Australian specialists in Automated Number Plate Recognition technology, IP-Surveillance.com.au Pty Ltd, will launch the world’s first cloud-based Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) solution at Security 2012 Exhibition (25 – 27 July at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre).

ANPRonline.Net removes the cost barrier normally associated with the installation and operation of number plate recognition systems, making the technology accessible both to small and medium sized businesses for local projects and to large businesses for national or multi-national projects.

Developed in Australia, ANPRonline.Net has a globally distributed architecture with high fault tolerance and natural scaling for limitless growth. The solution’s secure web-based configuration, control and reporting features allow businesses to easily control of single or multiple sites regardless of their location.

“Previously, ANPR technology has been limited to large business with the available capital to commit to highly customised solutions and expensive ongoing operational budgets,” says managing director Robert Morgan.

“We are really excited about the increased potential of this technology to be used more widely. Our cloud-based ANPRonline.Net solution, to be launched at Security 2012 Exhibition, finally brings the use of number plate recognition within the reach of smaller businesses that, in turn, opens a huge array of new markets.

“The system can be used in a wide variety of industries that need to monitor or control traffic flows, such as car parks, apartment buildings, hotels, gated communities, warehouses, service stations, national parks, mining sites, factories, transport companies and even retail operations.”

The solution has been internationalised for major languages and number plate patterns and is fully integrated with high definition Mobotix IP cameras. When correctly installed it is even possible to scan vehicles travelling at speed across multiple lanes of traffic.

In addition to the cloud-based solution, IP-Surveillance.com.au Pty Ltd’s new ANPR system is also available as an in-house or private network system, called ANPRonsite.Net.

Resellers sought for channel push

ANPRonline.Net and ANPRonsite.Net will be exclusively sold and supported via resellers. The reseller supplies the recommended equipment such as the cameras, infrared lights, intercoms, gate relays, warning systems and gate hardware that can be controlled by ANPRonline.Net. Being local, the reseller can ensure that the equipment is installed and maintained correctly; delivering the highest reliability and accuracy for the end-user of the ANPR technology as well as a continuing revenue stream for the partner.

“We will be networking during Security 2012 Exhibition to grow our channel program with security integrators and manufacturers specialising in CCTV, access control or mechanical / boom gates,” explains Robert Morgan.

“By bringing automatic number plate recognition to the SMB market, we anticipate significant growth for ANPRonline.Net. We invite companies to meet us for further discussion at Security 2012 Exhibition to see how we can work together to incorporate this technology into their businesses.”
