The fast moving arena of video analytics took another step forward at this year’s IFSEC trade show held at London’s Excel Exhibition Centre with the unveiling of an innovative automatic numberplate recognition (ANPR) engine and platform which boasts new levels of functionality and flexibility.

Although the system was only officially announced to the industry at IFSEC this year it has been extensively proven as an enterprise solution processing literally millions of vehicle movements over the past couple of years in high pressure and demanding environments, such as London Heathrow Airport.

What makes the new system different? Well, apart from being fast and accurate, the well tried and tested system created by software and technology innovation company Intelico offers some unique integration opportunities.

These include a rapidly growing list of both new and legacy equipment from many of the industry’s premier camera manufacturers such as Canon, as well as offering modules to integrate with most access control systems including Skidata.

Bespoke software and technology specialists Intelico attended IFSEC in support of Wavestore (who themselves are renowned for being at the forefront of technological innovation) and were hosted on the busy Canon UK stand where they demonstrated their latest integration into the Wavestore Video Management system (VMS) and Canon cameras.

Intelico’s CEO and head of development James Sayer commented ?The association with Canon is an exciting one for the us as although our ANPR is designed primarily for the car parking arena, in early trials using their 1080p 2mp camera on a motorway we were able to grab 3 lanes in one view in a scenario where 2 was the maximum with many other camera brands?.
