545 Genetec has announced the availability of Omnicast, its IP video surveillance system, for onboard mass transit applications. Omnicast - the video surveillance system of the Security Center, Genetec's unified security platform - is the only system of its type certified as an approved product from the United States 1742 Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

According to Genetic, there is now no need to have disparate or partially integrated video systems for fixed and mobile surveillance. Mass transit authorities can deploy Omnicast as their single video platform throughout their terminals and onboard their fleet of vehicles, using one interface to seamlessly manage all cameras in their transit operations. Other advantages include its native IP capabilities for real-time video monitoring and automatic video transfer via wireless connectivity over WiFi or cellular networks.

    The continuing, favourable performance-versus-cost situation concerning detection and monitoring technologies is driving the proliferation of intelligence across road networks. The effective and safe management of intersections is a focus for network operators and systems manufacturers alike. The most complicated of road environments, and statistically among the least safe, intersections enjoy particular emphasis in longer-term work on cooperative infrastructure solutions. However there are current developm

    New enforcement equipment is coming onto the market apace, as Colin Sowman discovers. If there is one word that epitomises the current trend in enforcement technology then that word is consolidation: multi-function cameras, miniaturisation and combining radar and visual detection methods. One example is Turkish company Ekin Technology’s recently introduced Micro Plate is claimed to be the smallest licence plate recognition device. In addition to logging licence plate data, the system records speed, date, ti

    Here’s your chance to, literally, get your hands on a Stalker LidarCam 2 at the company’s booth. It is an advanced handheld device that combines Lidar, a camera for recording both video and still images, and built-in ANPR/ALPR licence plate reading technology. This gives the user the most complete, accurate, and indisputable photo and video evidence available. It also features an industry-leading 8.4 MP High Dynamic Range (HDR) camera sensor that allows it to perform well even in lower-lighting conditions.

    What future is there for automatic number plate recognition? Will it be supplanted by electronic vehicle identification, or will continuing development maintain the technology's relevance? In recent years, digitisation and IP-based communication networks have allowed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to achieve ever-greater utility and a commensurate increase in deployments. But where does the technology go next - indeed, does it have a future in the face of the increasing use of, for instance, Dedi
