SVS-Vistek unveils ultra-high resolution camera

SVS-Vistek is showcasing a new, ultra-high resolution camera capable of taking photographs of up to 120 megapixels for ANPR purposes. The camera’s resolution is so great that it can be placed some distance from the scene – at the top of a high building, for example – and carry out ANPR surveillance over several streets simultaneously. Speed or red light enforcement are among the potential uses. The typical range of cameras used for ANPR purposes is five to 20 megapixels.

The camera’s resolution is so great that it can be placed some distance from the scene – at the top of a high building, for example – and carry out ANPR surveillance over several streets simultaneously. Speed or red light enforcement are among the potential uses. The typical range of cameras used for ANPR purposes is five to 20 megapixels.

“I’m not aware of any similar cameras,” said SVS-Vistek technical marketing specialist Stefan Waizmann. “I don’t know of any other ANPR solution like this.” The new camera was launched in December 2017. “We know other people are working on solutions like this, but right now there are no solutions with this kind of high-resolution cameras on the market.”

The new camera has been highly successful, with significant numbers sold, said Waizmann. It is “extremely robust”, capable of operating in extremes of temperature and imposes a very low system load on the accompanying computer system.

    Ride-hailing and taxi drivers could face tougher criminal checks in England
    Drivers who ply their trade on apps such as Uber could be under greater scrutiny as part of proposals being put forward by the UK government. The potential risk to passengers from the explosion of ride-hailing apps, as private-hire drivers are perceived to receive less thorough vetting – for example, to flag up past convictions – has long been argued. Incidents such as the murders of passengers by a Didi driver in China heightened such concerns - although critics point out that a US Uber driver who ad
