Access Control-Compatible Number Plate Recognition Camera

Sony Europes Image Sensing Solutions Division has announced a highly integrated automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera covering formats from up to 25 European countries at a range of 3m to 18m to easily integrate with existing access control systems. The XCI-NPR uses the industry-standard Wiegand protocol, allowing OEMs to quickly and cost-effectively add ANPR capability to their products. Aimed primarily at applications within the corporate parking sector, the XCI-NPR transforms an existing badge-reader type access control solution into a seamlessly integrated ANPR system. It includes all of the hardware, software and interfaces that are required to integrate with bespoke or standard access control systems.
