1. License Plate Reader (LPR) Gun Shot Detection (GSD) and Video Surveillance (VS) Subject to the terms and conditions below, the Township is looking to award a contract to a vendor to install, set up and maintain Automated License Plate Readers, Gun Shot Detection System and Video Surveillance as one service to the Township’s Police Department. This will entail: LPR and VS: 2. LPR systems must meet the following minimal performance requirements: ALPR Camera Systems a. LPR systems must be able to perform with high read accuracy at night, in dim lighting and in extreme weather conditions. b. Fixed and mobile ALPR cameras must have the capability to perform video processing at the edge and not require data transfer/streaming of video to the cloud. c. LPR systems must be able to capture vehicle make, model, body type, color, and travel direction, in real time via artificial intelligence-based software, on the edge, as opposed to reliance on motor vehicle registration database lookups. d. LPR cameras must be able of continuing to read, evaluate and retain license plate captures if cellular connectivity is interrupted and to subsequently send all collected data during the interrupted connectivity period to the cloud-based central system when cellular connectivity is reestablished. e. LPR systems must capture the Global Positioning System (“GPS”) coordinates for every recorded license plate read. f. Vehicle detection from LPR cameras must provide an HD (“High Definition”) video clip of the vehicle as it passes the cameras field of view. g. ALPR cameras must be able to store and make accessible to the Township continuously recorded HD video enabling historical review. h. Fixed systems must be capable of supporting “live viewing” through the camera at any time to provide situational awareness. i. Video monitoring and recording must not be disabled when using cameras for ALPR purposes. j. LPR systems shall have an alerting latency of not more than 10 seconds. k. Mobile ALPR systems alert screens must remain displayed until acknowledged by the user, and, while displayed, the system must continue to process license plate data in the background. l. LPR camera systems must be capable (from a single camera) of reading license plates: 1. Across at least three (3) lanes of traffic simultaneously; 2. At a capture range of at least 275 feet during daylight hours and 140 feet during nighttime hours; 3. At vehicle speeds of at least 120 MPH; and 4. In daytime and nighttime from all fifty (50) states, including vanity plates, multiple plates and half-height characters. m. LPR camera systems shall support optional solar or AC power.
