Pelco and PlateSmart Partner to Deliver License Plate Recognition
March 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Pelco by Schneider Electric announced that its VideoXpert™ video management
platform is now integrated with PlateSmart’s ARES license plate
recognition (LPR) system.
Integration with third-party technologies, such as PlateSmart, is part of
the Pelco’s committment to developing customized solutions for end
customers. As users capture growing amounts of video data, it is critical
to deploy intelligent tools that enable video surveillance data to be
immediately digestible to ensuresafety and security, and optimizing
business efficiency.
The combination of Pelco’s scalable and customizable VideoXpert VMS and the
automated number plate recognition (ANPR) of PlateSmart’s ARES solution
delivers end users with the ability to recognize key data points for
identification and investigations accuracy.
More specifically, the Pelco and PlateSmart interface correlates data from
license plate information and video surveillance systems and displays
critical information and live video through a single, easy-to-deploy user
interface. The integration enables three plug-in capabilities, including:
– LPR Overlay, which facilitates accurate and real-time monitoring of
license plates by overlaying a camera-view window with a dynamic list of
license plates captured by the system. This allows users to quickly and
easily view critical license plate information – such as number and state.
– Plate Viewer displays essential metadata, such as time capture with
timestamp details, the name of the camera, where the license plate was
read, and source and images of the license plate.
– Alert Viewer, which enables expanded alert details and metadata,
including identification of the standard operating procedure (SOP) that
triggered the alert as well as the alert type, code, category and priority
previously defined by the alert SOP.
