How It Works

 
CheckPointLPR™ (License Plate Recognition) is an IP hardware based image-processing application used to identify vehicles by their license plates. This exciting technology has been chosen by some of the best-in-class companies in the world for use in various security, revenue protection, and traffic-based applications. As vehicles pass through an LPR field of view, a camera captures the license plate and transforms the image into an alpha-numeric character string utilizing its optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm. The result is immediately compared to a user populated database, which determines the appropriate action based on the subjects response category.

Our most recent release utilizes one High Definition Visual Spectrum camera in concert with an Infra-Red Illuminator, which is needed to compensate for diverse light conditions, plate configurations, etc…

 

Multiple images are recorded by these two cameras using a frame-grabber which work in concert with the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) module that extracts the plate information based upon the best image captured.

 

Finally, the result is processed with our powerful CheckPointLPR™ license plate alert software which generates the appropriate action for that subject’s plate (i.e. vend gate, send alert, etc…). The most recent advances in high-definition camera technology is expanding the spectrum of image processing capabilities to a whole new level.

 

Our crystal clear HD IP cameras have the same resolution to substitute up to 15 analog cameras – reducing the total cost of installation. They have the ability to zoom in after the event from high res archives, simultaneously viewing zoomed and full field images. There is no need for a separate power source since it can be drawn from a low cost Power-over-Ethernet switch.
