US-based 545 Genetec has launched AutoVu SharpV, a new fixed-position automatic licence plate recognition (ALPR) camera with onboard processing.

The SharpV-ITS model will offer a solution specifically targeted at the intelligent transportation sector and it can be tied into citywide video surveillance systems to improve forensic investigations, controlling access and managing off-street parking facilities.
