Why does enabling VMS analytics fail to produce camera-side Milesight ANPR results?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
Confirm which device performs recognition.
Explanation
Milesight distinguishes front-end camera recognition from back-end analytics.
Things to check
- Camera ANPR capability
- VMS analytics mode
- Enabled recognition component
What to do
Configure the intended recognition engine and its corresponding event integration.
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
