ANPR With Multiple Camera Platforms
For many projects the most effective solution is straightforward: modern ANPR smart cameras connected to a suitable management platform such as Dahua DSS or Luxriot, using the appropriate software modules and licences. This provides a clean route for live operation, recorded video, vehicle events and search without adding unnecessary layers of software.
Where the requirement is more complex, Videcom's in-house integration capability allows us to work beyond a single manufacturer or camera type. Existing and new ANPR technologies can be brought together so that useful infrastructure can remain in service while operators gain a more consistent way of working with the resulting vehicle data.
One ANPR Environment Across Multiple Sites
Using WAN connectivity, ANPR information from multiple sites, lanes and camera systems can be brought together centrally. Rather than forcing operators to work through separate manufacturer applications, Videcom can provide a unified database and client environment for searching and analysing vehicle movements across the wider estate.
Our ANPR integration work has included private housing estates, motorway toll booths, city car parks and recycling centres. Systems can range from a few lanes at one location to distributed networks where vehicle information needs to be available across many sites.
Search, Analysis & Vehicle Intelligence
Bringing ANPR data into a central database makes the information significantly more useful. Operators can search by vehicle, site, lane and time period, review individual transactions and investigate activity across multiple locations from a common client environment.
More detailed analysis can include frequent-user reporting, vehicle movement trends and cross-site journey or speeding analysis. The software and reporting can be tailored around the operational questions the customer actually needs to answer rather than being limited to the functions supplied with an individual camera.
Part of the Wider Security System
ANPR does not need to operate as a separate system. Vehicle information can be integrated with CCTV, video management, barriers, access control and other operational systems to provide a more useful workflow for operators and system owners.
This means a Videcom ANPR solution can be as simple as a smart camera serving a single entrance, or a much wider integrated system combining multiple sites, camera technologies, central data, video and customer-specific software.
