The most affordable ALPR system. You know about the power of Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), but are concerned about the cost. On your limited budget, how many systems you can implement? Will it provide sufficient coverage? Now, Panasonic and PlateScan have combined to offer the most affordable ALPR system yet available. And, only through Panasonic’s reseller network can you get this advanced system (SYS-P-1). It is the most cost effective way to deploy a multi-vehicle ALPR system. The system includes the powerful PlateScan ALPR software loaded onto an existing Panasonic Toughbook. Connected to a visor-mounted color camera, your existing MDC runs license plates while your officer conducts his usual work. The Toughbook-based system will be enabled to constantly scan license plates, comparing them automatically against multiple local, regional, state and federal databases of interest to law enforcement. Officers will be alerted audibly and visually when a positive match is made so that appropriate action can be taken. Included in the SYS-P-1 package is PlateScan’s software and operating manual, PlateScan’s ALPR color camera, a camera visor mount, and PlateScan’s switch/interface box. Every license plate scanned by the system is also date, time and GPS encoded when a GPS device is deployed. This data can be downloaded wirelessly, or by memory stick if wireless capability is not available. The data can be consolidated on a single server searched and analyzed using PlateScan’s powerful CrimeConnect suite of crime information management tools for post-incident investigation or other requireme How does ALPR work? Every license plate passing the camera’s field of view is scanned and compared to a list of “vehicles of interest” associated with auto theft, felony warrants, BOLOs, parking violations, or any other license plate-oriented database, such as Amber Alerts, NCIC, CAD/RMS data extracts, gang members, sex offenders, etc. that the police agency wishes to use. The intelligent Neural Network-based color recognition engine is able to read both reflective and non-reflective plates, as well as license plates from states that use red characters, often unreadable in infrared light. Therefore, typical criminal counter measures are not able to defeat ALPR vehicles equipped with PlateScan color recognition cameras. This major technological advantage firmly positions PlateScan as the premiere License Plate Recognition company in the US. PlateScan is also available in many other configurations both for mobile and permanently fixed installations. Contact your participating Panasonic reseller for more information and pricing.
