A new technology partnership between UK traffic enforcement systems supplier 7513 Videalert with digital video recording and video management software provider 7923 Wavestore will add to the level of interoperability between Videalert’s intelligent digital video platform and Wavestore’s video management software.

Developed for civil traffic enforcement, traffic management and community safety applications, Videalert’s intelligent digital video platform combines ANPR with video analytics using additional intelligence to track moving objects but only capturing those vehicles committing an offence.

The data is relayed to traffic control centres where operators can view live video images or review recorded images of any incident, using the Wavestore VMS. Data from the cameras can also be sent in real time to the traffic management control system for predicting average journey times and/or to the police via a certified BOF2 interface for crime prevention activities.
 
“The integration of our technologies fully complements and enhances our strategy for enabling the running of multiple CCTV applications using a single platform to preserve budgets,” commented Tim Daniels, sales and marketing director of Videalert.  “This new partnership will provide added value to our customers seeking an integrated approach for improving road safety and traffic flows as well as helping to reduce crime in our cities.”
