Before you start, make sure that you have installed Surveillance Station 9.1.4 or above.
Step 1.1. In Surveillance Station, go to the IP camera app. Right-click on the targeted camera and select Share stream path.
Step 1.2. Copy the RTSP stream path.
Step 1.3. Set up Plate Recognizer Stream (Refer to this guide).
Step 1.4. Edit the config.ini with the camera RTSP stream generated from the Surveillance Station (Refer to this guide).
Step 2.1. In Surveillance Station, go to the Action Rule app in Surveillance Station and create an action rule. Refer to this article for detailed instructions.
Step 2.2. Configure the settings on the Information page. Set the Rule type to Triggered.
Step 2.3. Modify the options in the Event page.
Step 2.4. Copy the webhook URL. You will need this URL later in the middleware configuration:
http://{YOUR_NAS_IP:PORT}/webapi/SurveillanceStation/Webhook/Incoming/v1?token={USER_DEFINE_TOKEN}
Note that this URL only works after you click Apply in the last step of adding the action rule.
Step 2.5. Modify the options on the Action page.
For example, when Plate Recognizer recognizes a plate “ABC1234”, it will send a webhook as below:
http://{YOUR_NAS_IP:PORT}/webapi/SurveillanceStation/Webhook/Incoming/v1?token={USER_DEFINE_TOKEN}&text1=”ABC1234”
When Surveillance Station receives it, the system creates a bookmark with “plate: ABC1234” as description on the specified camera.
Step 2.6. On the Schedule page, set up the timetable.
When Plate Recognizer detects a license plate, it sends the information to the middleware. The middleware then processes the information and forwards it to Surveillance Station.
Once you have the webhook URL from the Surveillance Station Action Rule, follow the Synology REST Protocol Middleware setup using that URL as the REST_SERVICE_URL value.
