Integration with LPR Cameras for Door Opening

Akuvox door phones or access control terminals can be integrated with the License Plate Recognition(LPR) Camera for garage door opening.

To achieve the integration, you need to assign the license plate information to a user and set up the API in the camera. When the camera identifies the plate and matches it with the information enrolled on the door phone, the door can be opened.

This enhances the automation and security of garage entry and exit.

Note

The cameras that support the POST method support the integration.

The tested camera brand:

• Milesight

• March Networks

• Aibase Color

• Hikvision: CMIP7C44WLPR-32R

Set the Door Phone

1. Use the device IP to log in to its web interface. The default username and password are both admin.

2. Click Setting > HTTP API. Enable the feature and customize the username and password.

3. Enter the IP address of the camera.

4. Click Submit.

Assign License Plates to Users

You need to assign license plates to specific users for door opening.
