Sorry to bother you, but what exactly is your question?

* Do you need something like an OCR?
* Do you need to connect to the CCTV?
* Have you checked the articles by Andrew Kirillov here in CP?

So it's the full monty... are you able to get a picture from the CCTV by some interface? So it would boil down to the OCR part...

This is called "OCR": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition[^].

It's really hard to find good open-source OCR code, but your problem is relatively simple; the fonts of the places are unified. From the other hand, you cannot use the dictionary to help recognition. So, you can use something not so good. For example, even
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_%28software%29[^],
http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr[^].

As you can see from the page referenced about, there are .NET wrappers for this product. One more wrapper can be found on Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr[^].

One other approach is using MODI:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/about-microsoft-office-document-imaging-HP001077103.aspx[^],
http://www.documentsnap.com/using-microsoft-office-document-imaging-to-ocr-for-free[^],
OCR with Microsoft® Office[^].

Try to find something else:
http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=OCR+%28%22.NET%22+OR+%22C#%22%29&doctypeid=5[^],
http://bit.ly/1lr6oyp[^].
