The importance of connectivity for ANPR
Police forces and other public sector organisations rely on ANPR to help in criminal investigations and traffic enforcement. It helps police forces to detect, deter and disrupt crime at all levels – from local to national.
Because the technology is used for time-critical issues including detection and disruption of criminality, quick and reliable connection is paramount to relay information about vehicles back to system operators.
While fixed line infrastructure is usually the default method of connectivity for ANPR, more and more public sector organisations are beginning to turn to cellular connectivity, either to replace a fixed line, for locations where a fixed line is not available or as a back-up.
Why are ANPR solution providers turning to cellular connectivity?
Within public sector agendas, security, cost management and resilience are all top priorities. Through network agnostic IoT connectivity providers, authorities and solution providers are able to easily implement fit-for purpose camera connectivity solutions. Being able to select the best network for each location (and even in-vehicle cameras), but manage under a across a single, safe, cost-effective platform is essential.
Although fixed line infrastructure is available along major highways, in other locations it can be expensive and time consuming to deliver. Cellular connectivity, on the other hand, can be deployed in a matter of days, rather than months, and for a fraction of the cost. This makes cellular an attractive alternative or backup to a fixed line, minimising the risk of down time.
Lastly, security is a critical factor for ANPR technology. The high level of responsibility that police forces have when it comes to handling public data, means that the secure transmission of data is a top priority for ANPR. Cellular solutions are able to offer private network infrastructure, such as VPNs and direct interconnects, to help layer security for devices, networks, and data transfer.
Finding partners that follow the guidance issued by the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) is always best practice, but typically, partnering with an organisation that holds an ISO21001 certification will go a long way to ensuring the security of an ANPR system.
