  1. Trust me! The number of service calls I have dealt with over the phone from first time installations 'hello mate the glowy red thing in the middle looks like it's bit hazy/flashing I think it's busted' It's getting people to under stand you can more effective illumination pulsing at high power than flooding! Also helps read quality and various other flexibility! We also get lot of service calls when people have asked for invisible spectrum IR fitted without knowing so a 920nm option complaining the lamp isn't on! Tel them to look at it through an IPhone camera and you can see it a dream often!
  2. Yeah ANPR needs a far whack from the illumination so they only way to manage this on the PcB and LED life is to pulse at very high rate but it's amazing how much power it reduces and heat! We have done sites with some great Raytec Vario flood IR but you need more of them in order to get the required illumination. Idle ANPR camera can draw about .8A at 12v but can surge to 2.8A when in full use on busy road so you have to be very prudent around power management
  3. Is there something I'm not getting on here? I'm being frank if anyone needs product advice around ANPR, installation and so on or long distance power transmission then please just ask. I'm just weary of the policy not sharing information that could be useful to people not of a trustworthy nature let's say in an open forum
  4. I hope I'm not getting stuck in a world of forum politics then The basics are a lot of ANPR images look completely black with shutter speed of 1/750-1/1600 a general default position and Your IR illumination range should between 750nm and 920nm depending if you want it visible or not! But the minute you step into the non visible IR range you loose a lot of you operational range. The Average circa 850nm ANPR camera can have an effective range of 50m firing on the IR then it's just making sure you have the right zoom and so forth on the overview and IR camera to take advantage of this. Most voltage operations are between 12v-15v but the can be a bit current consuming especially with the IR illumination and at night but also as the road gets busier. Most of the IR is pulse so to help manage power and heat
  5. Ok will do! Was hoping might find a ball park but if varies by region that never helps lol

  7. Any idea who best to ask about redcare costs, due to the nature of my work and equipment and data I now have to carry and store at personal address I'm having to install a new intruder alarm system and they want Grade 4 signalling, I'm looking at the Redcare Secure IP route. At my previous address I had a secure 2 which was costing me about £420 a year for monitoring,redcare and service contract. What sort of an uplift in cost would I be looking at for secure IP
  8. Superb thanks, do you think wireless is a safe option though? Especially for a monitored system is the false alarm rate low? Prone to interference accidental or hostil?
  9. Hello, basis is you fire IR at the plate within a fixed IR range, I won't go into finer detail as not best in open environment, the retro reflective nature of the plate reflects this IR back. The camera is a normally CCD but has a special cut pass filter on it (again not for open forum) the ANPR engine also requires the video feed to be of a specified shutter speed, frame rate and quality for accurate reads. This is open environment specific. However you can use ANPR just on standard CCTV however for reliability and accuracy obviously a tailored product is better. If you want more in depth detail and workings by all means shout me up anytime
  10. Oh and if anyone needs advice on slinging power long distances to drive CCTV and ANPR or anything DC powered or AC really ranging from 12v- 24v we have recently had some great successes and solutions sending DC over 100m distance still getting required voltages and stability! Found some superb solid state excellent power supplies to do this with voltage clippers at the other end and various other techniques have managed to solve real problems where routing and sourcing the correct power in hostile and awkward environments make it impossible to use standard solutions! Always happy to help and share!
  11. Being based more on the specialist ANPR side of the market and so forth, Intruder alarms wireless kit is it now secure enough and reliable enough stability built in encryption and very difficult to circumvent or are we still better of with cable ? Looked at some of the new Texe stuff but I'm still a bit wary of it all? I can see the install benefits but maybe it's just me nothing beats a good bit of copper!
  12. Hello to one and all, new member to the site, personally I'm a specialist in ANPR solutions both simple and complex bespoke encrypted systems on both digital and analogue side of the business. Further knowledge in CCTV and target hardening in hostile environments Railways and so forth. Do a lot of covert installation of detection systems and covert CCTV and the company I work builds and designs bespoke solutions for this. However I have a question regarding redcare costs I need answering if someone could help me out! If anyone needs help Or advice with any of the above ever just tap me up
