Advanced Camera Solutions has launched the Autofocus NNP (Number Plate Processor) which has been designed to allow number plate recognition from any existing analogue cameras, whether black and white or colour. The company says this provides existing CCTV systems with a powerful added function at low cost with virtually no added infrastructure costs.

The Autofocus NNP takes any quality camera feed and will extract the number plate data in real time. Any number of these systems can be deployed in parallel allowing easy system growth as required. Export of the number plate data is via RS-232 or TCP-IP. The SDK allows interfacing with any database or external operating interface. The unit will read number plates from the front, the rear, or both, and is supplied with a free choice of countries from the European Union.
