World-renowned Kruger National Park offers visitors among the best wildlife experiences in Africa. The park is home to an incredible number of species - 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals - and chronicles centuries of human interaction with the Lowveld environment, including everything from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela. The park grounds must therefore provide strict protection to all species.
"We are checking average speed over distance," says a Kruger National Park project manager. "When the ANPR system sees your number plate at the gate, it records the date, time, etc. When you pass the next ANPR camera it does the same and works out the average speed travelled. If the average calculated shows that you travelled faster than the speed limit, you receive a fine."
The SCR510's high-contrast license-plate imaging facilitates plate recognition and the park's calculation of average vehicle speed.
MESSOA's SCR510 license-plate-capture camera features a 1/2" CCD that delivers ultra-clear 600TVL high-contrast license-plate video for optimal DVR integration and Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR/LPR). The camera's high-efficiency LED array has a range of 230ft., operates efficiently at either AC24V or AC90~260V, and consumes an average of only 45 watts of power.
The SCR510 also features a weather-sealed IP67-compliant housing with an internal heater and blower, creating a vandal-proof unit that is more than equal to the challenge of extreme-environment applications. The SCR510's outstanding design has earned it both the Taiwan Excellence 2008 Award and the France Expoprotection 2008 Innovation Prize.
