Top 3 Myths about LPR Technology
"Our LPR system allows us to police both proactively and reactively. It helps to prevent crime in our city and when crime does occur, it enables us to arrest violators. ELSAG LPR helps us provide a safe and secure environment for our residents and visitors alike."

Street Sentry Benefits
Fixed systems can be mounted in stationary locations at a specific area of interest throughout a jurisdiction or deployed on a tripod for a portable solution. Data collected from the fixed cameras is sent to the ELSAG Enterprise Operations Center™ (EOC), where it can be stored for query and analysis or compared in real time to a variety of hot and white lists for enforcement purposes. Notifications can be set up to alert operators when a specific plate has been identified.
Cameras, a processing unit and proprietary software allow operators to capture images of license plates and instantly compare them with millions of hot and white list records to identify vehicles of interest. Hot and white lists may be updated manually or wirelessly.
A network of fixed cameras throughout a community can assist in a variety of safety initiatives, such as finding missing persons, providing access to residents and guests of an HOA, identifying traffic patterns to reduce congestion, assisting police officers in criminal investigations and collecting tolls for bridges, tunnels and tollways.
