Genetec license plate recognition cameras for urban surveillance

Sharp and SharpX are the new Genetec cameras for license plate recognition that can be implemented in fixed installations or in moving vehicles. Some equipment that can be connected to video surveillance solutions, access control and video flows.

Genetec has unveiled the new generation of cameras for license plate recognition (LPR) based on IP networks of the AutoVu system. These are the Sharp and SharpX models that are capable of identifying license plates of a wide variety of vehicles., from different countries, and that have been designed to be integrated into fixed installations and to be placed inside vehicles..

Sharp camera provides sophisticated analytics at the edge and communicates over any wired or wireless network. Combine high resolution, independent context camera and in-vehicle processing.

This device allows you to extend your LPR coverage to areas with limited network connectivity, when combining the camera, processing and transmission equipment in one rugged unit. It can also be easily moved from one vehicle to another for mobile applications., which allows increasing operational time per camera. Besides, It is capable of detecting and analyzing license plates along two lanes of traffic.

Built according to IP67 standard, This camera has a sealed casing that protects it from the elements. LPR readings and results can be linked to access control credentials and video streams, increasing the information provided to operators through a single unified interface.

The SharpX provides accurate license plate reading in all types of situations, including at high speeds, difficult angles, night lighting and extreme atmospheric conditions. A device that provides XGA+ resolution and allows reading along three traffic lanes in mobile applications, being able to capture and analyze up to a thousand license plates per minute.

With this camera it is possible to cross-reference license plate readings with video surveillance files through Genetec's unified Security Center security platform..

SharpX harnesses processing power to deliver new configuration options. Up to four high-resolution camera units can be deployed on a single processing unit, which reduces equipment costs and simplifies installation and maintenance.

Mobile users can achieve almost 360° of LPR coverage, to capture more plates located around the vehicle. The SharpX is also available in a portable mobile kit, containing up to four chambers, a pre-wired processing unit and all necessary cables, allowing LPR equipment to be moved from one vehicle to another as needed.
