In the last few years UK Police Forces have acquired a new and highly successful tool in the fight against crime. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) operates from fixed site cameras throughout the country and is installed in police vehicles throughout the UK. Matching vehicle licence plates against continuously maintained databases provides the police with the ability to apprehend drivers of stolen/untaxed/uninsured vehicles and disqualified drivers. ANPR based on Microbus hardware is also used for intelligence gathering and is involved in counter-terrorism activities.
QRO Solutions Ltd have long been at the forefront of in-vehicle ANPR technology and supply Microbus M-PC2 as their In-vehicle Computer of choice. The demands both national security and commercial success impose on ANPR suppliers is reflected in the use of Microbus M-PC2 by 8 out of 10 of the UK's leading In-Vehicle Police ANPR solution providers.
Microbus M-PC2 can handle up to four video streams whilst simultaneously accessing remote databases, providing SatNav guidance, displaying TRACKER data, receiving Computer Aided Despatch information and much more.
