Playa de Aro reduces crimes with IP video surveillance and license plate recognition

The local police of this tourist municipality located on the Costa Brava, in the province of Girona, has dealt with the criminal acts of organized gangs, mainly in summer, with the deployment of a license plate recognition solution with Axis cameras and alert management of the Alphanet Security Systems platform.

Aro Beach (Platja d'Aro) has been postulated as one of the pioneering populations in Spain by deploying a complex and advanced network video surveillance system to reduce the crimes that mostly occur in the summer season, with the increase of the population -of up to the 119%- you will enjoy this tourist environment.

The project is based on the technology of reading license plates through IP cameras of the manufacturer Axis, that has not only allowed the correct intervention of the security forces in cases of incidents, but facilitates the identification of suspicious vehicles and the prevention of possible crimes, which has resulted in a significant reduction, up to the 30-40%, of the criminality in this municipality, depending on the type of crime, generating greater tranquility and security in the population.

Alphanet Security Systems, company specialized in citizen security systems and axis partner, has been in charge of deploying this local security project in the different accesses and key points of the Catalan municipality, as well as at the entrances and exits of different residential developments.

The video system is composed of 47 axis model P1354 cameras, that offer specific and suitable parameters for the reading of license plates and optimal results in Wimax communications environments, which are key to this type of project, as explained from the integrating company.

The distribution and installation of these devices in network has been carried out in access points of the city, as well as at the entrance and exit of residential developments. The system performs a license plate reading, generating a real-time alert in case it is registered in the lists of vehicles of police interest.

With this, the notice reaches the local police control center, dependencies and their official vehicles with relevant data such as registration number, Photographs, place of detection and direction of travel, to achieve a rapid and effective intervention in situations of thefts, Thefts, scams or vandalism.
