Why did an old XProtect LPR component stop writing logs after a Log Server upgrade?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
A historical authentication change can block older components.
Explanation
The 2018 R3 Log Server changed compatibility with 2018 R2 and earlier LPR components.
Things to check
- Component releases
- Server Logs options
What to do
Use the documented compatibility setting only for that legacy combination, or align component versions. Do not apply this historical workaround to unrelated current failures.
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
