Imaging specialist 1919 Perceptics is to install next generation licence plate readers at over 165 Canadian border primary vehicle inspection lanes, in a key contract awarded by the Government of Canada.

The 2MP Checkpoint licence plate reader offers technologically advanced features that provide personnel at border checkpoints with superior images with over 95 per cent licence plate read rate accuracy in all weather conditions, says Perceptics.
