Telemetry Tab

Telemetry reports provide crucial insights into the health and performance of the FVR-Mark4 units by monitoring various operational metrics. These reports are essential for troubleshooting and optimizing performance, allowing users to identify and resolve issues before they impact the system's functionality. By tracking data such as CPU usage, RAM capacity, temperature levels, and storage utilization, telemetry reports offer a comprehensive view of how efficiently a system is operating. Below is a breakdown of key telemetry reports and their functions.

View the Telemetry guide for more details on each available report.

Platelists Tab

The Vision plate list management feature helps ensure that the system can automate vehicle access based on predefined lists of license plates. An uploaded plate list ensures that these plates are recognized and granted access to the parking facility. Currently, the Vision portal offers whitelist and hotlist options, registered license plates cannot be denied access under the current setup. 

View the Platelist guide for more details. 

Plate Replacement 

Plate Replacement is used to correct erroneous license plate reads. If a recurring parker’s plate is consistently read incorrectly, contact Flash Support and provide both the incorrect and correct plate information. The support team will then set up the Plate Replacements to ensure accurate future readings.

Plate Replacement lists are located under the Site Configuration tab > Plate Replacement. Once a plate is added, it can be edited by all Vision portal users.
