The
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is nowadays required by several
CCTV applications. From company's access controls to petrol station
surveillance, the clear recognition of car's
license plate may add a great value to CCTV video-recording systems.
State-of-the-art technologies make
RE-BCC7Y the best number plate recognition camera available today.
Automatic number
plate recognition (ANPR)
Reading a vehicle number plate is a too difficult job for a standard CCTV
camera. The main problem is the exposure caused by headlight at night, but
even during the day the light reflection on the number plate can make the
number recognition virtually impossible.
RE-BCC7Y is a special camera, which has been specifically designed for ANPR
systems.
Extra light
compensation
To avoid exposure caused by headlight RE-BCC7Y compensates the light coming
from the vehicle with infrared light generated by built-in IR LED's.
To do so, the camera comes with 2 CSD light sensors: one on the front,
towards the vehicle, and the other on the back, sensing the effective light
of the environment.
When fixing the camera, please be sure the back light sensor is not covered
by obstacles.
Infrared Cut-filter
Removable (IRC)
Any colour camera has an IR cut-filter in front of the CCD which is able to
reduce the quantity of infrared light that reaches the camera's CCD during
the day time. Without the IR cut-filter, the CCD would generate strange
colours, different from the ones we are used to see.
All DSE long-range IR cameras, include the ICR function (Infared Cut-filter
Removable), a mechanical system that removes the IR cut-filter at night and
enhance the sensitivity of the camera to the IR illumination.
Visible light
Cut-filter
Besides the IRC function, RE-BCC7Y does much more then removing the IR
cut-filter at night. This camera can replace the IR cut-filter with a
visible light cut-filter, able to inhibit strong visible light from
headlights to reach the CCD of the camera.
During night view, this avoid exposure caused by car's headlights.
Here below is the spectrum of headlight with visible cut-filter: only wave
lenght over 800 nm can reach the camera.
High resolution
camera
RE-BCC7Y cameras have been designed using the best CCTV components available
today. Sony SuperHAD CCD, 550 TV lines extra high resolution,
DSP chip with S/N ratio over 52 dB.
The infrared
illuminator
RE-BCC7Y cameras come with a built-in infrared illuminator with 12 maxi
LED's. The cameras have a Day/Night function and are able to
function in all conditions, including complete darkness.
These cameras deliver colour images while there is enough light to do so.
When darkness falls the illuminator comes on automatically and B/W images
are delivered.
ATTENTION. The
RE-BCC7Y IR illuminator is specifically designed for number plate
illumination and cannot illuminate the rest of the scene which will not be
visible as shown in the sample frames on the left.
For a general night view, it is possible to install any of the
standard DSE IR cameras which do not effect the
number plate reading function of the RE-BCC7Y camera.
The optimum viewing
distance
The RE-BCC7Y camera has been focused for number plate recognition at
approximately 10 m. distance from the lens.
It is recommended to install the camera in order to respect the optimal
distance from the target, because this will provide the best reading
performance.
Anyway, number plate recognition will still be possible even at longer or
shorter distance from the camera
The speed of the
vehicle
The RE-BCC7Y cameras have been designed for use with normal CCTV system
recording 25 f/sec. and therefore cannot read number plates if the vehicles
are moving at high speed.
The cameras must be placed closed to access gates or barriers, so that the
vehicles are forced to stop or slow down to low speed.
The lens
The
cameras are supplied with a 16 mm lens as standard. The product has been
optimised for use with this lens, which cannot be changed.
Waterproof housing
The camera is inside a robust, completely waterproof aluminium container
which guarantees a protection level of IP67, meaning that the camera
can be exposed to rain without a drop of water getting in (see the IP table
in the tutorial on housings).
Audio
Waterproof cameras do not come with a
microphone. If you require audio, you can connect an
external microphone which is easily fitted between the camera and the
Audio/Video connector cable.
Bracket
RE-BCCtY
cameras are supplied with a practical swivel bracket for wall-mounting.
Wiring
Like the other hard-wired cameras, these cameras can be connected directly
to a TV or monitor by means
of an audio/video cable (Audio OUT and Video OUT).
On the back of the container there is a
waterproof conduit bearing a 1 m cable which contains: wiring for the 12VDC
power supply (terminal board with 2 positions) and video cable (BNC female).
It is possible to use a regulated 220VAC / 12VDC power adaptor like model
RE-AL4S (not included).
To connect the camera to the monitor or
TV you will need to use
RG59 coaxial cable.
By connecting the camera to an external transmitter like
RE-TX2/3/48/5, it can be
integrated into a RadioEye® wireless system.
For less experienced users, and those who would like to refresh their
knowledge, the tutorials
section contains a number of lessons on how to wire and install a
hard-wired CCTV system.
The
product comprises:
Waterproof camera with 16 mm lens
Swivel bracket for wall-mounting
Video and power cable (1m)
NOTE: Unlike wireless cameras, waterproof
hard-wired cameras are supplied without a power adaptor, which must be
ordered separately |
