Abstract

The invention which is mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus (1) placed on the vehicles, i.e., police vehicle, with the aim of security, characterized in comprising camera (1.3) which is placed at two sides of the base—front right and front left—and enables the apparatus to capture image; LED lightings (1.4) which are disposed around the cameras (1.3) and face the direction of vision and provide capturing recognizable image at nights; police lights (1.5) which are placed to the front and rear surfaces of said base (1.2) and flash when necessary; alarm control device (1.8) adjusting the alarm; Ethernet connection (1.9) constituting the network; cooling device (1.10) eliminating the heat inside the apparatus; control card (1.11) controlling the police lights; 3G modem (1.12) providing wireless connection constantly; and upper cover (1.1) covering the entire apparatus by surrounding it.

Claims

1. A mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus placed on a vehicle, comprising:

a mounting apparatus which enables said speed detection apparatus to be connected to the vehicle;

a base to which mounting apparatus is positioned and which constitutes a structural skeleton of the apparatus;

at least two cameras, respectively placed on a left portion of a front side of said base and on a right portion of a front side of said base, and enables the apparatus to capture an image;

a plurality of LED lights disposed around the camera, face a direction of vision and capture a recognizable image at nights;

a general view camera positioned at the rear of the base, to analyze the image;

a plurality of police lights placed at the front and rear surfaces of said base;

a recording device positioned on said base (1.2), wherein the image and data are stored in the recording device and the server is disposed in the recording device;

an alarm control device;

an ethernet connection constituting a network;

a cooling device eliminating heat inside the apparatus;

a control card controlling the police lights;

a 3G modem providing a wireless connection;

an upper cover covering the entire apparatus by surrounding said mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus;

and a GPS module by which information about positions and infractions of all number plates are obtained.

2. The mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a portable 12 VDC power supply.

3. The mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a radar, obtaining speed information with a RS-485 connection and adding the speed information to a database.

4. The mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an electric terminal, providing power distribution to components inside the apparatus.

5. The mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising software, having an algorithm to perform speed detection and process the images captured while the apparatus is operating.

6. The mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a connector, providing connections for power, the network, and an alarm.

7. The mobile number plate recognition and speed detection apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising client and network systems.
