The Power of Knowing
Imagine being able to identify a vehicle that’s entering your facility without even trying. Or seeing whether it’s a vehicle of interest - or even knowing how long it’s been parked in the same space. AutoVu allows you to detect and recognize vehicle license plates, and find the vehicles you’re looking for.
Genetec, a leading technology provider of unified security, public safety, and business intelligence solutions, that was recognized in the 2017 Gold ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program, has introduced a new generation of its AutoVu™ SharpV ALPR (automatic license plate recognition) camera.
This latest version provides a future-proof fixed ALPR solution that can be easily deployed anywhere.
It is built to deliver machine learning-based ALPR and vehicle analytics on the edge, ensuring high performance in all conditions.
Designed specifically for fixed ALPR installations, the new SharpV can be up and running in minutes, thanks to multiple features like embedded 4G/LTE/GPS and motorized lenses with zoom and auto-focus.
It is ideally suited for a range of applications, such as monitoring entries and exits, capturing license plates at high speed on city streets and highways, managing off-street parking lots and facilities, as well as covering major city access points for wanted vehicles.
With built-in illuminators, global shutter, and high-resolution sensors, the SharpV provides crisp, accurate, and greater than Full HD images at all times: day or night, in either slow local traffic, or on fast highways.
Featuring ultra-wide sensors, the updated SharpV can capture license plates across two lanes of traffic with no loss in accuracy, meaning fewer devices are needed to cover more locations, reducing total cost of ownership.
Featuring AutoVu MLC™, a powerful onboard machine-learning-based ALPR engine, the next-generation SharpV goes beyond license plate identification with a full suite of advanced vehicle analytics that includes vehicle classification, color recognition, travel speed estimation, and direction tracking.
AutoVu at Work Across whole cities, AutoVu is making an impact. It’s used for everything from improving city center traffic flow to protecting municipalities by speeding up investigations into organized crime and car theft. AutoVu is also helping universities enhance everyday life by making sure students can find spaces and make it to class on time… and safely.
The onboard machine learning Vision Processing Units (VPUs) also pave the way for new vehicle characteristics and behavior analytics, for future applications.
“ALPR is an essential part of many organizations’ toolkits. It can be used to gather operational and investigational insights to help solve crimes, enforce parking regulations, and track traffic patterns in dense urban environments,” explains Stephane Varin, Product Manager, AutoVu, Genetec, Inc.
“The new SharpV is easier to deploy, can cover a wider field of view, and provides more data about vehicle identification and behavior.”
The new version of AutoVu SharpV also greatly simplifies installation and maintenance.
The cameras motorized lenses enable zoom and auto-focus to be adjusted remotely at the time of installation and during routine maintenance.
Embedded cellular networking equipment provides the ability to connect using 4G/LTE (where available).
