We have finalized a “standard” integration of our access control system with the XProtect Access plugin using the SDK. We would like to know if it is possible to interact (and how this could be achieved), from the same plugin integration with XProtect LPR in order to:
- Get LPR events and parse them
- Possibly link LPR sources (cameras and/or lane detection (we do not yet how this works …) with doors identified within the access control plugin
Do you think this is possible and how this could be achieved?
Thanks for your feedback.
To get the LPR Events and parse them is shown in the Alarm and Event Viewer sample. Please explore that sample.

Doors are not available in MIP, and this will most likely be a stopper for closer integration.
Hello Bo,
Thanks for the quick answer.
If I get it correctly, it is rather easy to subscribe and parse LPR events the tricky part is to map specific cameras / views inside cameras to a given door in the access control system.
In MIP is it possible to access a list of all LPR cameras / “views” defined on those cameras? Is there any sample code showing how this could be done? We could imagine to write a second plugin which would allow a user to retrieve the AC system door information in the same way the AC plugin does it, provide a mapping interface in the XProtect management application to link specific cameras / views from the LPR to doors and communicate with the AC system, without all the logic of the XProtect Access plugin.
Do you think this would be possible? If you have any suggestion on sample codes available in the MIP SDK showing how things could be done that would be helpful.
Regards,
With the Config API Client you can read the LPR Cameras under MIP Kinds -LPR Cameras. I am in doubt whether this answers your question and enables you to do what you would like to do..
