Redspeed International is proud to announce its pivotal role in “Operation Phantom”, a groundbreaking collaboration with West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster and West Midlands Police (https://www.westmidlands-pcc.gov.uk/ground-breaking-technology-exposes-over-4300-illegal-ghost-plates-in-birmingham/ )This initiative marks a new era in road safety, deploying cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology to tackle the significant and long-standing issue of illegal “ghost plates.”
For too long, these illegal plates (often known as 3D or 4D plates) have been a persistent challenge for law enforcement. Deliberately designed to evade traditional Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems, they have provided a veil of anonymity not only for serious criminals but also for a wider group of motorists seeking to avoid detection.
This isn’t a minor motoring offence; it’s a critical criminal enabler, allowing individuals to avoid everything from speeding tickets and clean air zone charges to more serious crimes like drug trafficking, theft and violent offences.
The Solution: Redspeed’s Sentio Ghost Camera
Operation Phantom’s success is built on the deployment of our advanced Sentio Ghost camera technology. This is not a simple upgrade but a fundamental leap forward in enforcement capability. Our Sentio system uses a multi-faceted approach, combining high-resolution imaging with advanced data analysis algorithms. This allows it to identify and capture even the most sophisticated illegal plates that are invisible to legacy ANPR systems.
The results are a testament to this technology’s effectiveness:
Mr. Tom Duckham, CEO at RedSpeed International, commented:
“This groundbreaking project is the first in the country to demonstrate how our Sentio Ghost camera, which utilises Home Office Type Approval (HOTA) technology, can effectively combat evolving threats like ghost plates. The success of this collaboration not only validates our advanced technology but also establishes a powerful, repeatable framework for other police forces, roads safety partnerships, local authorities and other commercial enterprises facing similar challenges. We are proud to provide law enforcement with the proven, legally sound tools they need to close this significant loophole, ensuring our roads are not a haven for criminals and protecting our communities.”
By providing West Midlands Police with enhanced knowledge, understanding and advanced state-of-the-art technology capability, Redspeed International is helping to ensure the West Midlands remains at the forefront of road safety and enforcement, setting a new standard for a nationwide approach to this persistent issue.

Sentio Shield has officially passed the very stringent UK Home Office Type Approval (HOTA) testing process and now has full Home Office approval.
That makes Sentio Shield’s next-generation 4D radar technology, 4K colour cameras and infra-red night lighting not just the most advanced solution in the world, but the only one approved by the UK Home Office.
The system is totally non-invasive, may be mounted on existing street furniture, and a single unit can capture vehicles approaching and receding in any combination of lanes, on carriageways up to 6 lanes wide.
Because it uses infra-red lighting at night, even so-called ‘stealth plates’ can be readily detected.

To gain official HOTA approval after the most rigorous testing by ISO17025 accredited laboratories is truly exciting news for Redspeed International – and an achievement of which our engineers can be rightly proud.
This is just the first of a several such announcements we’ll be making over the coming months.
