VaxALPR On Camara integration
Version 1.0 – May 2017
1. Introduction
This guide has been designed for those responsible of integrating the VaxALPR On Camera
software with Axis Camera software.
The VaxALPR On Camera software is a real-time solution for Automatic License Plate
Recognition (ALPR) that runs entirely within the Axis camera.
2. VaxALPR On Camera and Axis camera events
The VaxALPR On Camera software can be integrated with Axis camera events.
An Axis camera event is a set of conditions (action rules) that define how and when an action
will be performed. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them must be met to carry out the
action. An event can be triggered or scheduled.
When integrated, every time a license plate is recognized, VaxALPR On Camera sends a VAPIX /
ONVIF event to the Axis Camera. VaxALPR On Camera can send three different types of events:
-
ALPR: This event is sent each time a license plate is recognized.
Blacklist: This event is sent each time a license plate on the blacklist is recognized.
Whitelist: This event is sent each time a license plate on the whitelist is recognized.
NOTE: The Axis Camera firmware version should be 5.80 or above if you want to use it with the
VaxALPR On Camera software.
The VaxALPR On Camera software should be configured before Axis camera events.
2.1 Configure VaxALPR On Camera software: VAPIX / ONVIF events
Once the Axis camera is installed and setup, and the basic configuration of the VaxALPR On
Camera software is done, we need to configure the send VAPIX / ONVIF events in the reporting
options of the VaxALPR On Camera software.
To configure the send VAPIX / ONVIF events in the VaxALPR On Camera software, we
recommend the following steps:
1. Access the Axis camera’s setup and click on the Applications menu. Then click on the
VaxALPR On Camera > Settings option. Finally, click on the Main page link. This opens a
window with the VaxALPR Configuration Screen.

2.2 Add Axis camera events
Once the Axis camera is installed and setup, and the VaxALPR On Camera software is
configured, we need to add the Axis camera events.
There are several options when it comes to creating an event. NOTE: Access the Axis camera’s
setup and click on the Events menu. Please refer to the Axis Network Camara manual by
clicking on the
button situated in the upper right corner.
In our case, we want to raise a barrier when the VaxALPR On Camera software recognizes a
vehicle in the whitelist. To do this, we recommend the following steps:
1. Access the Axis camera’s setup and click on the Events menu. Then click on the Action
Rules option and the Add button.

3. VaxALPR On Camera and Axis A1001 Network Door
Controller
The VaxALPR On Camera software can be integrated with the Axis A1001 Network Door
Controller.
The Axis A1001 Network Door Controller is an IP-based access controller suitable for both
small to mid-sized businesses. Axis A1001 comes with built in software for basic access
management and is also open for third party software.
When integrated, the license plates recognized by VaxALPR On Camera are sent in real time to
the Axis A1001 Network Door Controllers. Axis A1001 grants or denies access depending on
the user’s credentials.
NOTE: The Axis Camera firmware version should be 5.80 or above and the Axis A1001 Network
Door Controller should be 1.57 or above if you want to use them with the VaxALPR On Camera
software.

3.1 Configure the Axis 1001 Network Door Controller
Once the Axis camera is installed and setup, and the basic configuration of the VaxALPR On
Camera software is done, we need to install and configure the Axis A1001 Network Door
Controller. Axis A1001 can be configured with the Axis Entry Manager or any third-party access
management solution integrated with Axis A1001. In this case, we are going to use the Axis
Entry Manager.
The Axis Entry Manager is an access management solution for small to mid-sized businesses. It
consists of one or several Axis A1001 Network Door Controllers with access management
software.
When configuring the Axis A1001 with the Axis Entry Manager, we recommend the following
steps:
1. Access the Entry Manager. IMPORTANT: The Axis A1001 Network Door Controller
should be installed and setup before continuing. Please refer to the Installation guide
at https://www.axis.com/global/en/products/axis-a1001/support-and-documentation.
2. Once the Axis A1001 is setup, click on the Access Management menu.

7. VaxALPR On Camera and Axis Camera Station
The VaxALPR On Camera software can be integrated with the Axis Camera Station.
The Axis Camera Station is a video management system for both small to mid-sized
installations which is optimized for Axis’ network video products.
When integrated, every time a license plate is recognized, VaxALPR On Camera sends a VAPIX /
ONVIF event to the Axis Camera Station. VaxALPR On Camera can send three different types of
events:
-
Analysis/ALPR: This event is sent each time a license plate is recognized.
Analysis/Blacklist: This event is sent each time a license plate on the blacklist is
recognized.
Analysis/Whitelist: This event is sent each time a license plate on the whitelist is
recognized.
The VaxALPR On Camera software should be configured before the Axis Camera Station.
