Never miss a licence plate

Elvey has announced the arrival of Shany Electronic’s new day night colour car licence plate camera.The MTC-WDL713EF-C boasts a maximum resolution of 700 TVL in black and white mode and 680TVL in full colour mode.

Its ability to deliver accurate licence plate imagery, even in the most hostile light and weather environments, is the result of the inclusion of image sensor components such as the 1/3-inch Sony 960H EXview HAD CCD II. This is further aided by its onboard array of functions such as a mechanical visible light filter for clearer images at night, digital image stabiliser (DIS), 2D/3D noise reduction, high light compensation (HLC), E-zoom function (1~256x), advanced motion detection, quadrangle mosaic privacy mask and sense-up.

With its patented external adjustment feature that utilises a vari-focal lens, the camera’s f3,8~9,5 mm/ F1.2 Aspherical D/N lens allows it to record number plates up to 6 m away while the optional f9,0~22 mm lens kicks in for distances of between 6 m and 13 m.

To enhance the clarity of images captured at night, the camera’s mechanical infrared cut filter is supported by 30 IR LEDs which become active at 2Lux and switch off at 5Lux. This, says the manufacturer, makes it ideal for capturing car licence plates with retro-reflection.
