Why does a Milesight camera’s ONVIF video work but its plate metadata never arrives?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
Check the firmware and metadata transmission switch.
Explanation
Milesight documents ONVIF plate metadata from T_61.8.0.3-r12, with a separate enable setting.
Things to check
- Exact firmware branch
- Data Transmission settings
- Receiver metadata support
What to do
Enable the documented metadata option and test with a compatible receiver.
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
