NDI Recognition Systems has launched the ST200, a new rapid deployment Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system designed for use in a wide range of covert and overt applications in both mobile and static modes.
The ST200 is a rugged, compact and portable ANPR system with wireless HSUPA (3G) and WiFi connectivity which can be deployed and operational within minutes. It features a powerful 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with a Windows operating system running high-speed frame grabbers and the Talon ANPR software, a proprietary neural network recognition engine that is claimed to deliver significantly higher performance and accuracy than OCR-based ANPR systems.
The system can handle four video inputs from two 'Dual' ANPR cameras providing full-colour contextual overview imagery and high-quality number plate capture using IR at speeds of up to four plates per second, significantly faster than other systems. Over 2 million time-stamped images and pre- and post-capture videos can be securely stored on the system along with local hotlists which are managed by direct connection to Web-based services such as BOF or the NDI-RS back office called VISCE.
