Anpr Software

Recommended Posts

Has anyone used ANPR via standard cameras? It seems to work ok with enough light and stationary or slow moving cars.

I've seen it used at petrol stations but can't find much info on the web.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards,

TB.

Which engine are you using?

I went up into the attic...I found a Stradavarius & a Picasso. Unfortunately.....

Stradavarius couldn't paint, and Picasso made a shocking fiddle.

I'm not using anything at the moment. I have a customer who wants to count vehicles through his premises and was hoping to adapt his existing CCTV system to do this.

Point to point IR beams ?

Don't know what it's called but how about the pneumatic 'thing' that you drive over at garages ?

I would have thought one of these connected to a counter of some sort would be more reliable and cost effective ?

Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

I considered that but a conventional counter - tripped pneumatically or by two IR beams - won't do the job due to the layout of the premises. Also, he wants the information to be available remotely so that he can access it from any PC as with the CCTV system, therefore the idea of ANPR came up.

Just an obvious thought.....

If he wants to know how many cars are using his pumps then he can gauge this from his EPOS through the transaction log? Dont tell him though, you might lose a sale!!!

With regard to camera's, you can use any type of camera really but the Derwent REG cameras spray IR on the numberplate to reflect the letters and it also has a filter for dealing with headlights where the IRIS cannot adjust.

With standard cameras, in a forecourt environment, the light is pretty constant so they can get away with it but if you need to record at night or a dimly lit area, you need the IR backup to view the plate!!!

It's not a petrol station; it's an indoor hand car wash so no EPOS. The lighting is good so headlights shouldn't be a problem except on the odd Volvo.

He wants to log vehicles so he can match throughput with revenue. That's why I was interested in a 'bolt on' solution using the existing system albeit with the addition of one or two extra cameras specifically to capture plates.

We install ANPR systems.......

I've posted about them before: http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/comm...st&p=163109

If you want guaranteed results use Derwent: http://www.derwentcctv.com/home/index.php?...5&show=true

alternatively contact Norbain and ask them about the Vista ANPR software.

I thinkI have a plan.

Nice lady called Kirsty at Norbain suggested a simpler and cheaper solution.

Thanks for your input.

TB

well go on then, WHAT simpler and cheaper solution - or have we all got to ring the nice Kirsty?

Agree about the derwent cameras. Top notch performance. 99% hit rate over 8 lanes. Has anyone else invented their own method of evaluation for NAAS 3 compliance?

PIPS Spike II is the mutz nutz.

I simply must know what Kirsty said. Come on Tallbloke! <_<

I would very interested to find out.

You cant beat a bit of Derwent for ANPR cameras, all other are just boys in a mans world!!!

They do also produce the Vista ANPR camera as an OEM for Norbain but they told me that they scrimped on a few features to bring the price down so its not on a par with the original.

If you are looking for a system package though, try Videofit at http://www.videofit.co.uk. They have a fab product and Derwent have also designed a camera for them.

Let us know how you get on.

Kirsty suggested a beam pair connected to an LED counter in view of a camera. Less accurate due to the layout but way cheaper to install and serviice.Sorry. Just got a wii.
