2207 Elsag North America Law Enforcement Systems has unveiled a new and vastly improved camera for its Mobile Plate Hunter (MPH-900), an automatic license plate recognition system currently in use by over 400 agencies in 30 states across the US. The more slender camera is 43 per cent smaller than the existing one, allowing it to be placed alongside or in virtually any light bar on top of police cruisers.

The company has also announced upgrades for its operations centre software which will more efficiently process the data obtained by the numerous MPH-900 systems in the field.

    April 20, 2016
    Amsterdam had taken the final step in digitising parking and parking enforcement and the move is paying dividends. It was almost a decade ago that the City of Amsterdam decided to start the evolution - or maybe even a revolution – of its parking enforcement: it got rid of the paper parking permit or ticket behind the windscreen and introduced the digital parking right.
