Part 3: Handheld Set-Up

Once your hardware is set up, you'll use the OPS-COM Parking Enforcement app on a handheld device. The app has already been installed on your handheld device and the printer has also been paired.  If your printer wasn't purchased through us, refer to this wiki article.

• Connecting to the PL8RDR Network: The PL8RDR broadcasts a Wi-Fi network named pl8rdr.opscom. You'll need to connect your device to this network to scan plates. The password for the network is T0maha3k.
  
• App Login: Select the OPS-COM Parking Enforcement app on your device and log in using your OPS-COM admin username and password.
  

You are ready to test it out!

• Searching for Vehicles: You can search for vehicles using three methods: typing the plate number, using voice command, or using the LPR camera with OCR technology.
  
• E-Chalking (Virtual Chalking): This feature electronically tracks how long a vehicle has been parked. It creates a time-stamped image of the license plate and the entire car, which can be attached to a violation. The chalked image is saved with the violation unless you delete it.
  
• Issuing Violations: You can issue violations to a person or a vehicle. The system will perform a secondary check and issue a warning if a plate has a valid permit, but it will still allow you to proceed with the violation at your discretion.

If you have any issues refer to the troubleshooting guide on this page!
