This isn’t just any integration. It’s a major milestone.  

With this certification, the Einar access control camera becomes a trusted part of New Zealand’s most advanced real-time visual intelligence network — a system enabling secure, privacy-conscious collaboration between city councils, businesses, and law enforcement. 

What Makes This a Big Deal?

In one word: trust.  

The vGRID SaferCity Platform is built for cities and communities that need to act fast — whether it’s recovering stolen vehicles, responding to incidents, or managing large-scale events. But with that speed comes responsibility. That’s why only certified cameras can connect to vGRID — and only those that meet strict technical, performance, and privacy standards.  

Einar passed with flying colours — and in fact, it enhances the platform. 

Why Einar? 

Einar Gen2 combines cutting-edge technology with robust features that perfectly complement the vGRID SaferCity Platform, making it an essential tool for any city aiming to create a smart, efficient, and privacy-focused urban traffic and parking system. 

• Onboard ANPR and MMR (Make, Model, Color) detection — no external processing needed, enabling rich vehicle profiling to boost operational efficiency and revenue potential. 

• Edge-based operation for real-time performance and minimal bandwidth use. 

• Encrypted communication via the vGRID Gateway, fully aligned with the New Zealand Privacy Act.   

• Reliable accuracy in all conditions — from extreme weather and low light to tricky angled plates. 

• Instant responsiveness, supporting quick decisions when every second counts. 

• Privacy by design — data processed locally and shared only with authorised parties, ensuring compliance and full control. 

Together, these features deliver a secure, efficient, and privacy-conscious solution ready for modern traffic and parking management challenges. 

The Platform Behind It All: vGRID SaferCity 

Developed by SaferCities, vGRID connects over 10,000 CCTV and ANPR cameras into a secure, scalable national network. Its mission? To provide real-time visual awareness across agencies — while giving camera owners full control over when and how their data is accessed.  

It’s public safety done right: fast, flexible, and fully privacy compliant.
