License plate recognition FAQs
Software, databases and network infrastructure are all used to process and store LPR data. The software in these systems uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that produces actual text data out of a picture of a plate. Speak to an expert to learn more about what is needed for your LPR system.

As the number of vehicles increases, license plate readers are essential for traffic monitoring, parking management and law enforcement. They provide a cost-effective way to accelerate criminal investigations by scanning plates faster and more accurately than manual methods. These systems automatically cross-reference passing vehicles against hotlists and databases to instantly detect stolen vehicles or persons of interest.
LPR systems use infrared light from a high speed camera to capture a clear image of a vehicle. Next, localization software can determine exactly where the plate is in the photo and the Optical Character Recognition turns the visual shapes into digital text. Finally, this text is put into a database to trigger an action like opening a gate or alerting the police.
Yes, license plate readers work at night using high-powered infrared illuminators and special sensors.
