Why does a Hikvision entrance camera reject my allowlist spreadsheet?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
Use the template exported by that camera.
Explanation
The entrance-camera manual describes a native import template; a generic CSV is not automatically equivalent.
Things to check
- File type
- Column names
- Camera model and firmware
- Plate formatting
What to do
Download the template, preserve its structure, add a small test list, and verify import results before loading the full list.
ANPR Edge
Skip the dedicated ANPR camera. Read plates from the cameras you already have.
ANPR Edge is plate-recognition software that runs on a PC at your site and works with ordinary IP cameras, so plate reads no longer depend on one vendor's camera, NVR or firmware.
- Works with standard IP cameras over RTSP
- One license per location covers every camera
- Runs on a Windows PC or Mac you own
