In today’s world, security is more important than ever. Imagine having the ability to monitor and record every vehicle that enters your property, ensuring peace of mind and enhanced safety. By converting your existing IP camera into a license plate recognition (LPR) system, you can achieve this level of security without investing in expensive, specialized equipment.

This article will guide you through the process of transforming your standard IP camera into a powerful LPR system. From selecting the right camera and software to configuring the settings and testing the system, we will provide step-by-step instructions to help you set up an efficient and reliable car plate reading solution for your business.

What is an IP Camera?

An IP camera, also known as an Internet Protocol camera, is a type of digital video camera that transmits and receives data over a network or the internet. Unlike analogue closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, IP cameras do not require a local recording device but can stream live video and store recordings on remote servers, cloud storage, or network-attached storage (NAS).

What is License Plate Recognition (LPR)?

Automatic number-plate recognition is a technology that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates to create vehicle location data. It can use existing closed-circuit television, road-rule enforcement cameras, or cameras specifically designed for the task.

Key Aspects to Choosing the Right IP Camera:

– High Resolution: Choose a camera with high resolution (at least 1080p) to capture clear images of license plates.

– Night Vision: Ensure the camera has good low-light performance or infrared capabilities for nighttime use.

– Optical Zoom: A camera with optical zoom can help capture details from a distance.

Proper Camera Placement:

– Angle: Position the camera at an angle that captures the front or rear of the vehicle clearly.

– Height: Place the camera at an appropriate height to avoid glare and reflections from headlights.

– Distance: Ensure the camera is neither too close nor too far from the vehicles. Typically, a distance of 10-30 feet works well.

Selecting and Installing LPR Software:

ANPR Hub is a sophisticated and integrated application for automatic registration of license plate numbers, time, place and direction. ANPR Hub works primarily with Egyptian Arab license plates, so the system can read Arabic letters and numbers as well as old and new versions of Egyptian license plates.

The ANPR Hub can recognize Egyptian Arabic plate numbers with a high accuracy of up to 98% even in the most difficult environmental conditions such as dark night and bright sunlight. The engine is developed by our developers and programmers.

We have been operating successfully for more than 8 years.

ANPR Hub Main Features:

  • Recognize handwritten license plates and old license plates
  • Automatic classification of vehicles based on plate color
  • Automatic recognition of vehicle classes based on appearance
  • Automatic recognition of model, brand and color
  • Automatic control of electronic gates
  • Capture and recognize the driver’s face
