This document also expose the product options and explain the items found on the pricelist in greater details.
VGA is slightly smaller and supports a lower resolution LPR sensor (VGA)
making it more cost effective for some applications.
To differentiate the external casing from previous generations, you can refer
to the mounting. This 3rd generation has a universal mounting that none of
the previous ones had.
Sharp EX — This unit is similar in size to the Sharp, but has no built-in
camera nor illuminator. It can take in two analog NTSC/PAL camera
streams to be analyzed by the license plate recognition (LPR) engine or an
LPR and a contect camera, similarly to the Sharp. We recommend using
specialised LPR cameras. External cameras are connected to the Sharp EX
via TNC connector. Standard BNC connectors are not sufficient to provide
environmental robustness specially for outdoor installation. A TNC-to-BNC
adaptor is very popular connector. Using this is not suitable for outdoor
SharpX camera and Sharp XS processing unit— This is the latest LPR
unit launched Dec 2014. It is composed by the AutoVu LPR Processing
Unit (also called SharpXS processing unit) which is the main LPR
processor and one to four SharpX cameras.
SharpX camera is offered with VGA and XGA resolutions. AutoVu LPR
Processing unit is offered in two level of CPU power: X1S and X2S. Best
analysis processing frame rate is 30fps but depending on the configuration,
the processing unit will not provided full frame rate analysis:
X1S processing unit has one processor board and can connect one (1) to
four (4) SharpX camera, VGA or XGA resolution. Yet it is limited to two
(2) Sharp X XGA cameras for full frame rate performances (i.e. full
speed). You can still use it for three (3) and (4) SharpX XGA cameras,
but the processing power will limit the frame rate to 10fps, i.e. 6mph or
10km/h. X1S can connect to 4VGA at full frame rate.
X2S processing unit has two processor boards and can connect one (1)
to four (4) SharpX cameras. Compare to X1S, it can connect four (4)
SharpX cameras at full frame rate (30fps) , i.e. full speed (220mph or
355km/h).
Generic Hardware
Choosing the proper lens, illumination, etc., is a technical task that not all are trained to do. Often, the customer
needs a quote ASAP and getting your sales engineer to do the field survey in time is not an option. This is why we
created the generic Sharp and SharpX camera items and the Sharp and Sharp X generic Kits. These item will
provide proper pricing and give your customer visibility on what is available.
We can also plan for the hardware to be on the shelf at the time of purchase and prevent shipping the wrong
configuration before the sales engineer has had a chance to finalize the configuration.
To summarize: When quoting a sharp, use the generic part numbers. The generic kits include all components
(camera, cable, mounting/adapter, processing unit) except power supply and when the client is ready to place
the PO, your sales engineer can help fill in the proper SKU.
There are two main generic Sharp cameras located on the Generic Hardware part of the price list. There are the
Sharp XGA and Sharp VGA. These generic camera part number are for cameras with universal mounting;
no cables or accessories are included (refer to generic kits for cable included part number). They are valid
whatever the color of the camera is (Be carefull, black versions need more lead times; you need to contact PLM
to get the lead time given your project).
Additionally to the main generic parts, you can also quote the generic Sharp XGA with Freeze option, which is
now included into the pricing and define a specific serial number. (Note that Sharp VGA is NOT available with the
Freeze option).

3.1.2 Generic Sharp X cameras for XS processing unit (aka “Sharp XS cameras”)
If you need to quote a Sharp XS system, and you do not know yet what camera specifications will be used, you
can still use the X1S and X2S processing unit part numbers and the generic Sharp X cameras for XS processing
unit part numbers.
There are four generic Sharp X cameras for XS processing unit located on the Generic Hardware part of the price
list. There is the SharpX XGA and the SharpX VGA, plus their freeze version. These generic camera part
numbers are only for cameras: no mounting, no cables, no processing unit are included. They are valid whatever
the color of the camera is (Be carefull, black versions need more lead times; you need to contact PLM to get the
lead time given your project).
