Overview

The Rapier 55 provides images for worldwide number plate recognition at a typical range of 5 to 50 metres but has also been proven to provide consistently high visibility plate images at distances in excess of 60 metres, day and night. Rapier 55 provides both IR images for ANPR recognition and colour overview images for evidential capture.

Rapier 55 offers multi-level frame-by-frame variation of IR illumination as standard so that it can provide high quality images from a wide range of differing number plate characteristics. Combined with an impressive 37x optical zoom, the Rapier 55 outperforms all its competitors.

Rapier 55 has been designed for ease of use in fixed applications with standard CCTV installation options for use on gantries, lamp posts and bridges.

The camera’s housing is fully sealed to IP68 and purged for long life performance.
