HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES
Read all license plates of a geographical region
Even if you choose a specific country engine for your project, Carmen® Mobile will accurately return all license plates from its region (e.g., Europe, North America). With this app, there is no such thing as an unrecognizable license plate.
Select automatic or manual capture
The app automatically captures images by default, but you can easily switch to manual triggering. Carmen® Mobile also automatically preselects pictures to guarantee accurate ANPR results without using too many ANPR Cloud credits.
Decide what information you need
Event packages may include an overview, a picture of the vehicle, and even a short video. You have the option to only upload hotlisted vehicles to the server.
Process live feed, images or prerecorded videos
A wide range of formats (RTSP, RTPM, MJPEG, MP4) and sources supported, such as live video feed, a still image, a video uploaded to the app from an external camera.
Validate data by digital signature
Use the digital signature to authenticate ANPR results. Verify who created the event and prove that event data hasn't been tampered with.
Perform accurate ANPR at 180 km/h (112 MPH)
Perform ANPR from a moving car with a 90+% detection rate, even at a speed difference of 180 km/h (112 MPH) and on cloudy days. All traffic situations are covered, i.e. vehicles approaching/moving away, parked on the side, etc.
Use ready-to-use presettings
Aside from your custom settings, Carmen® Mobile offers five preset modes for the following situations: in motion, in a fixed position, parking, handheld, and above a highway. You can further customize all these presets to your needs.
Get instant feedback for each capture
Get instant feedback on the success of image capturing via vibration and/or sound signals. Both signals can be turned on and off in all modes.
Adjust camera settings to your preferences
Additional settings of the phone's camera allowed, such as exposure time and brightness, a flashlight, and separate modes for performing ANPR during the day and night.
Process image streams from any source
The application can process any image stream displayed on the mobile phone screen, regardless of the source. This means you can perform ANPR on any native video application such as VLC or display screens of drones, action cameras, and more.
Upload events easily to your chosen server
With the Carmen® Mobile app, uploading events is easy. All you need to do is provide the destination server (GDS, FTP, or REST API), pick the data to be included in the event package, and let the app do the rest.
Create your own alert lists
Create your own customized hotlists to receive alerts for specific events directly from the app. Capture traffic and parking violators and other vehicles of interest right on the spot with Carmen® Mobile.
Save bandwidth by working offline
Images and metadata can be collected without 4G, saving you battery time and money. Events then can be processed and uploaded at a later time on a Wi-Fi connection.
Supercharge your existing Android app with ANPR + MMR
Integrate Carmen® Mobile into existing systems. Launch the app from your own app and get ANPR and MMR data straight from the live video stream.
Get email notification of alerts
You can optionally receive email notifications of your customized alerts. The email will include plate data, timestamp, reason for alert, and the image.
