A security software provider and an IP surveillance provider team up to make Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR)-based analytics available and affordable.

PlateSmart Technologies, creator of ARES video analytics software, announced its new integration partnership with leading IP surveillance provider VIVOTEK. Through their association, the two companies will introduce PlateSmart’s disruptive ALPR-based video analytics technology to VIVOTEK’s vast and growing global client base.

According to PlateSmart’s website, the Ares software is compatible with a wide range of off-the-shelf surveillance cameras, which enables users to add ALPR-based video analytics to their security systems affordably and without having to “rip and replace” their existing cameras. Having certified VIVOTEK cameras for use with ARES, PlateSmart takes its place in VIVOTEK’s Solution Integration Alliance (SIA) program, security solutions that meet the needs of a diverse user base all over the world.

PlateSmart CEO said: “PlateSmart is committed to providing law enforcement and security officers with the best intelligence-gathering tools available. The more widely technologies like ARES are deployed, the easier those officials’ jobs become and the safer we all are.”

VIVOTEK spokesman said that “through the strategic alliance, VIVOTEK will provide highly secure, efficient, and professional IP surveillance solutions that can seamlessly integrate with PlateSmart’s Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology. Combining the expertise of two companies also drives the growth and development of the Smart City in the United States.”
