Can a Uniview (UNV) NVR perform Smart Plate Search with a third-party ANPR camera?

No. Uniview explicitly locks its advanced metadata analytics, including Plate Comparison and Smart Vehicle Search, to its own Uniview-branded LPR cameras. Third-party cameras can only provide basic, unsearchable video streams to the UNV NVR.
