547 Vicon Industries has released ViconNet Version 6, the latest version of its open-platform video management software that offers full support for H.264 encoding and is compatible with a wide range of third-party network and megapixel cameras. According to the company, its support of ONVIF standards provides users with many options for integration with consumer off-the-shelf network video and computer hardware.

A new Web browser interface allows users of ViconNet V6 to view live and recorded video from any PC, without the use of special software or plug-ins. Other additions with V6 include a unique video vault feature that allows for more efficient use of long-term storage and an archive wizard that makes it easy to create authenticated archives that play back on any PC using the embedded player. ViconNet V6 is available as a software-only solution or may be ordered pre-loaded onto NVRs, workstations or hybrid DVRs.

Vicon has also expanded its line of high-performance PTZ camera domes to include the Surveyor HD, a 1.3 megapixel model which provides a choice of H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG encoding options. The new unit, which combines a powerful day/night megapixel camera, equipped with x18 optical zoom, is available in indoor, outdoor, pressurised and maximum-security models. The company claims the camera offers four times the resolution of standard-definition cameras with the benefits of 360o continuous rotation, a wide range of programmable features, exceptional zoom, focus, pan and tilt speeds, and preset accuracy. The camera's ONVIF open architecture allows for integration with a wide range of video management solutions.

    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
