Dolly, the mobile ANPR system

Smart CCTV Ltd has launched an innovatively designed mobile ANPR ‘dolly’ for use in a variety of applications including car park crime, traffic surveys and journey time analysis. The ANPR Dolly releases the user from the constraints of a single location for CCTV monitoring; communicating over G3/GPRS mobile telephony infrastructure and battery powered, it is fully deployable in any location at any time.

The ANPR Dolly comes in two variants:

Overt: this uses a very near infra-red illumination system that appears as a dull red flash to the driver of a car, warning him/her that the number plate has been captured. This illumination system is preferred in access control, sector speed control and security applications where the aim is to deter an unwanted action such as theft of vehicle from secure compounds.

Covert: this uses a longer-range infra-red illumination system that is invisible to the driver. This solution is preferred in applications like journey time analysis and traffic analysis where it is important not to distract the driver.

Applications for the new product are foreseen as: automated traffic surveys, car park surveys, car ‘shopper’ vehicle identification, de-moorage, journey time analysis, sector speed control, temporary access control.

ANPR Dolly is easy to set up at the roadside and has an industrial design to ensure reliable operation in even the harshest of UK weathers. Operating temperature range is –10ºC to +55ºC.

ANPR Dolly is a complete system comprising image acquisition, infra red illumination, embedded image processor, mobile communications and battery based power supply. Its dimensions are 600mm(L) x 360mm (W) x 1300mm(H). It can undertake processing of number plates up to 20 per second, increasing reliability through multiple reads of one vehicle. ANPR Dolly can interface with a range of database applications as well as web-based interfaces allowing access via PDAs and smart mobile telephones. Data can be transferred via TCP/IP, UDP, FTP, HTTP and DHCP protocols.

Further specifications or details about applications for the product can be obtained by contacting Nick Hewitson on 023 92 456560, or visiting www.smartcctvltd.com.
