Intelligent Access Control
Gates and access barriers are commonly used for controlling vehicle access to a car park facility. The barrier is often part of a more complex access control system which may include ticket dispensers, magnetic swipe cards, RF proximity readers and access pin or code entry panels.
Modern access control systems also integrate license plate detection to provide intelligent access control and monitoring.
SMARTREG™ ACCESS (license plate recognition) cameras are designed to be easily integrated with existing control barriers to provide intelligent access control to car parks and gated facilities. In operation, the vehicle registration is read by the ANPR cameras on both approach to and exit from the car park. The vehicle registration number is matched against a list of predefined vehicles. If a match is found, the system is configured to perform a specific action, such as raise the barrier for entry, send an alarm to security and even display selected information regarding the vehicle, including the driver’s name, an image of driver and the vehicle make and model.
In parking facilities where either ticketing or electronic tagging (swipe card, RFID) systems are used, there is the initial costs of issuing the access media (example swipe card) to the driver and more critically the additional normal day to day operating costs of running and maintaining the system e.g replacing lost or stolen cards, ink and tickets for printing machines, costs for servicing the system etc.. However with SMARTREG™ ACCESS cameras there is no external media required. SMARTREG™ ACCESS cameras visually identify each vehicle and are consequently more cost effective than alternative solutions.
Key Features:
- High resolution digital image acquisition – better recognition and image detail than comparative CCTV/Analogue systems.
- Rugged, compact, embedded industrial design for outdoor use.
- Integrated illumination for 24 hour, day & night operation.
- Low power consumption for standalone operation.
- Integrated digital I/O and relay module (12/24V). A digital output signal is provided to the barrier when a plate is read and optionally validated against a lookup list.
- Secure, remote access and configuration via Ethernet / web browser.
- Restrict access of vehicles via a blacklist/white list.
- Location, date and time stamped images for evidential records.
- Images optionally encoded or watermarked for enhanced security.
- Optional overview camera available (b&w or colour).
- Standard pole and fixed mounting brackets available.
- Fast installation and setup time.
- Quality backup and support service.
SMARTREG™ ACCESS is ideal for commercial premises, gated communities, visitor centers and waste sites.
