Nice development. LPR has been on our roadmap, and we are Genetec end user.

Looking forward to getting our hands on a few of these soon; so much easier to specify and sell as well, as the older Sharp models had about 500 options for each different lens length. Also if you wanted to redeploy, or traffic patterns changed, you had to send the cameras back to the factory to be "re-lensed". The varifocal aspect, as long as it is stable, is a huge time saver.

Its my understanding that the only LPR cameras that Genetec will read license plate data from are their own. This could be a roadblock for migration to Genetec for those end users that have a large base of third party LPR cameras installed. If this is indeed the case, I wonder why Genetec is not opening up their system to allow third party LPR cameras when they claim to have an open architecture system?

So not too familiar with Genetec until recently. Where does one purchase the DVR/NVR's?
