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.

Power and communication are transferred via a power-over- Ethernet plus (PoE+) connection and its varifocal lens can be adjusted to optimise image capture. Highdefinition ALPR and context cameras coupled with onboard processing enables the SharpV to detect and read licence plates, the vehicle make and direction of travel.
