Smart CCTV has announced a new, high resolution Vega camera for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). The Vega Long Range is able to read number plates up to a maximum of 25 metres away, much further than previously achievable. It has a resolution of 1024 x 738 pixels and a powerful image processor that enables reading of up to 20 plates per second.
Manufactured by Tattile, the Vega Long Range is a smart camera system with built-in illumination and optical character recognition (OCR) software, encased in a waterproof, IP66 rated housing. No external PC is required for image processing. It comes complete with infra-red lighting that enables it to read number plates day or night, in direct sunlight, poorly lighted areas and in the dark.
With its low voltage and 8W power requirements the Vega Long Range can stand alone in any location, running on battery, solar or wind power. Nick Hewitson, managing director of Smart CCTV, said: “The Vega Long Range is ideal for free-flowing traffic scenarios, such as on motorways or slip-roads. If vehicles are traveling close together at around 70 mph, then you need a fast processor that can ‘pull’ that number plate in time.”
