Hypersense Technology Incorporated in ANPR CCTV Cameras

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Dedicated Micros one of the leading company in the field of innovating alert systems and security systems proudly releases its unique HyperSense technology. This technology removes all unnecessary details in video to give you a clearer view, a valuable feature especially those that are engaged in monitoring security through CCTV camera systems. It is then therefore considered to be a beneficial addition to your CCTV Camera Systems. These unnecessary details include ambient light which then only leaves objects that strongly reflect the infrared light emitted by the integrated invisible IR LED pulse, which thus increase the capability of the CCTV camera system or the ANPR system to display clearer images. This technology completely eliminates glare from vehicle headlights and provides a crisp, clear image. This is a technology best applied to Automatic Number Plate Recognition as the glare reduction capability of the Hypersense technology will counter the effects of vehicles emitting such glares. This is a mass surveillance method that uses optical character recognition on images to read the license plates on vehicles. Dedicated Micros Automatic Number Plate Recognition optimised cameras speeds up ANPR computation and increases reader accuracy which would then assure the user or the authorities that the vehicles entering or passing through the watchful “eye” of the ANPR or CCTV camera system will not escape proper identification. There is then an increased speed, efficiency, and accuracy in capturing and recording vehicle license plates which guarantees the security of the company premises. This provides an advantage to solving crime and in going after criminals whose license plates can be discerned from captured camera footage.

This technology is ideal for CCTV Camera Systems that are used in places such as petrol forecourt monitoring and car park barrier control.  This range includes dedicated Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras which are best used to capture the plate detail of passing vehicles. In addition, the combined Automatic Number Plate Recognition /Overview cameras, can be used to associate the color images of the vehicles with their corresponding number plates a useful feature in order to efficiently identify whether or not the car had just changed color or plate number to avoid proper detection, a technique being used by unscrupulous people especially if and when the car or vehicle was used in the commission of a crime and is under police monitoring or surveillance.

There are many good features of this CCTV Camera Systems. This includes an extruded aluminum housing which weatherproofs the system to IP66. This means that it is completely dust proof and can withstand high pressure jets from all sides. There is also an integral LED array which has 850nm pulse synchronized with camera. The camera has 18-50mm F1.6 lens with auto-iris and a removable IR cut filter. The auto-iris lenses are used to produce consistent video signals from cameras that view scenes with varying light levels.  The IR cut filter is a color filter which blocks infrared light. This then achieves realistic colors in white light.  There is a 1/3″ sensor, sensitivity of 1.0 / 0.15lux (40 IRE), resolution 540TVL, and shutter speed of 1/1,000s.

Honeywell Releases Innovation on Video Management Technology

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Honeywell, a well-known leader in the video management and surveillance technology, proudly released its latest innovation in the field of video management technology. They now offer integration of legacy analogue video with IP-network cameras and recorders. This is also inclusive of advanced video analytics that allows you to view and analyse specific data gathered by your CCTV camera which then recommends a specific alert level depending on the images gathered by the said CCTV camera as analysed by the analytics program. You can now upgrade you CCTV Camera System to having this latest innovation in Video management technology. This does not mean that you have to discard your previous systems because the said video management technology was designed to be cost efficient thus not requiring a drastic change in the your whole CCTV camera system. You can instead integrate your traditional analogue systems and your newly acquired IP-network systems to ensure your continued use of your initial investments. What’s more, operators can now experience video security with maximum efficiency and little effort which can be attributed to the increase in automation as brought about the incorporation of the Video Management Technology into the CCTV camera system.

With Honeywell’s MAXPRO® VMS (Video Management System), you can control your CCTV Camera System, ANPR System and other sources of video subsystems in a single facility that collects, manages, and presents video clearly and concisely.

MAXPRO® VMS is ideal for establishments that require at-risk critical infrastructure protections. These can include airports, seaports, large multi-site commercial buildings, casinos, and such. This product is the perfect client-server video management solution for locations that require both digital and analogue technologies.

Your existing CCTV Camera System and Intruder Alarm System can now benefit from the added features of the MAXPRO® VMS which includes the following: numerous features and an easy to use interface which can be used to view video and devices from a single point, role-based operator privileges to carry out various surveillance actions, and an operator messaging feature which enables data sharing of incidents between operators. There is also the function of auto-discovery of cameras connected to Rapid EyeTM, Fusion and Enterprise recorders. User-defined macros can be used to work faster and more efficiently because these can be used to execute common operations. Video pursuit is also made possible by simplifying the process of motion detection through a set of surrounding cameras. Your Intruder Alarm System will definitely benefit from this.  Digital zoom of video from PTZ and fixed cameras, on the other hand, will improve your CCTV Camera System as it is able to gather clearer images for better identification of the perpetrator of the crime of for easy detection and analysis of the events that are currently transpiring which could contribute to the reduction of false alarms. Another important function is that you can investigate events and alarms by simultaneously viewing alarm videos at various stages such as pre-alarm, on-alarm, post-alarm, and also view live video from the camera which triggered the alarm.
