Summary	The N4 road runs 630km between Pretoria, South Africa and Maputo, Mozambique. A new Vivotek solution was installed along the roads and in the toll booths. Like a similar deployment in Zambia, Vivotek VAST 2 VMS is in use, which has integrated facial recognition and smart search functions. Therefore although it is not stated that facial recognition is definitely in use, it can be speculated that it is as well as other forms of smart video analysis such as person detection which are facilitated by VAST 2. License plate recognition is certainly in use.

Description

The N4 toll road is 630km long and runs from Pretoria to Maputo, Mozambique. VAST 2 has integrated facial recognition as well as a number of other smart features, as detailed in the brochure 2.

Surveillance on the N4 route is integrated, Mainly, by analog cameras and DVRs. Swap outdated analog equipment for IP surveillance along 630 kilometers poses a great challenge, without taking into account the need for a smooth transition without disrupting daily toll operations. Commissioned by Trans Africa Concessions (TRAC), Vivotek collaborated with the system integrator, Africa Technology Operations and Maintenance (ATOM), to upgrade and replace hundreds of cameras on the N4 toll road. This has included upgrading many individual DVRs to a centrally managed system., using VAST software 2 by Vivotek 1

Inside the toll booths there are also cameras.

Inside the toll booths, along the N4, have been installed 105 Vivotek cameras IT9389-H to record high-quality audiovisual data as evidence in case of disputes. The IT9389-H outdoor turret cameras 5 megapixels have Supreme Night Visibility (Snv) And 120 dB WDR Pro, ensuring high-resolution images at 30 fps at any time of the day 1
