About ANPR: Automatic Number Plate Recognition
ANPR (Automated Number Plate Recognition) is video recognition of vehicle number plates. ANPR is used to provide access to a building or a facility without having to use a special access key or virtual credits. ANPR provides access to defined places by recognizing the number plate of the vehicle of the user who is permitted to enter the location.
How does ANPR work?
ANPR works by:
- Setting up a camera at the entrance
ANPR is used for:
- Reading the number plate using a video surveillance system
- Recognizing the number plate
- Permitting the vehicle to access the location based on prior registration of the number plate
To trigger number plate reading access control, a dedicated activation card needs to be assigned to your access controller responsible for managing access for the vehicle fleet.
What are the advantages of ANPR?
The key advantage of ANPR is that it manages access to enclosed spaces. It is also used for securing and restricting access to these defined places by tailoring the number of credits allocated to the vehicle fleet. ANPR is very secure as it provides access to:
- Residents, permanently
- Employees, permanently or temporarily
- Visitors, temporarily
ANPR also real-time monitors users present on the site and the type of access chosen.
Moreover, the speed of the process for reading the number plates reduces wait time and traffic at car park entrances.
From a practical point of view, access and access permission management is simplified as it is carried out upstream:
- Access can be programmed upstream
- User access is contactless and based on the program input beforehand
Setup with the Innova camera (axis camera)
- The vehicle arrives in front of the gate
- The number plate is read by axis camera video surveillance
- The number plate is sent by TCP/IP frequency
- The iPassan server receives the plate number
- The plate number is transmitted by the server to the TCP/IP iPassan controller
- The iPassan controller recognizes the number
- The iPassan controller opens the gate
