LPR CAMERAS
“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.” – Coretta Scott King
KFW LPR CAMERAS
Klapmuts Farm Watch has intensified its public safety programme with the introduction of a Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) system. The technology is geared towards disrupting potential criminal activity by identifying and recognising vehicles suspected of being involved in crimes when they are in the area. It assists the SAPS and law enforcement in locating vehicles suspected or confirmed of being involved in crime.
LPR is not an ‘iron dome’ defence system and will not stop cars from entering and exiting. It still relies on human interaction with the system – in analysing alerts, coordinating responses, and following up on incidents.
Klapmuts Farm Watch currently has 9 LPR cameras within its boundaries. Our aim is to have 20 in the next 4 years
TECHNOLOGY – Driven Security
LPR uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates, thereby creating vehicle location data.
These reads are filtered through software and alerts sent out to suitably screened individuals / groups (all of whom have agreed to adhere to the terms of use), to advise that the vehicle is in the area, to provide further details about the vehicle (distinguishing marks), whether it has been linked to SAPS case numbers, and to give instructions as to what action needs to be taken depending on the type of alert.
ASsisting – SAPS
Klapmuts Farm Watch is working in collaboration with a LPR User Group, who offer coordinated assistance and support to SAPS and other law enforcement bodies related to suspect vehicles and their locations.
We will be able to search licence plate reads after events to locate vehicles suspected of being involved in crime incidents in the area – and use this information to alert other LPR users in neighbouring suburbs and wider.
With the LPR system, public safety teams from other neighbouring areas, private security providers using LPR, and the SAPS will all receive real time information about possible risk vehicles heading their way, leading to an increased number of arrests.
