The deep learning camera also reads license plates at high speed in any lighting conditions for easy searches.

Cerritos, CA (January 16, 2024) – Digital Watchdog® (DW), the industry leader in digital recorders, surveillance cameras, system peripherals and related management software, announces the addition of the MEGApix Ai MMCR 5MP bullet IP camera. The camera comes preloaded with an edge-side deep learning engine, as well as license plate capture and optical character recognition and make, model, and color (MMCR) analytics, capturing license plate characters as well as identifying vehicle characteristics for fast research and forensic identification. MMCR cameras help operators gain insight into traffic patterns, frequent visitors and control access to restricted areas.

"If you need convincing regarding the value of AI in physical security, here is compelling evidence," said Mark Espenschied, Director of Marketing, DW. "We're still excited about the ability to capture, read and store license plate numbers for easy search and identification. But now, add automatic recognition of the vehicle's make, model and color, giving operators the ability to find video of the exact match based on one or all criteria almost instantly."

This NDAA/TAA-compliant MEGApix Ai IP camera provides 5MP resolution vehicle license plate, make, model and color detection with an Ai engine at the edge. The MEGApix Ai cameras place the power of Ai deep learning at your fingertips, with object identification and tracking. The camera detects and extracts a vehicle's license plate characters, make, model and color in milliseconds at up to 75mph with a high 95% accuracy, converting the pixels to usable digital data that can be searched and mined for analytics, patterns and access reports.

The weather-resistant bullet camera is IP67-rated, IK-10 impact-resistant, and will Cold Start at -40°F/-40°C. All MEGApix cameras are ONVIF conformant, assuring their successful integration with any open platform solution on the market.
