Visec announces embedded License Plate Recognition using Hikvision Camera eliminating traditional hardware
Onvif LPR SOFTWARE
Cape Town, South Africa, January 9, 2017 Visec® (www.visec.com), creator of the Visec surveillance software suite and the License Plate Recognition Cloud Network in South Africa (LPR CLOUD SA) announces that it has released software technology making License Plate Recognition to the cloud more affordable. The Visec solution eliminates costly computer hardware associated with implementing license plate recognition systems.
The result will provide a standalone alone license plate recognition solution engineered for easy capturing, analysis and recording of license plates all built into the camera and automatically sent to the LPR CLOUD SA. No PC or server is required, just a regular internet connection.
Visec has strategically collaborated with Hikvision, an IP camera manufacturer, who will engineer the camera that will be powered by Visec’s software LPR CLOUD SA technology.
“This lower cost architecture offers the potential to significantly extend coverage of the LPR CLOUD SA to reach an even wider geographic location. Such a significant cost savings will also enable a rapid global market expansion of the Visec Cloud LPR that was not possible before,” says Alexander Bordbar, CTO of Visec.
The Visec standalone LPR Camera is powered using ‘’Edge” technology which allows software developers to write cameras apps, in a similar fashion to a cell phone running an app. The Visec license plate recognition app will run standalone utilizing the camera’s processor, memory and a supporting Hikvision camera.
“We have the ability to identify specific areas of growth in viable niche markets while ensuring our clients have the most advanced solutions,” says Jason K. Bordbar, MBA, Senior VP of Sales and Marketing, Visec USA Division. “Now we are able to offer a total cost ownership for the Visec Cloud LPR at a 75% price reduction for typical deployments thanks to this new camera technology. Such a drop in price point will enable Visec to implement Cloud based LPR solutions more effectively across emerging markets.”
