Can ONVIF Profile T carry metadata without Profile M?

Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced

Short answer

Yes. Profile T includes metadata streaming.

Explanation

Transport support and recognition of a particular plate schema are separate requirements.

Things to check

  • Metadata track availability
  • Receiver parser
  • Plate fields

What to do

Inspect actual metadata and the receiver’s supported features. Use a documented vendor integration if the receiver cannot index the plate data.

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
