by Shane Henson — September 16, 2013—Leading-edge digital video management technology provider Exacq Technologies Inc. recently announced a new integration with PlateSmart Technologies , a license plate recognition (LPR) software-only solution. This powerful new enhancement to the company’s video security line can be easily integrated into any exacqVision system, says the Indianapolis-based Exacq Technologies.
Once the PlateSmart software is connected to the camera and exacqVision system, it continually searches for license plates. Once the recognized license plate goes through the PlateSmart analytics, the metadata is sent to the exacqVision server and then the plate information is shown in the exacqVision digital video management (VMS) software, Exacq Technologies explains.
The information displayed in the exacqVision software includes the following data:
- License plate number
- Timestamp of when the license plate was captured
- Camera name
- State
- Longitude and latitude
- Path to the image
“PlateSmart is a great strategic partner for our video management system,” notes Tom Buckley, vice president of sales and marketing for Exacq Technologies. “As demand continues to increase for license plate recognition, it’s important that we make this powerful technology directly available from our client user interface.”
This new PlateSmart integration is available for integration with exacqVision systems within the United States. It provides exacqVision end users with a seamless addition of a license plate recognition solution to their existing video security system. The company adds that exacqVision systems offer native software for Windows, Linux, Mac, as well as iPhone and BlackBerry mobile devices.
