Pecan has created the new P110 camera using the technology used in its successful PC960 camera. Modifications to the lens and optics enable the camera to view number plates in bright sunlight through to moonlight, the company says, while optical filters allow accurate images to be obtained even when car headlamps on main beam are in the field of view.
Director Jess Johns said: “We recognised that ANPR is one of the biggest growth areas in CCTV and did a considerable amount of research into what was required and what was already available in the marketplace.
“We found that although there were a large number of manufacturers supplying ANPR cameras they were designed with a fixed focal length lens and separate lighting. So as many as four or five cameras could be needed to monitor an area depending on the distance.
“The new P110 has been designed with varifocal lens to provide images for a whole range of distances from 5m-25m from one camera. It also has variable IR illumination and its own internal lighting in one simple to install and easily adjustable unit.”
Pecan’s P110 camera has a simple bracket assembly, offers full cable management and is backward compatible with most major ANPR software packages. It is available as 12v DC or 24v AC input with auto switching and composite video output.
Pecan says the camera is suitablefor installations at petrol stations and forecourts, car parks in supermarkets, hotels and service stations, retail and business parks, as well as waste and recycling plants where it can be used to monitor the frequency of commercial and private use.
