Introduction - Dedicated Micros HyperSense Installation Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on choosing the Dedicated Micros HyperSense ANPR camera.
Unlike conventional ANPR cameras, the unique HyperSense technology cameras from Dedicated
Micros automatically remove the background scene and output a substantially blank image except
for when a vehicle number plate is within the field of view.
There are four versions of the HyperSense camera currently available
• ICE HyperSense Analogue ANPR Camera only - DM/PR1850
• ICE HyperSense Analogue ANPR + Overview Camera - DM/PR1850D
• CamVu HyperSense Intelligent (IP) ANPR Camera only - DM/CMVU-PR1850
• CamVu HyperSense Intelligent (IP) ANPR + Overview Camera - DM/CMVU-PR1850D
HyperSense cameras automatically remove everything except for any part of the scene that
strongly reflect the infra-red light (IR) from the camera's invisible flash. Most types of vehicle
number plate are retro reflective and will strongly reflect the infra-red flash from the camera,
and so remain in the image. All other parts of the scene that do not strongly reflect the IR are
removed, which includes other light sources such as vehicle head lamps which can cause
problems for conventional ANPR cameras.
By providing images of just the vehicle number plates, HyperSense cameras are ideal for use
in ANPR systems as they simplify the task of recognising number plates, allowing the analytics
software to operate more accurately and efficiently.
The ANPR camera is intended to be used for plate reading. Versions with an additional overview
camera fitted would be used for recording images of the vehicle for verification or evidential
purposes, whilst CamVu versions of the HyperSense camera can be configured to carry out plate
reading within the camera itself, providing the information as a telnet or metadata stream readable
by the DVR.
This manual will provide all the necessary information to install all versions of the Dedicated Micros
HyperSense camera. Consequently, certain sections of this manual may not apply to the unit,
depending on the model purchased. This will be specified at the front of each section.
