Investigating reported reads and hits per parking zone

You can view the number of reads and hits per parking zone for a specific date range, using the Reads/hits per zone report.

What you should know

By viewing the activity within a parking zone, you can assess the performance of Genetec Patroller™ installations and fixed Sharp cameras in the field. For example, if you want to see how efficient the location of a mounted fixed Sharp is, you can search for that Sharp, and set a time range of a week.

To investigate the reads/hits reported in a parking zone:

  1. From the home page, open the Reads/hits per zone task.
  2. Set up the query filter for your report. Choose one or more of the following filters:
    • Custom fields: Click to hide description
      Restrict the search to a predefined custom field for the entity. This filter only appears if custom fields are defined for the entity, and if the custom field was made visible to you when it was created or last configured.

      Restrict the search to Genetec Patroller™ units (including all their fitted LPR units) and/or LPR units representing fixed Sharp cameras on the Genetec Patroller™ unit.
    • Reject reason: Click to hide description
      Reason selected by the Genetec Patroller™ user when rejecting a hit. Reject reasons are created and customized in Config Tool. This filter only affects the value in the Rejected hits column.
