The new integration delivers intelligent license plate recognition and event management with video from DW Spectrum® IPVMS for enhanced actionable information.

Cerritos, CA (October 26, 2023) – Digital Watchdog® (DW), the industry leader in digital recorders, surveillance cameras, system peripherals and related management software, and Plate Recognizer, an Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) solution, announce the integration of DW Spectrum IPVMS video management platform with Plate Recognizer’s Stream software and ParkPow Dashboard- enabling a seamless sharing of events and high-accuracy license plate video capture with license plate, vehicle type, make, model, color, region and other meta-data.

“We are excited to welcome Plate Recognizer into the DW Spectrum technology partner ecosystem,” said Patrick Kelly, Director of IP Sales for DW. “Their robust offering gives DW Spectrum users another powerful solution.”

DW Spectrum is a lightning-fast, easy-to-use, cross-platform video management software. It is designed to discover, view, record and manage video cameras so customers can monitor, analyze and react to critical events in real time. DW Spectrum is a perfect solution for applications that require ease of use, speed, efficiency, and unprecedented image quality. Plate Recognizer provides accurate, fast, developer-friendly Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) software that works in even the toughest environments, such as low-resolution, blurry and dark images.

“The DW Spectrum of products provide unparallel capabilities in the surveillance arena, and our leading automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) software will add another important component to accurately and quickly capture mission-critical information in the form of license plates,” said Ky Tang, CEO of Plate Recognizer. “Our ParkPow Dashboard will enable customers to utilize this captured information to proactively secure environments, define permissions, and send alerts of non-compliance.”

With Plate Recognizer, there are two approaches to integrating ALPR with DW Spectrum: (a) running Stream on-premise and sending the footage to the DW Spectrum client or (b) sending motion alerts with video to be analyzed for ALPR in Plate Recognizer’s cloud. Both on-premise and cloud approaches can forward ALPR results over to the ParkPow Dashboard for simple, effective parking management.

DW Spectrum IPVMS is accessible via the freely distributed DW Spectrum client software (Windows®/Linux®/Mac®) and the free DW Spectrum mobile app for iOS and Android devices. DW Cloud™, a web client service powered by AWS, is included to enable simple remote connectivity, streaming and management of one or an unlimited number of DW Spectrum IPVMS systems from all leading web browsers (Google® Chrome, Firefox®, Internet Explorer®, Safari® and Opera®). The VMS includes pre-configured DW Blackjack® NVR servers and MEGApix® CaaS™ all-in-one camera systems or can be installed on third-party Windows or Ubuntu® Linux-based systems.
