This is a fully integrated, rugged, vehicle license plate capture camera solution, combining camera, lens, lighting, filter, housing and bracketry, in a single calibrated and tested unit. The colour overview camera can be installed as option in the same housing. Recognition processor external to the camera.The WalzCAM can handle any speed from 1 to 200 km/h (1 to 125 mph), and distances for up 20 meters (66 feet), making it ideal for application ranging from parking to highways.

To accurately read a license plate, it is crucial to have the best image of the license plate for the read to work on. Employing conventional security or surveillance cameras for number plate capturing, will give good results under ideal conditions of diffuse sunlight. There are however other conditions that cause a severe degradation of image quality and a consequent reduction in accuracy. Such conditions include: 
- Headlight or brake lights dazzles the camera
- Strong sunlight dazzles the camera or put the license plate in the shade
- Strong reflections cause glint
- Rain or other environmental conditions can obscure the view
Intertraff has developed WalzCAM, to ensure that the image is clear and bright, even under adverse conditions.
WalzCAM is a fully integrated, rugged, vehicle license plate capture camera solution, combining camera, lens, lighting, filter, housing and bracketry, in a single calibrated and tested unit.

The camera comprises a high resolution monochrome CCD camera with high sensitivity in the infra-red, surrounded by 240 IR LEDs.

The WalzCAM is available for immediate use in diverse applications, such as Journey Time Monitoring, Congestion charging, Tolling, Surveys, Stolen vehicle recognition, Customs controls, Access control and Car park management, vehicle routing and entrance and exit barrier control. It includes provision for operation with control car park barriers.
Each unit incorporates:
– Integral monochrome camera module, with lens and optical band-pass filter
– Integral infrared (IR) light emitting diode (LED) illuminator which compensates for sunlight and vehicle headlights
– Power supply unit
The unit is environmentally sealed to IP67 to protect against all weather conditions. The LED illuminator used in the WalzCAM have been assessed to Safety Standards IEC 60825-1:1993 Amendment 2 dated 2001-01 and BS EN 60825-1:1994, with Amendments 1 and 2
