Full Range of ALPR Cameras
Our comprehensive camera lineup is the result of three decades dedicated to refining the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of ALPR technology for a variety of applications. We provide a versatile selection of ALPR cameras, designed for specific applications. To accommodate deployment-specific needs and variations in license plate design, we have developed specialized sub-models optimized for all possible installation and operational conditions. Inex cameras can capture ALPR data from distances as close as 5 ft (1.5 m) to over 80 ft (24 m). The systems are designed to produce crystal-clear images under all lighting conditions, ranging from 0 LUX to direct sunlight exposure. Our cameras operate in extremely cold climates, from -40°F (-40°C), as well as in extremely hot environments, up to 152°F (70°C). Finally, our camera selection is designed to meet a broad spectrum of customer requirements, spanning from advanced, feature-packed options to those tailored for budget-conscious consumers.
Sharing the same core AI-based algorithms, our cameras leverage multispectral imaging for reliable acquisition under varying lighting conditions, including direct sunlight, and of all license plate types, including non-reflective plates. Adjustable features, such as motorized zoom lenses and multiple focal length options, are configured based on roadway design requirements.
Our cameras support triggered, non-triggered, on-demand and hybrid operational modes. Triggered mode activates upon receiving an external signal, while non-triggered mode relies on automatic vehicle detection through video. On-demand mode continuously captures data while only transmitting license plate information upon receiving a trigger signal. Hybrid mode combines these approaches, operating normally in a triggered state, but allowing the camera to be externally triggered to record images even if no vehicles are detected by video.
Our premium IZA800 camera series is specifically engineered for toll road environments, featuring a frame rate adept at capturing the license plates of vehicles at high speeds. With an onboard NPU-equipped processing unit, these cameras handle all image processing internally, streamlining the output of license plate numbers through a web service API. This innovation enhances system efficiency and reliability by reducing the amount of hardware needed at toll plazas.
Designed with system reliability in mind, a standard toll road gantry setup includes two IZA800 cameras aimed in the same direction, incorporating multiple redundancies to safeguard against potential failures. Should an IR or color camera malfunction, the system is built to ensure only minimal impact on performance. Moreover, if a processing unit fails, the system automatically reroutes image processing tasks to a secondary IZA800 unit, maintaining continuous operation without significant loss of functionality. This robust design philosophy ensures that the IZ800 series stands at the forefront of reliability and efficiency in toll road applications.
In parking and access control scenarios, the IZA500 series stands out for its accuracy and ease of installation. With built-in image processing and operational logic, these cameras eliminate the need for external computing units and include the necessary outputs for seamless integration with access control systems.
Our entry-level IZ600 camera delivers excellent performance across many applications operating with an external Inex-provided computing unit, the DPU, with dry contact . A single DPU can support up to four cameras and also functions as a control panel in access control settings. The IZ600 is equipped with a dry relay for vehicle gate operation.
The mobile IZM cameras are mounted on a police or parking enforcement vehicles, to process in real time ALPR events via a backend server. These cameras utilize a DPU for the in-car image processing to minimize network communication traffic.
All our cameras can operate with Inex IZCloud software service for continuous performance monitoring, firmware updates, and other functions, ensuring that the system remains at the forefront of ALPR technology.
