BOSCH LP imager

Bosch Security Systems has introduced Dinion capture for consistent, high-quality images of vehicle license plates at speeds up to 225 kilometers (140 miles) per hour. Using advanced optics, the company claims it obtains clear, legible plate images up to nearly 30 metres away even in dark conditions, enabling accurate vehicle identification. Available models include analogue versions or IP imagers that feature ONVIF conformance for seamless integration with customers’ existing surveillance infrastructures.

517 Bosch Security Systems has introduced Dinion capture for consistent, high-quality images of vehicle license plates at speeds up to 225 kilometers (140 miles) per hour. Using advanced optics, the company claims it obtains clear, legible plate images up to nearly 30 metres away even in dark conditions, enabling accurate vehicle identification. Available models include analogue versions or IP imagers that feature ONVIF conformance for seamless integration with customers’ existing surveillance infrastructures.

The new imagers feature the Night Capture Imaging System, which delivers a burst of infrared illumination while simultaneously filtering out visible light. This technology ensures clear license plate images in complete darkness while also eliminating the negative effects of headlight glare.

Up to six adjustable modes allow customers to optimise the imager for capturing plates specific to their local region. This feature also allows for fine-tuning for specific license plate recognition algorithms or for configuring automatic mode changes in varying ambient light.

    IR’s invisible benefit for traffic surveillance and enforcement
    Advances in vision technology are enhancing traffic surveillance and enforcement applications. Variable lighting conditions have long been a stumbling block for vision technology applications in the transport sector. With applications such as ANPR, the read-rate may vary between daylight and night and can be adversely affected by glare and low sun. Madrid, Spain-based Lector Vision had these considerations in mind when designing its Traffic Eye ANPR system, which combines off-the-shelf and custom hardware
