System Details and Operational Use

The Sentinel is a rugged PC with full wireless GSM/GPRS/ communications, connected to two 'dual' infrared and overview Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras, capable of processing two lanes of high speed, high density traffic with overview imagery. The Sentinel unit has all camera power supplies and interfaces integrated into the unit, thus minimizing external cabling.

Encased in an ultra high impact resistant case, the platform is extremely strong and durable designed to withstand and operate in extreme environmental conditions. Neoprene O-rings and ABS latches seal perfectly, enabling the system to be ground buried for extended periods of time. The Sentinel system can set to hibernate during periods of inactivity significantly reducing power consumption. Using an inbuilt trigger interface, passing vehicles will 'wake' the Sentinel from hibernation when used in conjunction with a third party trigger system. The Sentinel will then recognize and record the license plates.

By using the wireless LAN card or the GSM/GPRS modem, multiple sentinel units can also be networked together to form an instant "ring of steel" incident reaction capability.

The Sentinel platform is designed to run Talon SP ALPR software and additional Talon software such the Spectrum and Sentry applications.
