Module-X IR

AI camera for on the edge ANPR-X and video analysis

The Module-X IR is designed to offer an all-in-one camera system for ANPR based parking and access control solutions. 

The camera can be mounted standalone or built-in into a terminal.

Equipped with neural processing power, the Module-X performs license plate recognition and additional video analysis routines simultaneously.
The many built-in communication protocols and interfaces provide third party systems with recognition results.

The camera’s modularity and wealth of features, makes the Module-X versatile and widely applicable. By default, the Module-X offers such a wide array of features, that it provides a solution for most projects right out of the box.
Hardware and software agility facilitate the adjustments necessary to meet specific project requirements.

COMPACT DEVICE WITH ON BOARD AI PROCESSING POWER

Recognition quality images

Two cameras designed to generate video images, ideal for recognition, make the Module-X IR a specialist in extracting valuable information from video. Simultaneously the IR and the colour camera deliver video for reliable license plate recognition and additional detection, classification or tracking algorithms.

Rugged and weatherproof

The IP66-rated enclosure ensures a rugged design and construction that is suitable for outdoor use. Weatherproof and with a wide temperature range, the Module-X IR ensures worldwide operation.

BUILT INTO A TERMINAL OR MOUNTED STAND ALONE

Modern looks and a sleek design, make a compact and discreet device with great sensory abilities. Due to its many mounting options, the Module-X IR can be mounted on a wall, ceiling or pole. Mounted on any fixed infrastructure, the Module-X IR performs its tasks in a discreet manner.
The Module-X IR can be built into a terminal or access control peripheral by any party. Mounted on top or built into a scan car it performs mobile recognition.

STRENGTH AND VERSATALITY OFFERS ENORMOUS FREEDOM OF CONFIGURATION

Parking industry

At parking areas, the Module-X IR authorises vehicles to enter based on their license plates and a managed white list. By keeping track of incoming license plates, the exact number of currently parked vehicles is known. Extra information about direction, vehicle type and timestamps provide all the data for more sophisticated parking solutions. More advanced, the module can be integrated with payment systems to handle payments autonomously. The Module-X IR is versatile and performs all these tasks on board. Therefore it makes a complete and convenient solution in smart parking management.

Car wash industry

It is this industry implementing automated payments with great success. Getting a clean car was never easier. Subscription or discounted washing based on a license plate has become a commercial must for carwash owners. It cannot become more convenient than this. The carwash industry has embraced license plate recognition and its benefits in a magnificent way offering customers optimal service.

Smart EV charging

The combination of license plate recognition, vehicle classification and integration modules makes the Module-X IR the perfect device to automate EV charging solutions. When the EV battery is fully charged, an alarm is send to both the car owner and an alarm center for the car to make space for the next one. Smart EV charging stations with license plate recognition can automatically handle the payment as well.
