License Plate Recognition (ANPR)
Automatic license plate recognition (ANPR) that registers, stores and processes vehicle data. Trigger gate opening, document passages and integrate with billing and access control.
What is ANPR?
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) is a technology that uses specialized cameras to read and recognize license plates on vehicles. The cameras capture images of passing vehicles, and the software analyzes the images to extract the license plate number. The data can then be used to trigger actions – such as opening a gate, logging a passage, or sending information to a billing system.

How ANPR Works
From camera to action – in under one second.
Camera captures image
A specialized ANPR camera takes a picture of the vehicle as it approaches. Infrared illumination ensures readability in darkness and backlight.
License plate is read
The software analyzes the image and extracts the license plate number using OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition).
Database lookup
The license plate number is compared against a database of approved vehicles. The database can be local or cloud-based.
Action is performed
Based on the result, an action is performed – gate opening, logging, alerting or data transfer to other systems.
Data Processing and Storage
The ANPR system registers and stores data about each passage. This information can be used for various purposes.
License plate number
The read license plate number is stored along with the time of passage.
Timestamp
Exact date and time of entry and exit is automatically recorded.
Image storage
Images of the vehicle can be stored as documentation when needed.
Export and integration
Data can be exported or automatically sent to billing systems, parking systems or other platforms via API.
