We are excited to announce that Woodstock will be having LPR cameras installed very soon!
License Plate Recognition camera’s (LPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates to create vehicle location data. It can automatically recognize a vehicle license plate’s number and other related information using the technology of license plate position tracking, character segmentation and character recognition.
The benefits of installing LPR cameras include the flagging of unusual or suspicious vehicles that flood in and out of the area as well as alerting the relevant role players when noticed. They are also extremely successful at locating stolen vehicles, especially those that are reported immediately before the car has long left the area.
These new LPR cameras will be placed at all major entrances and exits to Woodstock and all data will be monitored by the WID control room.
This will continue to improve the safety and security of our community and of the general public.
