To set up the integration, you assign license plate information to a user on the access device, then configure the camera to send plate data to the device via API. When the camera recognizes a plate that matches a plate enrolled on the device, the door opens automatically. This integration follows **3 steps**: 1. Enable the HTTP API on the access device. 2. Assign license plates to users. 3. Configure your camera to push plate data to the device. > [!NOTE] > Note > > This integration works with cameras that support the POST method. Tested camera brands: > > - Milesight > - March Networks > - Aibase Color > - Hikvision: CMIP7C44WLPR-32R ## Model Compatibility This integration is supported on the models and firmware versions below (or higher). | Model | Version | Model | Version | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | X910 | 2910.30.11.28 | X912 | See note below | | X915 V2 | 2915.30.10.420 | X916 | 916.30.10.346 | | R29 | 29.30.10.404 | R28 V2 | 228.30.10.231 | | R25 | 25.30.10.117 | R20 | 320.30.11.30 | | E18 | 18.30.10.247 | E16 V2 | 216.30.10.208 | | A08 | 108.30.11.8 | A01/A02 | 101.30.10.206 | | A03 | 103.30.10.204 | A094 | 92.30.10.205 | | A095 | 95.30.10.110 | S539 | 539.30.10.403 | | A05 | 205.30.11.114 | E16 V3 | 416.30.11.206 | **X912 version requirements:** - On-Premise: 912.30.11.34 or later - SmartPlus Cloud: 912.30.11.107 or later - Hikvision LPR camera integration (X912 only): 912.30.12.114 or later, regardless of deployment type. **Not sure if your project is On-Premise or Cloud-managed?** On-Premise projects are configured directly on the access device's local web interface. Cloud projects are managed and provisioned through SmartPlus/Smart Access Cloud. ## Step 1: Enable HTTP API on the Access Device 1. Navigate to the device IP in a browser. Log in with the username and password (admin/admin by default). 2. Go to **Setting > HTTP API**. 3. Enable the feature and set the **Authorization Mode** to **Allowlist**. 4. Set a username and password (you'll enter these on the camera side later). 5. Enter the camera's IP address. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/企业微信截图_17428715199244.png) 1. Click Submit. ## Step 2: Assign License Plates to Users You need to assign license plates to specific users for door opening. ### For On-Premise Projects See the [Compatibility](/v1/docs/integration-with-milesight-lpr-camera-for-door-opening#before-you-start) table above to confirm your device supports this feature. 1. Go to the **Directory > User** interface. - Click **+Add** to add a new user; - Click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-9777P2WI.png) to edit an existing user. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-L96OQ1TO.png) 1. In the **License Plate** field, enter the plate information. 2. Click **Add** to add more — up to 5 per user. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-9O7ARUHY.png) 1. Check the relay connected to the door lock and apply the schedule within which the user is allowed to open the door. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-A54DPFKQ.png) 1. Click Submit to save the settings. The door-opening log will be recorded on the **Status > Access Log** interface with **License Plate** as the access type. ### For Cloud Projects See the [Compatibility](/v1/docs/integration-with-milesight-lpr-camera-for-door-opening#before-you-start) table above to confirm your device supports this feature. When the device is managed via SmartPlus/Smart Access Cloud, license plates are issued from the cloud instead of being entered locally on the device. Depending on your project type, license plates can be added by: - **New commercial projects** (created after Oct 15, 2024). - Installers and project managers can add license plates via the [Smart Access Property Management Portal](https://knowledge.akuvox.com/docs/akuvox-smartplus-property-manager-portal-guide-office#smart-parking). - Administrators can add license plates via the [Smart Access Administrator Portal](https://knowledge.akuvox.com/docs/akuvox-smartplus-office-administrator-guide#add-personnel-one-by-one). - **Community projects**: Only property managers can add license plates via the [SmartPlus Property Manager Portal](https://knowledge.akuvox.com/docs/smart-parking#module-9-vehicle-management). - **Single-house projects**: End users can add license plates via their [SmartPlus App](https://knowledge.akuvox.com/docs/akuvox-smartplus-app-user-guide#open-the-garage-door). ## Step 3: Configure the Camera Once the access device is set up, configure your camera to send plate data to it. Find your camera brand below and follow that section. To set the camera, we need to use the following API. ### Milesight Camera 1. Use the camera IP to log into its web interface. 2. Go to **Setting > Data Transmission** interface. 3. Check the **Enable** box and set the HTTP Method to **Post**. 4.
