Active Recognition Technologies and SecurteX International Partner to Provide Enhanced Security Solutions

PHOENIX, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Active Recognition Technologies (ART), a developer of advanced vehicle and license plate recognition (LPR) software, and SecurteX International, a leader in digital video technology, today announced a partner agreement enabling SecurteX to market and incorporate ART's V-Metrics(TM) software with SecurteX DVR systems.

"SecurteX is a premier DVR supplier with thousands of installed systems," said Arthur Lawida, CEO Active Recognition Technologies. "We are pleased that V-Metrics will be a part of their high quality portfolio and available through their dealer network."

"V-Metrics offers features that can benefit our diverse customer base from enhanced security needs to revenue control," said Ted Humphrey, CEO, SecurteX.

"For example, using our digital surveillance system equipped with V-Metrics software, convenience stores can limit losses by tracking customers that get gas then leave without paying," continued Humphrey. "The system can be set up to trigger an alarm, and automatically will store a full record of the occurrence and a license plate number to track the offender."

V-Metrics software offers superior operating performance and recognition rates worldwide and is particularly suited to the North American market where there are a wide range of license plate templates, fonts and colors. V- Metrics works in controlled or adverse environments, regardless of lighting and weather conditions and with stationary or moving vehicles. Employing a unique combination of vehicle matching algorithms, V-Metrics enables vehicle identification with a high degree of accuracy even if the license plate is partially obscured. The software is easily integrated with existing hardware and software systems.

SecurteX Digital surveillance systems offer standard features not normally available with other systems at an affordable price. SecurteX DVR systems have been installed in a wide range of industries including schools, restaurants, convenience stores, major retailers, government agencies and casinos.
