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 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.
