A stand alone ANPR surveillance system is on show from Appian – Stinger will be displayed at the IFSEC show on stand 3081, Hall 6.
The Stinger Intelligent ANPR Camera has cameras, illuminator and processor integrated in a single sealed unit.
The product recognises vehicle license plates then sends results using its integral communication interfaces. Options include GSM/GPRS or 3G, and 802.911g WLAN and 100Mbps Ethernet. Camera components are based on the CCTV firm’s Cobra Camera. Customers can select a range of camera and IR illumination options, including dual cameras and long range illumination options. Optical zoom means the system can be optimised to suit differing plate and environmental conditions at ANPR capture points. All camera settings can be controlled and adjusted remotely, in real time.
Environmental conditions
The processor is designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions including extreme temperature fluctuations, it is claimed. The processor is capable of handling up to four separate video inputs, each Stinger has the capability to connect and process imagery from a ‘slave’ Cobra dual ANPR camera.
The choice of Intel processor and Windows OS offers flexibility, it is claimed; additional electronic sensors, devices and applications can be readily. These include DSRC/RFID, speed and red light detection devices – all connected to and controlled by the ANPR product. The product requires minimal installation and its discreet appearance has little impact on the environment, it is claimed.
