Does a Milesight ANPR camera need an SD card to recognize plates?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
Not for recognition, list matching and live posting.
Explanation
Local image and video storage have different requirements from live recognition.
Things to check
- Whether the failure concerns recognition, stored images or stored video
- Card state
What to do
Diagnose live OCR separately. Install and configure local storage when the required workflow includes archived media.
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
