STS Selects Arecont Vision Megapixel Cameras For Vehicle Documentation Solution

Glendale, CA (October 1, 2009) – Arecont Vision, the industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera technology, announces the integration of their cameras by Service Tracking Systems (STS) – a provider of technology solutions for various customer service applications. The HDCamPro high-definition camera lane system developed by STS incorporates Arecont Vision’s megapixel cameras to record the condition of vehicles before it enters the parking facility or exchanges hands with the temporary vehicle operator. The Arecont Vision cameras provide high-definition images that document the condition of vehicles, including every ding, dent and scratch, to confirm or contradict damage liability claims.



“Our clients have reported a significant improvement in their ability to deny responsibility for pre-existing damage due to the increase in video quality provided by Arecont Vision megapixel cameras,” said Andy Preas, President STS. “We are proud to be able to provide our clients with hundreds of dollars worth of savings each year by reducing the number of damage claims paid out.”  The HDCamPro system uses Arecont Vision cameras installed at a customer's location – typically six cameras per lane. The cameras connect to an IP network that uses CVPS valet parking software from STS running on a Windows platform. A parking attendant can trigger the Arecont Vision cameras to capture megapixel images, which are stored locally in a JPEG format and later copied to a file server.



“We have used a variety of analog cameras over the years for various applications, and as the cost of data storage dropped, we began considering the transition to IP-based cameras,” said Preas. “We primarily liked the increase in video quality, reduction in necessary hardware such as the need for a frame grabber PCI card, and the increase in processing speed.”



“Other cameras we tested were not capable of capturing the high-quality images we were looking for,” said Preas, who noted that the quality is one of the attributes of Arecont Vision cameras STS likes best. “We are very pleased with the Arecont Vision cameras,” Preas added. “They are easy to configure and the speed with which the cameras respond is impressive.”
