All you need to know about ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition)

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an advanced technology that has become increasingly important in vehicle monitoring and security systems. By using high-resolution cameras and advanced image recognition, ANPR systems can automatically read and record license plates on vehicles.

What is ANPR?

ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) is used to automatically read and record license plates on vehicles. It involves using cameras and image recognition systems to quickly and accurately identify and extract information from license plates.

The technology behind ANPR is based on advanced image and pattern recognition. The cameras capture images of the vehicle's license plates, and the image recognition system analyzes and interprets the images to extract alphanumeric characters on the plate. These characters are then matched against a database for identification and monitoring.

How can ANPR be used?

ANPR can be used to automate and improve parking management by quickly reading license plates at parking lots, as well as to check parking permits, monitor parking times and issue parking fees. It can also be used for traffic surveillance by monitoring speed, driving behavior and traffic flows and identifying vehicles that violate traffic rules. 

ANPR can also be used to control access to private areas and to monitor and track vehicles within fleets or dealerships. In security and law enforcement, ANPR can be used to identify suspicious vehicles by linking them to databases of wanted and stolen vehicles.

By integrating ANPR with other technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, systems can deliver even more powerful results.

What are the benefits of ANPR for property and land owners?

By automating the process of identifying, registering and tracking vehicles, the ANPR system can effectively manage the flow of traffic without the need for manual supervision. 

Efficient parking management

The ANPR system can automate parking surveillance and identify vehicles that park illegally or exceed time limits. This reduces the need for manual monitoring and makes it easier to keep parking areas in order. By streamlining parking management, property owners can maximize the use of parking spaces and prevent abuse.

Improved customer experience

ANPR enables a smoother and more convenient parking experience for visitors and tenants. By offering quick identification and easy access to parking spaces, property owners can create a positive impression and make it easier for visitors. In addition, ANPR can be used to offer flexible parking options, such as prepaid parking cards or mobile apps, further enhancing the customer experience.

Increased security

ANPR can be used to monitor and identify vehicles in and around the property, contributing to increased security. It makes it possible to quickly detect suspicious or unwanted vehicles and take appropriate action. ANPR can also be integrated with other security systems, such as access control or surveillance cameras, to create a more comprehensive and effective security infrastructure.

Increased revenue potential

By using ANPR, property owners can optimize their parking revenues. The system enables better monitoring and management of parking spaces, reducing the risk of unauthorized parking or unused spaces. By offering safe and flexible parking options and efficient payment systems, property owners can also increase revenue by attracting more parking customers.

Easy administration and analysis

ANPR simplifies the administration of parking management by automating processes such as registering vehicles and issuing parking fees. This reduces the administrative burden and frees up time and resources for property owners to focus on other important tasks. The ANPR system can also generate detailed reports and analytics on parking activities, providing valuable insight and decision-making support in areas such as change management.

Parkit can ANPR

Parkit focuses on creating secure and efficient solutions that meet the specific needs and requirements of customers in both the public and private sectors. Using advanced technologies and innovative solutions, Parkit offers customized systems to control access, monitor and ensure a smooth parking experience. These systems include features such as ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), RFID technology, remote control and mobile apps for easy and convenient management of parking permits and access control. 

100% control and monitoring

With our camera technology ANPR at entry and exit registration, you get better control of how your parking is used. We collect the data and use it to optimize your parking areas.

Convenient for your customers

All the user has to do is enter their registration number in their parking permit, and then the passage registration is done automatically. Parkers with active contracts are automatically whitelisted by the system.

Smooth and easy

Instead of blips, dongles and other administrative burdens, we leave all the work to the customer - in this case entering their license plate number into the phone.

Easy for your customers

Digitizing your gate and barrier management by using cameras to record entries and exits makes it easy for your visitors and customers. All visitors have to do is register their registration number via their smartphone. The system then automatically takes care of the rest, ensuring they have a smooth parking experience.

Open via phone

Should the technology or camera for some reason be down at the moment, the customer can always open the gate directly via their mobile app in their parking permit. This solution is also an option for those BRFs or property owners who do not want to invest in, among other things, a camera or network extension.
