JetCam Fox HD Camera

The JetCam Fox HD Dual GigE camera is designed for use in applications where high resolution ANPR images are required such as dual or wide traffic lanes. In these situations two analogue cameras often have a 'blind spot' between the lanes and three cameras are normally required for 6m wide fields of view. Such clusters of cameras can look unsightly and are expensive to install.   Two lanes of traffic can be monitored with one Fox HD camera Standard analogue ANPR cameras cannot be used in situations where more vertical resolution is required such as in DSRC Tagging systems. (Dedicated Short Range Communications). In such cases cameras are usually mounted high (6-7m) and are expected to read plates of vehicles within the normal DSRC range (7-12m). This increased vertical angle results in distorted plates which can only be read at high accuracy by using high resolution vertical imaging. The JetCam Fox HD camera delivers this.   The JetCam Fox HD has a horizontal resolution of nearly 1400 pixels easily covering 6-7m of road. The increased vertical resolution of over 1000 pixels is utilised by the Jet ANPR Engine which is able to capture several images as traffic passes resulting in increased recognition accuracy. The vertical resolution maybe linearly traded off against frame rate if required. A new wide lane power-managed LED technology has been employed ensuring that the Infra Red illumination accurately matches the wider field of view. This increased performance means that the camera will capture plates at night against full headlights at a distance of approximately 40m.   The star feature of the JetCam Fox HD Camera is its intelligence. Communication with the camera is via a GigE digital interface which means that the camera can be controlled in real time from the Jet ANPR Engine which constantly monitors the brightness and condition of all recognised number plates. Jet then applies dynamic control to various settings such as high-quality digital gain and shutter speed - fine tuning the resulting image which is then fed to the ANPR computer. This dramatically improves ANPR recognition in very difficult and changeable lighting conditions.

High Definition ANPR images require accurate vehicle identification and so the camera is equipped with a second colour HD camera available in several resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 delivering one or more crisp overview images with every plate captured. These can be viewed using JetBase where the operator can zoom into each image accurately identifying key features. The JetCam Fox HD is available with various combinations of lenses for both cameras. The unit is compact measuring only 18cm in length powered from an external 12v DC supply making it both flexible and safe to install and the camera can be attached to a PTZ unit.     Key Features:   2 x GigE Vision High Bandwidth Connection 100m CAT6 cable length No Frame Grabbers Required Progressive scan mode CCD Outstanding image quality on both cameras Constant depth of focus all over the sensor Long range ANPR reading Highways Agency approved bracket available   JetCam HD Deployment:   Congestion Charging DSRC Integration Dual Lanes of Traffic Bi-directional Traffic 6m+ Wide Roads Compound Entrances Motorway Bridges High Poles Steep Angles Small Plate Text Long Range Day / Night use