There are three generic Sharp packages located on the generic parts price list. There are the Sharp XGA, XGA
with Freeze option, and the Sharp VGA kits. These generic packages include the Sharp camera with its universal
mounting and 10m fixed cable. They are valid whatever the color of the Sharp (Be carefull, black versions need
more lead times; you need to contact PLM to get the lead time given your project).

Hardware components
These components can be used to build a hardware fixed system or a mobile LAW/HOTLIST system. You may
use the AutoVu Building tool to help composing your package. (Refer to Pricing parts in Sales Tools)
1. Sharp camera is the first component to quote. It comes in a variety of models depending on its
characteristics:
- Six different lenses (8, 12, 16, 25, 35, 50mm)
- Three different illuminators (590, 780, and 850nm)
- Two different LPR sensor resolutions (XGA, VGA)
- Two different colors (The default is white and the special-order is black which is rarely requested and
incurs lead time.)
Below is the part number scheme for the Sharp line, 3rd generation. Please be advised that not all part
numbers are commercially available. For example, we only have a couple of models available in black.
The point is that this diagram can be used to interpret an existing part number, not to create a new one. If
you need a particular part that does not exist, please contact PLM.
AU-S-[Resolution]-[Color][Lens][Illumination]-U[-F]
Where
2. Sharp Cable is the second component required once the camera has been selected. Both network
connectivity and power are achieved through a Genetec proprietary water resistant cable available in a
variety of lengths. There are two standard cable links available for order including 10m and 25m.
If the user needs something shorter, he can cut and splice the cable with the included RJ45 connector.
For special applications, longer lengths may be available but are not standard offering. You should
contact your product manager to see if the required length is available but note delivery time may be
longer than the standard.
3. Power supply is the last component that you may need to add if the integrator does not provide one. The
power supplies we are offering are not weather-proof and they need to be contained inside a
weatherproof enclosure often referred to as a NEMA box. We do not supply the NEMA box. It is up to
the integrator or customer to create his own weather proof enclosure to contain the Power Supply.
[AU-H-PWRACINT-S] FIXE - Power Supply 110V/240V for Sharp camera (1 unit per Sharp)
for fixe installation
Power supply informations are provided in the sales tools and at the end of this guide.
All these parts, except the power supply, are included into the Sharp kits (refer to Section 5)
For Sharp XS installations there are four basic components that are required: (1) the processing unit, the (2)
Sharp XS cameras with their (3) mountings or mounting adaptors, the (4) cables and optionally the (5) power
supply.
1. Processing unit is the first component to take to compose your package. The processing unit comes in
two models referring to their processing power, i.e. capacity to handle one to four Sharp XS XGA
cameras. The processing unit kit contains the processing unit itself, the connectors, Ethernet cable and
both vertical and horizontal mountings, plus documentation to connect the unit and wire it.
[AU-X-XPU-X2S] SharpX system main processing unit X2S - Dual processor configuration,
including horizontal and vertical mounting, MPU connectors and ethernet
cable. (POWER SUPPLY NOT INCLUDED)
Refer to the design guideline to know which one to choose depending on the number of cameras you will
need to handle. You can also use the AutoVu Building System tool, provided in the Sales Tools to
compose the appropriate package.
2. Sharp XS cameras are the next component to select. Similarly to Sharp, SharpXS cameras come in a
variety of models and permutations. Various characteristics include:
- Five different lenses (8, 12, 16, 25, 35, 50mm)
- Three different illuminators (590, 740, and 850nm)
- Two different LPR sensor resolutions (XGA, VGA)
- Two different colors (The default white and the special-order black which is rarely requested and
incurs lead time.).
AU-X-[Resolution]-[Color][Lens][Illumination]
Where
Not all permutations are valid and offered. For instance, 590nm and 740nm are only available for 12mm
and 16mm lenses. Also you shouldn’t be using VGA 25mm.
To know which one to choose, please use the AutoVu Building System tool or refer to the Design
guidelines.
3. Sharp XS camera mounting is the third component required. Here are the mountings available.
[AU-H-XMNT-CAMH] SharpX camera hard mount mounting bracket - Pan Tilt (per
camera)
All these mountings are available in Black color. You just need to add –B to the part number to get the
black version.
