LPR camera for fixed applications

AutoVu Sharp VGA from Genetec, a new Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) camera with onboard processing, is a lowercost, alternative version of the Sharp XGA, designed for applications where vehicles are moving at moderate speeds and the area where the vehicle plate will be seen is well defined, such as at a toll gate entrance.
