Traffic security systems
Modern traffic systems utilise license plate recognition to properly identify vehicles and filter out traffic violators, with special analytics to detect speeding, red light crossing, wrong lane usage and more.
LICENSING OPTIONS
Carmen® ANPR Image is available in the following licensing configurations:
-
Carmen® Freeflow single-core (1) license
-
Carmen® Freeflow dual-core (2) license
-
Carmen® Freeflow quad-core (4) license
With the single-core license, images from the camera(s) are processed on the same core of the CPU. This option is adequate for monitoring low to medium traffic.
Multi-core licenses allow to use more cores (threads) from the same CPU at the same time. These are recommended for handling high, multi-lane traffic flow.
Engines are updated quarterly.
Single, Dual, or Quad-core
Carmen® K is a credit-based version of the Carmen® Freeflow quad-core (4) license.
It is ideal for places where license plate recognition is only needed during predetermined periods (for example, during the day). With Carmen® K, you can process 11,520 images per day. You also get a 300 credit buffer storage capacity, permitting the instant processing of 300 images. Once credits are used up, Carmen® K needs roughly 38 minutes to reload credits.
Carmen® K (Quad)
Licenses are granted via hardware keys provided by Adaptive Recognition. If there is no option to plug in a hardware key on the spot, you can share licenses via your network by opting for our in-built solution, Carmen® License Server.

ENGINE UPDATE OPTIONS
Our flexible options allow you to tailor the licensing to your needs and decide what you want to pay for.
A year after the initial purchase (during which you automatically receive quarterly updates), you can choose to keep using the software as it is forever, with no additional charges.
If you wish to keep getting access to quarterly engine updates and continuous improvements, then simply renew your yearly license.
You decide.
