The DINION capture 5000 is a specialty camera designed to capture consistent, high-quality images of vehicle license plates. Available in IP and analog versions, it is ideal for monitoring parking lots, public areas, and for controlling vehicle access. The DINION capture 5000 overcomes the problems encountered when using conventional surveillance cameras in vehicle identification and automatic license plate recognition applications. The Night Capture Imaging System delivers a burst of infrared illumination and simultaneously filters out visible light to ensure clear license plate images in complete darkness while eliminating the negative effects of headlight glare. Advanced Ambient Compensation minimizes plate overexposure from sunlight for more accurate automatic license plate recognition. Finally, adjustable imaging modes allow for fine-tuning the imager for specific regions or license plate recognition algorithms.
