The Rekor Edge solution comes with an accuracy rate exceeding 99% and is suitable for parking and law enforcement, the company adds.

Rod Hillman, chief operating officer of Rekor, says: “With Rekor Edge, we’re democratising vehicle recognition solutions by bringing a cost-efficient and user-friendly solution to potential markets.”

According to Rektor, the solution operates any 1080p-15fps with wide dynamic range and infrared night vision, capturing full motion surveillance video, plate reads, and vehicle characteristics in all weather conditions.

Scott Rutherford, Rekor’s executive vice president of innovation, says: “We are developing a family of products around this concept, with two more all-in-one systems and a universal edge device that will enable connection to any IP camera.”
