This multifunctional OCR software allows users to reliably identify and analyse any upper-case character and number combination arranged in up to three lines – providing numerous possible applications, including identifying product codes in shops, verifying banknotes, scanning receipts, or reading train UIC identifiers. Compatible with selected Axis cameras, this application is ideal for a range of use cases including the reading of bar codes, ID and serial numbers – increasing efficiency in the scanning and processing of such codes.
Application & Functionality
Ideal for use in a variety of applications that require reliable character recognition, VaxOCR Genesis can be integrated onboard compatible cameras or can be run through a PC application on Windows or Linux operating systems, where multiple cameras can be operated simultaneously. Users with an Axis camera can configure on-camera trigger notifications based on codes on a predetermined black/white list, allowing more nuanced scene awareness and efficient handling of OCR results.
This software uses VaxOCR technology to accurately process characters from still images as well as live and recorded footage, regardless of font shape or image quality – ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications in which codes are required to be read and analysed quickly and accurately. Furthermore, results gathered can be sent in real-time to third-party VMS products such as Axis Camera Station or Milestone XProtect via TCP/IP, HTTP-POST-XML and HTTP-POST-JSON to create a streamlined surveillance solution.
Please note: In low-light conditions, an artificial white light is required to read non-reflective codes.
Integration
Straightforward and user-programmable, this application offers reliable detection with reduced configuration needs. Users are able to set up basic OCR parameters and grammar rules after selecting their video source and the application is ready to go. Each integrated camera requires a licence to be set up on the system and users can choose to install the application straight onto the camera or via the PC client.
Please Note: Users must purchase a licence for either on-board or PC integration, if you require both, an extra licence is required per camera.
The number of cameras that can be integrated into the PC application is dependent on device specifications and expected traffic.
