What Items Have Been Delivered And Where Are They?

Most ramps use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and direct store deliveries (DSDs) to scan both despatched or arriving goods.

The scanned data is integrated easily with video to keep track of what occurred at the time of delivery or despatch and verify item location.

Gates and doors can also be controlled directly from the XProtect® Smart Client so users can visually identify staff and vehicles before granting them access.

Is This Car Blacklisted?

License plate recognition is an automated analytic solution used to identify vehicles and allow or block these vehicles access into carparks or other protected areas.

Alerts based on Number Plate Lists can determine access automatically.

This technology can pinpoint cars parked too long in the parking area or send a notification when vehicles that have previously been identified as problematic are present.

What Happened When The Thief Was Apprehended?

To make Security more useful, video can be integrated to help provide evidence of what actually happened when any alarms are triggered.

Linking video with alarms can also be used for access control systems, fire alarms and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

This can also provide valuable evidence in OH & S matters or events.
