| Pollux
opens barrier automatically by License Plate Recognition |
| |
Access control by Number Plate
Recognition |
Operational and staff vehicles or vehicles from registered
customers and suppliers be reliably identified on the license plate. The
Recognition System identifies the license plate and open the Barrier. Pollux
logs date and time of all vehicles. Pollux is reliable and completely
self-sufficient, without a PC, in winter and summer, day and
night. |
The
barrier bar camera has the best view |
The barrier bar camera has the best view, the license
plate recognition is thus extremely reliable. The camera is just a few meters
before the number plate, it get a very large view of the plate. Even with is
particularly dirty license plate is still possible to detect. Furthermore, is
excluded in this geometry, the barriers that bar, a tree or a person obstructs
the view of the plate. |
Operation
at night |
Day and night: The built-in mini-camera LED light combined
with the intelligent control ensures a reliable detection even at night and
switched vehicle headlamps tested in practice! The Work area for the detection
(standard lens) is 1m to 3m in front of the barrier bar. |
Automatische
Ruffunktion zum Anschluss einer Hausglocke |
Pollux besitzt einen potentialfreien Kontakt der dann kurz
geschlossen wird, wenn ein Fahrzeug vor der Schranke / dem Tor wartet. D.h. es
ertönt automatisch die Hausglocke, wenn ein unregistriertes
Fahrzeug einfahren will und sich die Schranke (bzw. das Tor) nicht automatisch
öffnet. Wartezeit und Impulsdauer sind per PC-Software PolluxWin
einstellbar. |
Picture in monitor |
Pollux has a video output to the image of the input and / or
exit camera can be observed. In addition, the log of the last access events are
shown in the picture. |

| Video input |
| Pollux processed composite (PAL) video
signals. The device automatically detects the input standard, digitizes the
video image and starts the license plate recognition. This is done continuously
and at high speed, so that a nearly complete observation is
guaranteed. |
| Picture analyzing |
| Pollux scans the entire video screen and
looks as Region-of-interest to the local area of the plate. Rotated characters,
such as motor vehicles or inclined at uniform load to be tolerated up to +/-20
°. Similarly, the system processes the plate, which consists of up to
20° oblique direction of view were taken. |
| Country specific matrix |
| The country-specific matrices are free of charge on our
website for download. After the download, the matrix
via Windows software in the Pollux be saved. Thus, Pollux read
all the plates of this country and recognize the individual letters. The matrix
contains special information on the font and font size of this country's
plates. Of course, on request we equip the Pollux with desired matrix for
you. |
| Number plate recognition |
| Compliance with national standards is the basis of the
character spacing, font and string tested. Score neuro-decoding is the ASCII
character string of the label with the semantic meaning of the signs (city /
county, normal-car, Authorities Car ...) |
| Night operation |
| Pollux automatically detects the
brightness based on whether it day or night. Night Time is the number plate
recognition unchanged. In addition, the unit automatically switch potential
free contact to control a lamp (indicator light), when a vehicle with the
headlights moves into the picture. By the additional light from the lamp even
when switched the plate lights and poor visibility can be detected. In Use our
mini camera Spica need not separate lighting be installed as a
Spica integrated plate light does. |
| LSS - Light
flash signaling system |
| At extra charge we offer our LSS option. It serves
increasing the access security features against counterfeiters. Here in
addition to the license plate of the car and a lamp distance individual light
signal horns used as access criteria. This will made it impossible for
fraudsters using a fake to get access to your garage. The LSS-option
patented. |
| Adjustment and Operation |
| The freely available PC software
PolluxWin serves for the operation of the system and allows the
input of the next release list of license plate and inspection of the operation
log control and diagnosis of the entire system. To do this, connect to the
supplied RS232 cable or a TCP/IP LAN cable (RJ45), the device with a laptop or
PC and start the PC software. The software is very simple and understandable.
The settings will remain in the unit retained even after power failure. The PC
you need in the future operation only if the release list should be amended or
viewing of the operation log. |
| |
The complete image analysis and license plate recognition takes
Pollux. The unit stores all the information from reliable and the
barrier or gate system controlled entirely self-sufficient. Pollux works
stand-alone operation without a PC without PC card and without Windows. For
this reason the product is very user friendly, robust and failsafe. |
| Supply unit |
| Pollux is for DC operation and are
tolerated supply voltages ranging from 9V to 18V (DC). The integrated switching
regulator generates the internal voltages required. About the entire voltage
range is the power consumption of only about 5.2W. |
 |
| Of course, you will receive also the suitable power
supply for 110 - 230V AC operation. |
| Mounting |
| Pollux is for easy mounting on interior
walls and ceilings or barriers constructed in the case. We provide the Device
also available with special wall brackets from. |
| Housing |
| Pollux features an elegant black aluminum
housing with two-round rubber padding. The dimensions, 111 x 210 x 45 mm (W x L
x H) including connectors. The construction is very robust. The aluminum
housing is an excellent protection against mechanical stress and
electromagnetic interference effect. |
| New hardware development |
We are currently working on a new hardware
Pollux all models. In addition to an overall upgrading of
equipment. The following points are highlighted:
- Increase the recognition speed
- More powerful TCP/IP communication
- Images quasi-live to the PC
- Optional wireless module
- Optional integrated camera
The new generation should be in the first half of
2011. |
| The current generation of devices is
now for several years in operation. It has the hardware proved, the devices
operate around the clock very reliable. The PC-independent, modular design and
high quality processing are the reasons why. |
The following developments are only a
small part of the previously implemented product enhancements:
- Two independent rest intervals
- Free-ride period
- Parking limit
- Anti-Passback function
- Detection of authorities plates (only D)
- Alarm signal for video signal loss
- Bell function if waiting vehicles
- Automatic number plate light and lamp switch contacts
- Automatic adaptation to the respective lighting
- Useful plug-in terminal for connecting the supply and the
switch contacts
|
| Customer specific features |
| If required, we create other useful functions. We
thanks all interested parties and customers who help us to optimize the product
further. Because the wishes and ideas which in daily develop and use to us, and
finally approached with our technicians will be implemented are the
