Hi-tech system to track movement of vehicles

HYDERABAD: For improving security systems in public places, city Police Commissioner AK Khan on Monday launched Automatic Number Plate Recogni t ion (ANPF) system.

According to SenSen Networks that introduced the product, a vehicle’s registration number will be captured the moment it travels across the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) system installed on a premises.

A DVR system will do surveillance of an institution both at the entrance and exit points. “The registration number of a vehicle will be captured by the CCTV cameras and its details stored in a database doing away with the need to have a person to sit and do this job,” said SenSen Network representatives.

The captured registration numbers would be crosschecked with the police database to trace missing vehicles.

“Through this system tainted vehicles can be caught besides increasing the security of the premises,’’ they said.

AK Khan said many private industrial houses were looking for foolproof security.

“Hence we need to create awareness about the availability of dif ferent technology products meant for security.’’
