Cam-tech Security Systems Limited

Proven Technology

This proven technology is being used for congestion charging, law enforcement, access control and Homeland security. Cam-tech Security Systems can assist you in the design, installation and implementation of your ANPR CCTV system in London, Kent & the South East, we can even capture number plates on vehicles travelling over 155mph.

It is operated as a proactive tool, with the primary objective of targeting terrorism, serious and organised crime and volume crime (for example as part of the City of London’s “ring of steel”) and anti-social behaviour. ANPR can also detect vehicle documentation offences such as uninsured driving and road tax evasion. Many of those who are stopped for committing routine road traffic offences by the police are, in fact, likely to have been involved in more serious offending.

 Arrest rates

 ANPR technology has enabled police officers to produce an arrest rate equating to over nine times that of the nationally accepted average and to achieve three times the number of Offences Brought to Justice (from arrest through to being sentenced at Court) compared to conventional policing methods.

 ANPR Uses

ANPR software can also be used in conjunction with Access Control to allow certain vehicles through automatic gates and barriers. It can also create an alarm if certain vehicles are detected.

ANPR funding

The Home Office made £32.5 million available to the Police Service in years 2005-07 for the provision of ANPR technological development. A significant proportion of this funding was allocated to the development of the National ANPR Data Centre (NADC) - a facility that will enhance the police’s post-incident investigation capability. A great deal of care is being taken to ensure that the rights of the individual are safeguarded through the police use of ANPR-derived data. ANPR is, above all, about denying criminals the use of the roads, leaving law-abiding citizens to go about their business uninterrupted.

New responsibilities

As of 1st April 2007 the responsibility for the Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology will transfer from the Home Office to the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA)
