Under the LPR Manager, select the Genetec Patroller™ entity you want to configure, and click the Properties tab.
3. Under File association, configure how hotlists and permits should be used.
   • Inherit from LPR Manager role:

     Genetec Patroller™ uses the hotlists and permit lists associated with its parent LPR Manager. This is the default setting.
   • Specific:

     Associate specific hotlists or permit lists with the Genetec Patroller™ unit rather than the LPR Manager. If you move the Genetec Patroller™ entity to another LPR Manager, the hotlist or permit list will follow.
4. Under Sound management, configure Genetec Patroller™ to play a sound when reading a plate and/or generating a hit, and choose whether sounds should be played even when the application is minimized
   • Play sound on hit:

     Plays a sound when Genetec Patroller™ generates a hit.
   • Play sound on read:

     Plays a sound when Genetec Patroller™ reads a plate.
   • Play sounds even when minimized:

     Play sounds even if the Genetec Patroller™ window is minimized.
5. Under Acknowledgment buffer, specify a buffer restriction that limits how many hits can remain unacknowledged (not accepted or rejected) before Genetec Patroller™ starts automatically rejecting all subsequent hits. You can also choose (by priority) which hotlists should comply with this restriction
   • Reject count:

     How many unacknowledged hits are allowed.
   • Reject priority:

     When you create a hotlist entity, you can specify a priority for that hotlist. This setting tells Genetec Patroller™ which hotlist(s) should comply with the buffer restriction.
6. Under Hotlist and permit, specify the Duplicate hit delay that tells Genetec Patroller™ to disregard multiple hits on the same plate for the duration of the delay. For example, if you set a delay of 10 minutes, no matter how many times Genetec Patroller™ reads the same plate during those 10 minutes, it will generate only one hit.
