NEXCOM Fanless Computer Plays Key Role in Police Speed Trap

A traditional security surveillance application relies on human resources for task execution, such as speed-testing and monitoring; however this often results in inefficiency, inaccuracy and increased labor costs. By integrating NEXCOM's fanless computer into their computerized police system, an e-police force in Tianjin, China was able to significantly reduce human resource deployment and simultaneously enhance the systems efficiency and performance.

Application Requirements

A global supplier of advanced video surveillance solutions, which was ranked in the industry's Top 10 by the National Security Brand in China between 2003 and 2010, is committed to delivering reliable and precise solutions for e-policing thus creating a safer environment.

In order to achieve this goal, the company required a solution with exceptional reliability, superb cooling properties and a low maintenance design. In addition, the company wanted a platform which was suitable for 24/7 outdoor operation and be powerful enough to support image processing and number plate recognition under fanless industrial computer solution. After much market research the vendor chose NEXCOM's hardware as the basis for their professional e-police solution.

Successful Solutions

NEXCOM's fanless computer, the NISE 3140M, totally meets the customer's expectations. Housed in a compact robust chassis with fanless design, NISE 3140M is a dust-free, totally reliable platform that greatly lowers maintenance costs.
