Rapier 55
[ Legacy product ]High Definition ANPR Camera with Pulsed IR LED Illumination
The Rapier 55 ANPR camera incorporates high grade camera technology, innovative InfraRed (IR) pulsed LED design and multiprocessor control circuitry providing formidable ANPR/LPR camera solutions for professional use in fixed situations.
The Rapier 55 provides images for worldwide number plate recognition at a typical range of 5 to 50 metres but has also been proven to provide consistently high visibility plate images at distances in excess of 60 metres, day and night. Rapier 55 provides both IR images for ANPR recognition and colour overview images for evidential capture.
Rapier 55 offers multi-level frame-by-frame variation of IR illumination as standard so that it can provide high quality images from a wide range of differing number plate characteristics. Combined with an impressive 37x optical zoom, the Rapier 55 outperforms all its competitors.
Rapier 55 has been designed for ease of use in fixed applications with standard CCTV installation options for use on gantries, lamp posts and bridges.
The camera’s housing is fully sealed to IP68 and purged for long life performance.

Cable harness sets
The camera is fitted with high-grade locking connectors. Connection from the Rapier to the ANPR equipment is available through CAT5e cabling. The unit is powered by12VDC power and has I/O connectivity for triggering multiple units.
Brackets
A range of metal cradles, brackets and sunshields are available for fixed installations. Modified and bespoke metalwork can be designed and supplied to meet specific demands. Standard ranges include rapid fixing brackets/adaptors to standard CCTV (4”/102.5mm PCD), RAM Mount and tripod connectors in pole/wall mount configurations with tilting/panning and yaw capabilities for better alignment. The sunshields are available in a variety of construction techniques and sizes.
Pan and Tilt
MAV Systems provide pan and tilt heads, and interface units, to enable remote movement of the camera position. Pan and Tilt units have jog and preset capabilities that can be combined with presets to create integrated fixed platforms. Pan and Tilt interfaces support industry standard protocols, with enhanced features through the MAV AVML protocol.
Ethernet (IP) Encoding of Video and Camera Control
An extended version of Rapier 55 offers integrated 2 channel video encoding to MJPEG and H.264 standards. The Rapier incorporates integral Ethernet switch and serial over Ethernet capabilities. This product requires no frame grabber at the PC and can be incorporated into any structured cabling system for wide area video connectivity.
