EyeNet Announces International Automated Number Plate Recognition Standard

NEW LENOX, ILLINOIS, USA–July 20, 2010– EyeNet Enforcement Systems today announced the issuance of the EyeNet International Automated License (ALPR) and Number Plate Recognition Standard© 2010 to aid in the decision making process for acquiring the appropriate technology for uses of Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) around the world.

The standard provides a simple, easy to understand structure similar to level of preparedness for homeland security with numbered levels 1 to 5. Level 1 represents basic license plate recognition reading a single language from just infrared cameras. This is used in most car-park type environments.

“One of the biggest problems we found our international customers face was untangling the different lists of technical features from the different providers of ANPR. For example, car park and access control operators were requiring reading plates at speeds of 160 MPH. Reading plates on cars traveling that fast is not a need that car park operators have. Companies are paying for expensive cameras and features they don’t need,” said Thomas Tarach CEO/President of EyeNet Enforcement Systems.”

Level 5 specifies reading multiple language characters such as Arabic, English, Chinese and Thai from both color and infrared cameras integrated with complementary and conjunctive technologies to provide instant high-level information responsiveness.

“The strength of the EyeNet Standard is the flexibility to match high security needs with integrated technologies for powerful solutions. We have integrated Arabic and English ANPR with technologies including mobile data communications, live mobile video streaming, GPS, vehicle location wireless protocols from WIMAX to Tetra for Level 5 security. The EyeNet standard is a great tool to communicate these specifications globally.” said Imad Al Sayed, managing director of DDIT.

ICOP Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICOP) of Lenexa, Kansas, was the first company to integrate its products with EyeNet ANPR internationally. The company sells English, Spanish and Arabic translated video products for police and security agencies around the world. The integrated solution provides for communication between the two companies systems within a vehicle and secure wireless data and video transmission to command centers.

“The EyeNet standard is a useful guide for customers to get the greatest value. The need for a standard to unify the technology was evident. The critical factor was to make it comprehensive yet simple. The EyeNet standard delivers a thorough, easy to use tool for choosing ANPR and integrated solutions such as in-car video” said Laura Owen President of ICOP.
