Overview

The Rapier 30HD range offers a choice of either 2.0MP or 1.3MP models as a compact ANPR capture head with integrated illumination. These models provide digital ANPR images without any compression allowing every pixel to count. The 2.0MP model will capture license plates over a 10m width when reading EU plates whilst the 1.3MP model still captures plates within 7m of traffic lanes.

The Rapier 30HD is offered with a range of high quality fixed lenses for a choice of target distances with preset focus that covers the full capture range.

Rapier 30HD uses a custom designed bandpass filter and an improved bank of infrared illuminators for full width multilane operation.

Rapier 30HD has been designed for ease of install on vehicles including use within lightbars and is fully hermetically sealed to IP68.
