Prestigious Hotel with Jack Nicklaus Championship Course Finally Gets out of the ANPR ‘Rough’ with a little help from CitySync


Hanbury Manor, A Marriott Hotel and Country Club centred on a stunning Jacobean Stately House and located in 200 acres of beautiful countryside near Ware, Herts UK was sold on the idea of ANPR but was initially disillusioned.

 

  Quantumatic Cambridge, specialists in security systems, was contracted by Hanbury Manor to install and maintain all the security systems at the hotel. Hanbury Manor needed an ANPR system to record all vehicles entering and leaving the facility. Additionally, they wanted a database with a white list for all staff, visitors and VIPS and a black list for vehicles on their security watchlist.

 

After the pain and aggravation of installing two different ANPR systems that did not work to the customer’s expectations Quantumatic found CitySync who were happy to provide a loan system for a short evaluation.
 


Both the Hanbury Manor Security Team and Quantumatic could see the difference immediately and quickly decided that CitySync should install a permanent replacement system.


Charlie Lee, Senior Engineer at Quantumatic said: ‘We have tested five ANPR systems in total and they all have a common problem with accuracy - except CitySync ANPR software. We are impressed with the consistent high accuracy of the system. We will continue to use the ANPR system from CitySync.’


Desna Fielding, sales VP at CitySync added “Sadly this experience is more common than many people realise and we swap out a lot of failed systems. ANPR is not just a ‘video analytic’ but a very demanding technology. Users are very quick to spot failings. Buying a cheap ANPR system is a false economy as it fundamentally undermines security as well as an integrators relationship with the user”.
