The London Borough of Enfield is deploying the latest digital ANPR system from 7513 Videalert as part of a major ongoing contract with OpenView Security Solutions Limited, the council’s incumbent provider of CCTV installation and support services and one of the UK’s largest independent security system integrators.  The system has already been installed at eight locations, where it has replaced the existing legacy NDI Recognition Systems equipment, and will be extended to a further fourteen locations across the borough as part of a total replacement and upgrade strategy.
 
This future-proofed platform uses the latest IP-based cameras and has been deployed at Enfield’s Public Safety Centre depot.  It uses sophisticated capture methods to deliver accurate vehicle plate read data to Police ANPR databases (BOFII and the latest Metropolitan Police Service database standard) for crime prevention as well as to traffic management systems (UTMC) to help reduce congestion.  
 
Videalert says Enfield will achieve significant cost savings through the system’s ability to simultaneously run a wide range of additional traffic management and community safety applications without having to procure multiple legacy point solutions. This could include the real time capture of vehicle information for improved predictability of average journey times and incident detection, utilising the same camera assets.
