ANPR Storage Requirements

Our Lite and Network applications will support upto 4 hard drives per anpr processor whilst all our Kits come fitted with a single drive as standard (the maximum for this product).

When deciding on the amount of storage required for your system, the primary consideration is the quantity of anpr recognition records you need to be available at any time. Typical requirements vary from 1 week to 30 days; if you intend storing these records for longer than a month, make sure you meet your obligations under the Data Protection Act.

Table 1 below shows the typical number of records you can store for 1, 2, 3 or 4 drives. So, if you divide these figures by the estimated number of vehicles you are likely to capture in a day (for all cameras connected to this processor), you will arrive at good guide as to the number of days storage available.

Table 2 below shows the typical number of anpr records you can store when recording anpr-m movies. These figures are based on a movie sequence of 21 frames and can be scaled proportionately for shorter movies.

Notes 1. Both the above tables assume that overview images are full colour PAL
2. No anpr processor will capture more than 1 million records in a 30 day period, even with the highest vehicle flow rates
3. Figures are for guidance only and will vary with scene content and other factors
4. The above illustrations are for the more common configurations, so please contact us for other scenarios
