What are
LPR cameras?

LPR cameras are advanced traffic sensors used to capture and digitalize images from license plates. This is called License Plate Recognition (LPR) . For LPR to be useful it has to be done in real-time (20ms or less) and with very high precision (99% or more); Regular video cameras can't do this.

Equipped with special hardware and firmware, LPR cameras instantly recognize, capture and analyze the license plate image, performing additional operations beyond the regular OCR (Optical Character Recognition), specific to License Plates (and to every region plate design!); this makes the digitalization process possible in complex/extreme conditions such as moving targets, very open angles, poor ambiance light, fog, dirt, etc.

Specialized LPR cameras perform the whole LPR process without the intervention of external equipment or software.

What are ANPR cameras?

ANPR cameras are sophisticated traffic sensors engineered to photograph and digitalize vehicle license plates. This capability is known as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).

Integrated with specialized firmware and hardware, ANPR devices swiftly identify, snap, and process license plate visuals, executing advanced functions beyond standard OCR that are tailored specifically to license plates and diverse regional plate layouts. This capability enables successful digitalization under demanding or harsh environments, including fast-moving vehicles, wide angles, low ambient lighting, fog, and grime.

To be effective, ANPR must operate instantaneously (within 20ms or less) and achieve exceptional accuracy (99% or higher), standards that standard video cameras fail to meet.

Dedicated ANPR cameras execute the entire ANPR workflow on-edge, eliminating any need for external hardware or software systems.
