Bosch Security Systems and ARVOO, a Dutch imaging products specialist, announce their partnership by providing a state-of-the-art integrated Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) solution for the EMEA region (Europe/Middle East and Africa) Both companies bring their unique specialism to the table: while security cameras from Bosch provide high-quality pictures, ARVOO technology delivers fast and accurate ANPR analysis. The cooperation comprises a dedicated ARVOO ANPR integration for recorders and Video Management Software from Bosch. This new alliance offers gas stations, hotels, stores, government facilities, city toll booths and other customers an all-in-one and easy to use integrated solution to monitor and track vehicles on their premises or drive ways.

Available for any ANPR application the Dinion Capture Series cameras from Bosch are specially designed to capture high-resolution images of a license plate even when the vehicle is travelling at speeds of up to 225 km/h. Neither low light nor bright sunlight nor headlights pose a challenge to the quality of the pictures as the cameras are equipped with Advanced Ambient Compensation technology. They are also set up via plug-and-play, thus reducing both the costs and time spent on their installation. The cameras can then easily be linked to a stand-alone management system via IP or analog connection.

The Dinion Capture's high-definition images are subsequently analyzed using ARVOO's advanced analytical technology and processed with dual Digital Signal Processor (DSP) hardware, generating accurate number plate information as fast as possible. "The integration of ARVOO high performance ANPR technologies into Bosch solutions delivers easy-to-install and affordable number plate recognition for smaller systems, increasing safety and security of parking, access, traffic monitoring and surveillance applications," explains Mattias Rouw, Marketing Manager at ARVOO. "Automatic number plate recognition is performed whether the cars are queuing or travelling at high speed."
