Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a core surveillance and data management technology that uses optical character recognition (OCR) on images to automatically read vehicle license plates. Cameras, often enhanced with infrared illumination, capture plate images, and specialized software converts the image into alphanumeric data. This data is instantly checked against databases for law enforcement, security, and traffic management purposes. ANPR systems are a fundamental tool for modern policing, toll collection, parking management, and border control, automating the identification and tracking of vehicles.

Key System Functions:
– High-Speed Image Capture: Dedicated cameras capture clear plate images from moving vehicles, day or night, in various weather conditions.
– Real-Time OCR Processing: Software rapidly isolates the plate area and converts the characters into machine-readable text.
– Instant Database Matching: The read plate number is checked against hotlists for stolen vehicles, warrants, AMBER alerts, or unauthorized access lists.
– Data Logging & Forensics: Time, date, and location of each read are stored, creating a searchable audit trail for investigative purposes.
– Fixed, Mobile & Portable Deployment: Systems are installed at fixed points (roads, borders), in patrol cars, or as temporary checkpoints.
– Traffic Flow & Access Control: Manages toll payments, parking access, congestion charging, and secure facility entry/exit.
