Basic MK2 Varifocal: autofocus and more
The autofocus feature guarantees a sharp and precise view in all conditions, with continuous calibration, ensuring that the reading parameters remain accurate over time. Thanks to its advanced technology, this camera adapts to different reading distances, from 3 meters (10 feet) up to 15 meters (50 feet), providing clear visibility both day and night. Its flexibility allows easy installation at various heights and distances, while the fast autofocus ensures the best automatic license plate recognition performance.
The onboard access control list management offers a smooth solution for improved security and control. Basic MK2 Varifocal boasts a low latency of just 100 milliseconds between reading and opening, providing instant responsiveness.
The camera is fully compatible with Stark, the software designed and developed by Tattile. Stark facilitates versatile output configurations with filtering options, allowing for customization to meet different needs and ensuring optimal performance in any environment. With more than 12 annual releases, Tattile ensures continuous improvement, keeping the camera at the forefront of security and efficiency.
Basic MK2 Varifocal can be part of larger systems and connected to other devices and systems: devices such as ALPR cameras are placed in public areas and can be approached by ill-intentioned individuals, potentially leading to cyberattacks. That’s why Tattile cameras, equipped with Stark, have an IEC62443 cybersecurity certification, contributing in a concrete way to making the management of sensitive data and infrastructures more secure, with tangible benefits for customers.
The camera can host the new Stark regional OCR, powered by A.I. neural networks. Designed for Europe and the USA, it delivers execution times of less than 200 milliseconds and high levels of reading accuracy performances, including state recognition.

Technical features
Extremely compact to reduce installation impact, it can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C (from -40°F to +140°F). Basic MK2 Varifocal is also equipped with an innovative A.I. vehicle and license plate detector, enabling comprehensive traffic and access control. The neural network algorithms use a hardware neural accelerator to guarantee high performance, with a detection rate of up to 99% and a recognition rate of up to 98%.
The camera features a Power-Over-Ethernet (POE+) interface, reducing installation and maintenance time. The automatic license plate recognition camera works even in the event of a data connection failure, by automatically buffering images in local memory. The stored images are automatically transmitted once the network is restored, avoiding any loss of transits.
Since a single camera can support multiple layouts, Basic MK2 Varifocal is the perfect solution for optimizing customer stock, reducing inventory complexity and maximizing flexibility. Its superior artificial intelligence capabilities, high detection and recognition rates, and seamless integration with Stark enhance security while streamlining operations.
By choosing Tattile’s Basic MK2 Varifocal, one can effectively reduce inventory complexity, offer the possibility to adapt to various needs and expect unparalleled performance.
