517 Bosch Security Systems is now offering a solution for enhancing CCTV surveillance with Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR). The solution enables the company's 700 Series hybrid and network recorders to be integrated with the company's REG-Sentry ALPR system.

Licence plates can be searched automatically in the Divar 700 Series recorder, which will bring up the corresponding video of the vehicle captured together with associated metadata, giving the date and time the video was recorded.

311 Bosch claims REG-Sentry is one of the first automated vehicle access-control systems based on ALPR. Users can configure the system with specific license plate black/white lists, barring or enabling access for vehicles attempting to enter a secure site. It offers a flexible, user-friendly solution for a wide range of access-control applications, including private roads, car parks, gated communities, factories, warehouses, ports, offices, hospitals and schools.

Meanwhile, Bosch has announced an easy-to-use tool to calculate the storage needed to record video via its range of CCTV recorders. The updated storage calculator, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Bosch Security Systems online product catalogue at www.boschsecurity.com, offers easy storage calculation for the 400 Series video recorder; 600 Series video recorder (Divar MR); 700 series hybrid and network recorder and the DiBos hybrid recorder.

The storage calculator uses a number of advanced or basic settings, such as number of cameras, image resolution, images per second, audio recording, number of hours for recording, and retention time for IP and analogue cameras.
