L-3 Mobile-Vision Inc.’s AlertVU LPR system automatically reads plates by collecting multiple plate image streams from infrared cameras, front-facing color cameras and/or low-profile, side-facing cameras. The processing system runs in the background of existing in-vehicle computers and instantly alerts officers when offenders are identified after searching databases for stolen cars, BOLOs, Amber Alerts, etc. Plates are saved to a database automatically and wirelessly, and can be stored, aggregated, searched and analyzed for trends and patterns, as well as shared with agencies locally, regionally and nationally. The strength of AlertVU is in the back-office solution, which provides comprehensive analytics, the ability to find associates of known criminals, an advanced alerting system and the ability to view color thumbnails of read plates, as well as list and map views.
Coban’s Vision is a cost-effective mobile LPR unit that continuously scans and compares license plates against an onboard database. Built-in application features include hot-plate scan, chalking and white list validation.

Confirmed hits are immediately transferred to the backend server. From there, the alerts can be sent to dispatchers or administrators to assist field officers. When integrated with a Coban video system, confirmed hits trigger pre-event recording to provide a complete chain of evidence. The product easily integrates with existing Coban in-car video systems or Windows-based in-car MDCs. The system supports up to four LPR cameras per vehicle.

Plates can be compared against databases at a rate of 150,000 per second while also leaving enough CPU available for other tasks such as video processing and CAD. Any hits will alert the officer and automatically trigger the Mobile Digital Video to start recording.

The Jet-Aludra HD Intelligent LPR is made for many applications, including traffic management, enforcement and security. The low-profile, lightweight design can be easily installed using brackets and mount on existing street fixings. Using TriSync technology, the Aludra camera synchronizes three major components—HD IR camera, HD overview and IR illuminators—for high- quality images even during low ambient lighting. The 8 Series High Definition version (7 Series also available) of the camera enables the accurate capture of up to two lanes of traffic. After the data is acquired and processed within the unit, it can be then passed directly, via wired or 3G communications, to a central server for further analysis and real-time hotlist matching.
