Federal Signal has partnered with RMS Technology Solutions to integrate Federal Signal’s automated license plate recognition (ALPR) technology with Avrio RMS Group’s Portable Overt Digital Surveillance System (PODSS) cameras and Advanced Camera Sensor Integration Software Suite (AC/SiSS) and jointly market the systems.
Federal Signal claimed that by combining these systems, law enforcement bodies would be capable of extending their operational effectiveness over a wide area.
Federal Signal has explained the functioning of the new offering. It noted that a suspicious plate picked up as a ‘hit’ with ALPR technology can be tracked through AC/SiSS. The real-time AC/SiSS can send the position and direction of the moving vehicle to the next available PODSS camera in the path of the wanted vehicle. An operations centre can then feed this information to nearby field officers directed to apprehend the wanted vehicle.
Matt Brady, vice president of sales at Federal Signal’s public safety systems division, said: We are excited to be working with industry leaders like Avrio RMS Group – our customers are already seeing the benefits of this alliance in the field with deployments underway this summer.
Rick Rubenstein, managing partner of Avrio RMS Group, said: “The collaboration with Federal Signal serves to strengthen our mutual solutions and in turn provides more robust security systems to our customers and the public at large.”
