Hanwha Wisenet WAVE Integration

We have two approaches to integrate ALPR with Hanwha Wisenet WAVE:

Approach #1

Stream On Premise. Run Stream on-premise and forward ALPR results straight into WAVE.

Result: Search and view vehicle plates and video footage inside WAVE. Manage site with ParkPow.

Approach #2

Stream Cloud. WAVE alerts Plate Recognizer of motion events. We then grab a short video clip to analyze for ALPR.

Result: See bookmark of plates inside WAVE. Manage site with ParkPow.

Plate Recognizer Hanwha WAVE Integration Approach 2

Approach #1: Stream to WAVE

See instructions on how to Install Stream on a Linux, Windows, Jetson or Raspberry Pi machine.

Then, run our Stream – WAVE integration software to forward Stream Webhook Events to WAVE as Alerts.

Watch a quick 3 minute video on the integration steps.

With our Stream-Wave integration, you can send Stream detection events to your Wisenet Wave server via a webhook.

This way, a bookmark with detection information is saved on the Wave timeline.

Later, you can search for the detections and locate the timeline where the detection occurred, view, or download the detection video.

Now, you can skip to Step 3.1 below to forward ALPR results over to ParkPow!
