Why can my Nx plugin draw a plate box but users cannot search the plate text?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
A bounding box alone does not supply searchable plate attributes.
Explanation
The plugin guide separates object metadata, attributes and events.
Things to check
- Object type
- Attribute schema
- Plate value
- Emitted metadata
What to do
Publish the supported plate attribute with the object and verify it in the client’s object details.
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
