License plate recognition taken to the next level

License plate recognition (LPR) or automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology has become an economical solution for access control and law enforcement activities. The key elements that go into the solution are a competent IP camera and an analytic software that converts images to computer data. It is important that the camera is capable of capturing excellent quality images, as the analytics software is heavily dependent on this.

Avigilon Control Center HD LPR

Control Center HD LPR provides single and multiple lane LPR with HD accuracy from a single camera. Fully integrated with ACC and combined with Avigilon’s LPR capture kits, high-definition LPR captures license plates with incredible detail in all conditions, 24 hours a day. LPR allows one to import and monitor watch lists, create instant email alerts and on-screen alarms, and perform flexible post-incident plate searches. The system supports Roman and Arabic alphabets and features worldwide license plate recognition.

VIVOTEK IP816A-LPC-v2 Kit

IP816A-LPC-v2 Kit represents a total solution for license plate capture (LPC) applications by leveraging the top-tier image quality and traffic monitoring ability of the IP816A-LPC box camera. The CaMate IR illuminator utilizing CVA Tech provides adjustable beam angles for different distances. A headlight filter is implemented to reduce instances of glare from direct headlight contact. The kit delivers clear license plate images for reliable recognition, in both the sunniest days and the darkest nights. Empowered with VIVOTEK Scene Mode, which provides different exposure levels to avoid overexposure in some lighting conditions, the kit can capture clear plate images from the vehicles moving at speeds of up to 85 mph (140 km/hr).

Luxriot license plate recognition software

Luxriot LPR is an automatic license plate recognition application that is designed to work with the Luxriot VMS Server. This application accommodates customers with the specific need to detect, recognize and register motor vehicle license plates, and then stores recognized license plates and snapshots on local or central database. Luxriot LPR, which supports a multitude of IP and analog cameras, is ideal for vehicle access control applications as well as for traffic control and enforcement applications.

PlateSmart ARES Viewer

ARES Viewer is a stand-alone application with an easy-to-use interface that allows widespread and quick access to vehicle recognition data and alerts in real time. It communicates vital information and allows users to view real-time data from anywhere, at any time, through a VPN connection to their network. ARES Viewer safely locks away the administrative power of the command center and makes plate and notification information available for each licensed user. The command center is the central administrative aspect of ARES, with access to create and manipulate policies, oversee users and change settings as needed. ARES Viewer removes the dangers of mistakenly changing important settings or policies, tampering or deleting data, and provides safe and secure communication from the command center.

IntelliVision License Plate Recognizer

IntelliVision’s License Plate Recognizer is a deep learning and AI-based license plate detection, recognition and search solution with an accuracy as high as 98 percent. It takes into account variables such as movement and high speeds which are natural to the environment of vehicle monitoring. Using still images or video feeds, the product can recognize and capture information located on car number plates and automatically log this information for future inspection. Real-time searching can also be performed on each plate detected, comparing the information gathered with a stored database of license plates. The product works with live cameras and archived video.

Vaxtor VaxALPR PC software

VaxALPR is a software tool for license plate recognition live from one or more video streams on a PC. It sends images to the VaxOCR engine, processes OCR (optical character recognition) results (e.g., free-flow logic, triggered, management of multiple readings, etc.) and implements a higher logic layer that improves native processing and results from the OCR engine. VaxALPR does not requires its own camera. It works on third-party products widely available in the market. The camera features will depend on the scenario conditions, such as parking, urban and highways. A visual and interactive software application, it is user-friendly and easy to configure both video cameras and license plates recognition scenarios.

Genetec AutoVu SharpX ALPR camera

SharpX is an IP-based automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) camera designed for demanding mobile and fixed applications. With its small form factor, high resolution and integrated illumination, the SharpX captures more license plates in a variety of conditions and at high speeds. Supporting up to four cameras connected to a single external processing unit, the SharpX ensures maximum coverage and the highest degree of accuracy in parking and law enforcement applications.
