ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition)

Automatic number plate recognition (sometimes called LPR, license plate recognition) is a form of traffic control technology that has become vital to private security and public law enforcement.

At Lucas CCTV, our ANPR services are precise and reliable, ideal for identifying cars, facilitating effective traffic flow, and enabling access control.

How does ANPR work?

Automatic number plate recognition cameras capture an image of a car number plate and convert it to alphanumeric characters in under a second. Using this cutting-edge technology, users can cross- reference these plates with a database of registered vehicles to trigger appropriate actions such triggering an alarm or raising a barrier.

How is ANPR used?

ANPR systems are used by a wide range of clients, including local authorities and private companies. If you deal with any of the following, Lucas CCTV’s ANPR service may be suitable for your concerns:

Law Enforcement

The primary, everyday use of this is checking for speeding vehicles on the motorway – an ANPR camera will take two timed images of the same vehicle, which can be used to determine the vehicle’s speed by comparing the locations.
