Mobile licence plate recognition systems

The Vyper™ Mobile licence plate recognition system (ANPR) combines fast deployment with reliability and simple operation.

A touch-screen user interface with powerful software ensures a system where the operator feels in control at all times. Designed for use in both mobile and fixed applications, Vyper Mo­bile ANPR can be used in a variety of applications.

ANPR enforcement systems

Sensor Dynamics’ mobile devices com­bine high-end hardware with specialised soft­ware to create a reliable and accurate ANPR enforcement system. Every kit contains a dual-channel PIPS Technology P362 camera, licensed inte­gration module, Panasonic Toughbook™ with Vyper Mobile software, GPS module, hydro­static window mount and rugged carry case as standard. Additional accessories such as boot mounts, roof mounts, camera hoods and tripods are also available.

Alerts can be edited, imported and exported on a single mobile unit or synchronised to a Vyper NET Data Centre. Either single or multiple Vyper Mobile systems can be syn­chronised to numerous vehicle watch-lists including disqualified drivers, unregistered, un­licensed or stolen vehicles. All data recorded in the field is uploaded for further analysis and reporting.

Vehicle-mounted li­cence plate recognition system

Sensor Dynamics provides a vehicle-mounted li­cence plate recognition system that provides a total solution for on-street and off-street parking enforce­ment. Vyper Mobile parking enforcement provides electronic chalking for each vehicle it passes and automatically alerts the operator to any offending vehicle.

Vyper NET server also integrates with parking en­forcement, allowing it to pre-populate the infringe­ment details, thereby simplifying ticketing. All required evidentiary data is handled and integrated with ex­isting data management.

Vehicle database verification systems

Sensor Dynamics’ Vyper Mobile software reads each vehicle number plate coming past the camera and records the data to the on­board SQL database. Comprehensive database searches allow op­erators to quickly verify vehicle details in the field and also generate reports complete with photographs. For maximum versatility, the system can also be supplied with a number of different camera mounts, including side window, rear window, towbar or bull bar.

Vyper NET allows the operator to collaborate all captured data in one location. It also provides a sin­gle point of management for vehicle watch-lists that can be synchronised with third-party authorities and law enforcement agencies.

Vyper NET also includes a simple user interface with access via any standard web browser. Spe­cific operational results and reports can be viewed in detail and all results can be exported in a variety of formats including pdf and excel.

Car park licence plate recognition systems

The Vyper Enterprise LPR is a powerful tool for controlling revenue loss and se­curity. License plate recognition systems provide automated access control and reporting for air­ports, car parks and high-security sites.

The system uses ANPR records to charge customers accordingly. When a customer inserts their ticket into a pay machine, the ANPR system is used to calculate the total time spent in the car park that day (reset­ting at midnight). The rate table used to calculate the customer’s fee is based on how long the cus­tomer has already spent in the car park.

Automatic charge rate systems for car parks

Vyper Enterprise allows the car park operator to automatically charge vehicles at different rates. The car park operator can import a list of number plates and assign a specific rate table to the list, al­lowing modified parking charges for these vehicles.

This process allows the parking operator to provide free parking to residents or VIP guests, reduced rate parking to staff or contractors, or inflate park­ing costs to known vehicles that should not be us­ing the car park.

Wildcards can also be used in the imported number plate lists. An example would be to charge all ve­hicles starting with ‘T’ a reduced rate.
