ANPR/LPR FROM VIDEO STREAM
CARMEN® GO ANPR solution
– Looking for a simple desktop app to transform any video stream into ANPR results? Now you can easily create your own system, without the need for ANPR integration. Capitalizing on our 27 years of in-depth background knowledge, we used smart engineering to save you time and effort. We have created the easy-to-use and intuitive CARMEN® GO, the plug-and-play ANPR application. Setup only takes a few clicks: link your live video stream input to CARMEN® GO and you will get car plate data directly from the stream. In fact, up to 8 streams can be connected to a single license.CARMEN® GO is a camera independent solution, since it can accept the streams of any IP camera from any vendor. CARMEN® GO uses the same industry leader CARMEN® ANPR engine that is at the heart of top ANPR/LPR systems around the world. At the same time, it offers the unrivalled benefit of self-adjusting settings to achieve optimal results. This is how we can make sure that CARMEN® GO produces the best possible result based on the given stream.
An innovative and extremely practical feature of CARMEN® GO is a purely image based vehicle detection (VehDet) algorithm. This self-learning mechanism has multiple functions. Firstly, it signals the presence of a vehicle in the stream for the ANPR engine. In practice, it makes other vehicle sensors – or triggers – unnecessary. VehDet saves time, costs and efforts. Secondly, VehDet assists the ANPR process by estimating vehicle position, license plate size, traffic direction, view of angle and plate distortion. These values are likely to remain constant for the given stream. Automatically optimized settings make ANPR faster and more reliable. A third advantage of VehDet is a no-lost-event operation. As the algorithm is seeking vehicle shapes rather than car plates in the video steam, it will be able to document passing vehicles with no plate, damaged plate or illegible plate.
CARMEN® GO is our most user-friendly Automatic Number Plate Recognition product yet. Discover more at www.carmen-go.com.

PLUG-AND-PLAY ANPR/LPR SOFTWARE
 Carmen® GO is the ideal easy solution to monitor and control license plate based GO vehicle access in different application areas like parking or congestion charging. |
 Fleet management, inventory control and consumer statistics are just a few uses that an easily installed Automatic Number Plate Recognition system like Carmen® GO can do at car rental agencies. |
 ANPR/LPR applications like Carmen® GO has a deterring effect – e.g. preventing leaving without paying – by automatically recording customers’ license plates at a gas station – plus it may serve as a consumer statistics or marketing follow-up tool. |
 Security is a key priority in residential areas – especially where access is not physically limited. Keeping track of passing vehicles is a way of increasing safety. |
 License plate recognition with Carmen® GO is an easy-to-install, easy-to-operate way for hotels to give priority to the vehicles of checked-in guests. |
 Complementing gates and barriers – or replacing them – License Plate Recognition (LPR) by Carmen® GO increases safety in private residencies. |
 Automatic Number Plate Recognition, also known as License Plate Recognition, is easily performed by the Carmen® GO application in school or university parking lots – to check parking lot use, to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic or simply to increase security. |
