Evo8 – the fully integrated automatic number plate recognition camera

CA Traffic have been developing traffic monitoring equipment for over 15 years.  Their versatile product range specialises in collecting valuable data on traffic volumes and vehicle classification.

Following extensive research and development, CA have within the past 24 months, designed and developed their own fully integrated automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera, the Evo8.

The Evo8 has been designed with the requirements of the end user in mind. Based on state of the art technology, the Evo8 combines all the technical facilities required for an ANPR Camera System within a small, lightweight housing including; monochrome camera for reading license plates, colour camera for overview images, infra red illumination, embedded PC with integrated ANPR reading software and various on-board comms options. 

Flexibility and ease of operation were key in the development of the Evo8 and as such it has a number of design features which offer the end user many useful real world options. The ability to cover a full two lane highway (6.3m) for example, allows the operator to view two lanes of traffic with only a single camera. Furthermore, this two lane camera can be used to view traffic in either a single direction or both directions simultaneously.

Various focal lengths are offered as well as a number of on-board communications options. Combined with the ability of the Evo8 to be fitted to existing structures such as street columns, motorway overbridges and traffic signals, the vast majority of Evo8 cameras have been installed without any additional infrastructure being required.      

Despite having only recently appeared in the ANPR market, the Evo8 has already been utilised for a number of differing ANPR applications, such as border control (Western Europe), journey time management schemes, origin and destination surveys, car park access control, school zone monitoring (USA) and we are delighted to announce the use of the Evo8 by the UK Police service.

In addition to the existing product a number of options will soon be available, which will increase the potential of the Evo8 camera system. 24-hour portable battery packs are already available and in the near future a 7-day battery pack will also be available to enhance the possibility of short term surveys. A laser speed measurement device has also now been successfully tested whilst fitted to the Evo8 allowing for spot speed measurements to be made. A useful addition for both survey and surveillance requirements.

Overall, the Evo8 provides a full range of capabilities which meet changing user requirements and offers full value for money in the current economic climate.
