LPR Audit Log

The LPR Audit Log allows administrators to view and track License Plate Recognition (LPR) camera and chalking events. Its primary purpose is to help monitor entry, exit, patrol, and tracking activities across the parking system. This article is intended for OPS-COM administrators responsible for monitoring LPR activity and auditing vehicle movements.

Setup and Configuration

There is no specific setup or configuration required to use the LPR Audit Log, provided your administrative user role has the appropriate permissions to view LPR and violation data.

Using this Feature

The LPR Audit Log provides a centralized view of all LPR-related events, along with filtering tools to help you find specific records.

  1. Hover over Violations and click LPR and Chalking then View Audit Log.

  2. Review the initial screen to see the default audit log display.

Event Type Definitions

When filtering by Event type, you can select from the following five categories:

  • Any Event: Displays all recorded LPR actions across the system.

  • Entry Events: Displays records of vehicles entering a monitored area.

  • Exit Events: Displays records of vehicles exiting a monitored area.

  • Patrol Events: Displays LPR chalking records captured by a Patrol Officer using a handheld unit.

  • Tracking: Displays records from cameras configured to track internal movement, such as a vehicle moving from one floor of a multilevel parking garage to another.

Best Practices and Considerations

  • Targeted Filtering: Use the Camera selection and Event type filters combined to quickly drill down into specific data. This is particularly useful in high-traffic environments where searching without filters may yield an overwhelming number of results.

  • System Monitoring: Regularly review the audit log to verify that both stationary LPR cameras and handheld units are successfully capturing and transmitting data to the system.

  • Handheld Unit Data: Keep in mind that Patrol Events are directly tied to the actions of officers on the ground. Auditing these specific events can help verify patrol routes and coverage times.
