2. Product Overview
The Plate-Capture Camera is a high-performance plate-capture camera, equipped with a
1/3” SONY CCD. The Plate-Capture Camera’s outstanding feature set ensures seamless
integration and enhanced performance when used in conjunction with external License
Plate Recognition (LPR) software.
Outfitted with powerful 850 nm IR, the Plate-Capture Camera works perfectly even in total
darkness to deliver clear plate images. Its varifocal IR-corrected lens keeps it in focus day
and night, optimizing performance even in very low light conditions. In short, the Plate-
Capture Camera provides the kind of reliability and round-the-clock surveillance-and-
capture capabilities crucial to maximizing the efficiency of LPR applications.
High Contrast Image
The Plate-Capture Camera features high-contrast imaging performance that delivers sharp,
clear license-plate captures, even of vehicles moving at 90km/h, in bad weather, and in
low-light conditions.
Powerful IR
Its powerful IR functionality and IR-corrected lens deliver perfect image captures and
outstanding images all day long. It is also equipped with a high-power LED to help minimize
energy usage.
Wide Range Capture
Its built-in 9-22mm lens captures a wide 3-8 m(10-27 ft) field.
Rain Guard/ Extendable Sunshield
The camera’s rain guard and extendable sunshield minimize the effects of rain and sunlight
on image quality.
Easy Installation
The cable-management bracket enables easy installation in any location, including walls,
surfaces, and ceilings.
