FORMIDABLE PERFORMANCE

The Rapier range incorporates high grade camera technology, innovative infrared pulsed LED design and multiprocessor control circuitry providing formidable ANPR/LPR camera solutions for professional use in both fixed and mobile situations.

Our family of Rapier 25 cameras include models with ANPR camera and IR with or without an inbuilt overview camera alongside. All Rapier cameras have zoom capabilities as standard to give exactly the field of view required, not limited by fixed focal length lenses. The zoom and focus capabilities can be easily preset and moved dynamically. Rapier 25 Mono and Dual models support typical license plate recognition up to 33 metres.

For increased illumination, the Rapier 25+ models offer greater IR intensity to match challenging lighting and plate conditions.
The Rapier range also includes standalone lighting units to provide additional illumination that is fully synchronised.

Rapier models offer multi-level frame-by-frame variations that can provide high quality images from differing plate characteristics. The use of galvanically isolated circuitry enhances the high grade images for better recognition. Rapier inherits all the qualities and approvals required for the professional market.

Cable harness sets and splitters	The camera is fitted with the latest high-grade snap-lock connectors. Connection from the Rapier to the ANPR equipment is available through a range of extension cables or splitters that break out into individual terminating connectors. Typically the cables provide video on phono/BNC plugs, serial D-type connector and 12V power.
Brackets	A range of metal cradles, brackets and sunshields are available for the majority of mobile and fixed installation types. Modified and bespoke metalwork can be designed and supplied to meet specific demands. Standard ranges include rapid fixing brackets/adaptors to standard CCTV, RAM Mount and Tripod connectors in pole/wall mount with tilting/panning and yaw capabilities for better alignment. The sunshields are available in a variety of construction techniques and sizes.
Pan and Tilt	Microbus provide pan and tilt heads, and interface units, to enable remote movement of the camera position to complement the zoom capabilities of the Rapier cameras. Pan and Tilt units have jog and preset capabilities that can be combined with Rapier presets to create integrated fixed or mobile platforms. The Pan and Tilt interfaces support industry standard protocols, with enhanced features through the Microbus AVMLprotocol.
Ethernet (IP) Encoding	Using the multi-processor intelligence within Rapier, Microbus offers a number of additional capabilities as software upgrades. These include the GPS based features and external sync trigger facilities.
