ANPR system solves access problems for Swansea hospital
Insight Intelligent Vision Ltd implemented a CitySync (part of Image Sensing Systems) ANPR system with FAAC barriers on all entry and exit points to the staff car park. Insight installed Jet Cam Bollards and Jet Base ANPR software to manage and control staff access rights. The existing permit database was then imported in to the ANPR system. This allows permitted vehicles access to the site automatically as and when required, eliminating the need for access cards and parking permits. The centralised database currently holds in excess of 2500 records and is due to be integrated with five other hospitals in the Wales NHS Trust.
The existing intercom system was retained and manual overrides were included to allow manual operation of the barrier system. John O’Connell of Insight Intelligent Vision said: “Installing the ANPR system has made it so much easier to manage the parking at Singleton Hospital. The Head of Security is very impressed with the new system.”
