How do I watch for an XProtect plate when one character is unknown?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
Match lists support question-mark wildcard patterns.
Explanation
Wildcard matching intentionally broadens which plates can match.
Things to check
- Pattern position
- Plate format
- Potential false matches
What to do
Use a question mark only for the unknown character and test the pattern. Keep investigative wildcard lists separate from exact access credentials.
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
