LPR camera at the gate

LPR (licence-plate reading) sits at the vehicle entrance. The camera reads the plate when the car enters or leaves. A fixed camera at the gate sees movement; LPR has to see the plate at an angle and light that allow a read.

Palo Security supplies LPR cameras. The lines are Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Avigilon, EZVIZ and Bosch. The number of lanes and the model are part of the quote.

What LPR does at the gate

• Record the plate on the way in and out, for the shift archive.
• Support the receptionist: the screen shows the plate, not only the front of the car.
• Serve the parking or the compound where vehicles pass a known point.

What it is not

It does not replace access control on the people door, the gate motor, or the camera that watches the queue. Each can go in the same request. LPR is not the MDVR on the patrol vehicle: one reads the plate at the access, the other records the patrol route.

Lanes, light and the recorder

One lane is one direction of travel. Two lanes are two reading points. Light and position decide whether the plate reads at night. The recorder — usually an NVR, because LPR is an IP camera — stores the video. Archive time goes in the same request as DVR and NVR in the other article.

What to say in the request

1. How many inbound and outbound lanes.
2. Whether the read is by day and by night.
3. Whether a camera at the gate, access control or a gate motor already exists.

We do not invent the number of cameras. The access lanes define the set. Tell us the gate and we prepare the quote.
