These cameras are mainly used by the Police for detection of crime and terrorism, they can be hard wired back to the control equipment, or alternatively they can be connected using the latest encrypted radio links, these can achieve long distances providing there is line of site

 

   

Police

PIPS Technology has incorporated the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology into fixed, mobile and portable systems, for the Police Service. The results have been impressive with officials now able to automatically capture, recognise and match vehicle number plates against vehicle records such as DVLA, VOSA, PNC, PNC ID and numerous Intelligence databases.

Main Applications include:

  • Fixed – Permanent Installation such as a force control room, police station operations room or a commercial 3rd party partnership CCTV installation.

  • Mobile ANPR – In-car solution to capture number plates and compare to databases to produce a HIT

  • Fully Portable – A self contained system which is able to be moved easily from vehicle to vehicle, or used within a building for operations or in a roadside deployment.

   

Auto Plate Secure

With proven experience in ANPR software, PIPS has developed the next generation of ANPR software to provide information at all times and under all conditions for round the clock operation.

PIPS Auto Plate Secure has been developed for access control and car park management. PIPS easy installation means minimum fuss and no need for complex additional equipment. As a number-plate enters the field of view of the camera, PIPS state-of-the-art software performs instant recognition and creates an event log. It can trigger other security equipment such as barriers to allow access to known vehicles.

Auto Plate Secure allows the operator to search the image for a registration number and then displays all the entry and exit information for that vehicle. The database can be searched by date to show all traffic information for that day and over a specified time period.

PIPS Auto Plate Secure can integrate with 3rd party access control hardware and can interface with any camera source irrespective of whether local or remote. It has the ability to monitor multiple lanes and multiple sites both local and remote and has the facility for remote database administration.
