Smart traffic camera with onboard ANPR software

The new SmartCAM ANPR camera

– This cost-effective third generation ANPR camera combines high quality imaging with onboard plate recognition. The SmartCAM family includes a wide range of models: in some variants the dual sensor dual lens design serves to further enhance number plate recognition accuracy, in others it functions as an Overview camera.

The camera runs 4 pre-installed plate recognition engines by default, which covers most common license plates worldwide. SmartCAM recognizes plates very fast, partly because of parallel multi-core operation, partly due to an integrated vehicle detection algorithm that preselects the relevant images for the ANPR module. Perfect imaging is assisted by built-in smart illumination that also has a synchronized flash mode which guarantees the the recognition of reflective and non-reflective number plates at the same time. Precise location data is provided by the camera’s optional GPS, and https remote access is possible via the 4G/LTE add-on. At the end of the process the camera provides the requested data by exporting the events in the form selected by the user. In effect, it is a true stand-alone traffic solution. SmartCAM’s advanced technology is encased in a tough IK10 & IP67 industrial grade housing for enhanced protection.

SPECS: SPECIFICATIONS

SmartCAM combines ANPR/LPR camera, IR illumination, 4G modem and IP communication capability, GPS, data processing and (optional) Doppler speed radar in a single IP67 rated unit. The device automatically performs time synchronization (NTP) and image capturing in 30 FPS in any weather and light condition. Its built-in motion detection with extensive masking option, ONVIF compatibility, JPEG image / MJPEG stream output and internal buffer, synchronized IR (or optional white) LED illumination provide ideal image capturing and control.

The camera’s extensive ability for traffic counting, analysis and to directly control external devices, such as speed radars, illuminators, barriers as well as its accessibility through the web makes the perfect unit for a wide range of applications.

A standalone traffic solution with ANPR/LPR

Providing superb plate recognition rates, SmartCAM serves as a standalone traffic solution – with onboard ANPR for road toll collection.	Certified average speed data can be generated by point-to-point speed measurement achieved by onboard LPR, plate matching plus time and location stamps.	ANPR/LPR by SmartCAM has a deterring effect by automatically recording customers’ license plates at a gas station – plus it may serve as a consumer statistics or marketing follow-up tool.
SmartCAM's on-board video analytics (including Vehicle Detection and Motion Detection) offers many advantages like efficient non-intrusive triggering.	Smart ANPR/LPR cameras can assure that ITS networks receive 24/7 live information about traffic conditions, congestions or accidents.	SmartCAM's onboard ANPR engine and an added gate controller makes it an ideal vehicle access control solution in all environments.
The camera increases road safety and boosts traffic morale by recognizing vehicle license plates which can be used as legal evidence.	Effective automated license plate reading can simplify border surveillance in all environments.	As a fixed camera, SmartCAM efficiently reads the license plate of offending vehicles caught at improper lane use or driving through red lights – in any weather or light condition.
