ANPR-CLOUD + TVT LPR Camera Integration Manual

1. Introduction

ANPR-CLOUD is a cloud-based Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR/LPR) platform that receives, processes, and analyses vehicle detection events from supported cameras.

The platform enables:

  • Real-time vehicle detection and logging
  • Hotlist / alert notifications
  • Vehicle movement tracking across multiple locations
  • Integration with intelligence platforms such as SecureMIND

By connecting your TVT LPR camera directly to ANPR-CLOUD via HTTP POST, detections are streamed in real-time to the cloud without requiring intermediate servers.

2. Requirements

Before starting, ensure you have:

  • TVT LPR Camera (with HTTP POST / API support)
  • Camera accessible on your network
  • Camera username & password
  • Internet connectivity
  • ANPR-CLOUD ingestion URL and API key

3. System Flow Overview

Flow Explanation:

  • Camera detects vehicle
  • Sends HTTP POST to ANPR-CLOUD
  • Data is processed and stored
  • Results visible in dashboard and alerts

4. Add Camera in ANPR-CLOUD

Before configuring your physical camera, you must first register it on the ANPR-CLOUD platform.

Step 1: Login

  • Use static IP or DHCP reservation

13. Tested TVT Models

Model Part Number Kernel Version Software Version Hardware Version Notes
TVT LPR Camera A TBD TBD TBD TBD Working HTTP POST
TVT LPR Camera B TBD TBD TBD TBD XML format differs
TVT LPR Camera C TBD TBD TBD TBD Requires keepalive

14. Network Architecture Diagram

15. Support

16. Summary

By completing this setup:

  • Cameras send detections directly to ANPR-CLOUD
  • Real-time intelligence and alerts enabled

ANPR-CLOUD transforms raw camera data into actionable intelligence.
