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.

    Monitoring traffic flows is set to become an even bigger challengebut a revolution in camera technology can help, as Patrik Anderson explains. By 2025 almost 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas and in those cities there will be an estimated 6.2 billion private motorised trips every day. In order to manage this level of traffic growth, traffic management centres (TMCs) will need to both increase their monitoring capabilities and be able to detect traffic problems quickly, efficiently and r

It is a prime example of how, instead of having to start from scratch, the transportation sector can leverage and adapt the machine vision expertise already used in industry in order to provide robust solutions with new capabilities. “The real val

Euresys now provides a less expensive and seamless upgrade path with the Picolo.net HD4. “This allows users to connect four HD-SDI/HDcctv cameras through at least 100m of coaxial cable to a video surveillance IP network. It’s easy to integrate into video surveillance systems as it features an ONVIF Profile S-comp