4. Sharp-Processing unit Cable is the fourth component required. Both network connectivity and power
are achieved through a Genetec proprietary water resistant cable available in two lengths.
5. Power supply is the last component that you may need to add if the integrator does not provide one. The
power supplies we are offering are not weather-proof and they need to be contained inside a
weatherproof enclosure often referred to as a NEMA box. We do not supply the NEMA box. It is up to
the integrator or customer to create his own weather proof enclosure to contain the Power Supply.
[AU-H-PWRACINT-XS] FIXE - Power Supply for Sharp XS processing unit 110V/240V (1 per
Processing Unit) for fixe installation
Important Note: The Sharp XS kits DO NOT INCLUDE the power supply as this item can be very
different from a fixed and mobile installation, or could be provided by the integrator. You will need to add it
to your quote if required.
WARNING: the power supply we provide is the one required to be FCC and CE compliant as the
tests have been done with this one. If another power supply is used by the integrator, the CE or
FCC compliancy is not certified.
Power supply informations are provided in the sales tools and at the end of this guide.

AutoVu Kits
5.1 Sharp Kits
Historically, we are proposing many different Sharp kits that can be used to simplify your quotation. These kits
include the following parts:
The part numbers for these items are based on the same scheme as the Sharp cameras.
AU-K-[Resolution]-[Color][Lens][Illuminator]-U
Where
For instance [AU-K-XGA-W12850-U] refers to the White AutoVu Sharp XGA Camera Kit which includes Sharp
XGA camera with 12mm lens and 850nm illuminator, 10m cable and universal mounting.
There is no XS kits as is, as the multiplicity of composition would make it a too long list, and confusing. The
Generic Sharp XS kits is a first good start when you need to quote fixed or mobile applications and you can use
the AutoVu Building tool to get the list of required parts :
- Sharp XS camera (one to four cameras) with specific lenses, illuminators and resolutions
- Sharp XS camera mounting
- Processing unit
- Cables
- Optional power supply
Yet we offer mobile parking kits with XS processing unit as we know which camera resolutions, lenses,
mounting, processing unit, cables and accessories are required for those parking applications.
The mapping data inside the vehicle as this will change from quote to quote. In some cases mapping data
may not even be required (like MLPI for example).
The in vehicle laptop, as in some cases the client may have or provide his own, except for the street
weeper application.
Mobile Parking kit SKU are all formatted on the same basis as explained below :
AU-K-[ParkingApplication][Number of Cameras]XS-[Illumination]
Where
Parking Application could be either (please refer to Parking application software in Software guide
How to quote AutoVu Software)
o S for Scofflaw Application,
o U for University Application,
o C for City application,
o O for Overtime Application,
o I for Mobile Inventory application,
o W for street sweeper application.
Number of Cameras could be either 1 or 2
Illumination could be 590nm, 740nm or 850nm (590, 740, 850).
For instance [AU-K-C1XS-850] refers to the single white AutoVu SharpXS Camera Kit for City application which
includes one single SharpXS XGA camera with 12mm lens and 850nm illuminator, all wiring, brackets, GPS and
in-vehicle Patroller license plus backoffice mapping access (but not in-vehicle mapping).
Please refer to the complete description of the content of each kit in the quote tool or part list description.
These kits do NOT INCLUDE the in-vehicle mapping data nor the laptop and laptop mounting, except for
the sweeper kit that contains the Panasonic thoughbook (AU-K-PANACF19DUAL).
This table explains quickly what is included in each kit for mapping and positioning device.
Solution
Scofflaw City University Overtime Inventory Sweeper
It should be noted that all kits come with a hard mount option which means the Sharp XS cameras are
permanently mounted to the vehicle. In some cases clients may prefer to have a removable magnet mount option
(Au-H-XMNT-CAMU, see section 4.1) so that they can remove the cameras at the end of a shift for instance. To
get the magnet mount option instead of hard mount, they can use the part number [AU-H-XMNT-H2CAMU] to
convert the hard mounted to magnet mounted install. So in addition to the kit, you would order one [AU-H-
XMNT-H2CAMU] PER CAMERA.
