What Are ANPR Cameras and How They’re Revolutionizing Smart Surveillance with Just a Controller
Can You Transform a Regular IP Camera into an ANPR Camera?
Yes, you can—without replacing your existing hardware.
This is the game-changing reality of modern ANPR Cameras powered by our innovative ANPR controller.
Imagine automating vehicle access, tracking detailed entry/exit logs, and generating cloud-based reports—all using the IP cameras you already have. That’s the power of ANPR reimagined.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
- What ANPR cameras are and how they work
- How our ANPR controller eliminates the need for additional cameras
- Key features, benefits, and real-world applications
- Why this solution is ideal for Indian roads and infrastructure
Introduction: The Smarter Way to Monitor Vehicles
The future of surveillance isn’t about adding more hardware—it’s about doing more with what you already have.
With our ANPR controller, any standard IP camera (2MP and above) can be transformed into a smart Automatic Number Plate Recognition system. That means no extra cameras, no costly software, and no complex installations.
Thesis: ANPR cameras, when paired with the right controller, deliver cost-effective, accurate, and scalable solutions for modern security and traffic management—right from your existing infrastructure.
What Are ANPR Cameras?
ANPR Cameras (Automatic Number Plate Recognition Cameras) are devices that capture vehicle number plates, convert them into digital text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and process this data for various applications—from law enforcement to gated entry systems.
But here’s what makes our solution revolutionary: You don’t need to buy an ANPR camera.
The New Paradigm: Convert Existing IP Cameras into ANPR Systems
Our ANPR controller allows you to extract license plate numbers from your existing IP cameras—saving both cost and effort.
Why Choose Our ANPR Controller?
- No new camera required
- Connects with up to 4 IP cameras per controller
- Controls boom barriers directly—no extra relay module needed
- Secure cloud data storage + on-device storage up to 50,000 transactions
- 100% OCR accuracy for Indian-registered number plates
- Fully Made in India—hardware and software
- 2-year warranty with full support
- Real-time access, remote monitoring, and API integrations
- Doesn’t interfere with main camera recording (uses sub-stream)
How It Works: ANPR in Action
- Image Capture: The IP camera’s sub-stream feeds into the controller.
- Plate Detection: The controller isolates and detects license plates.
- OCR Extraction: Optical Character Recognition turns the plate into readable text.
- Access Control: Matches with whitelist/blacklist data for entry permissions.
- Logging: Every transaction is logged with:
- Entry/exit time
- Vehicle number
- 3 high-resolution images
- Optional driver photo from an additional camera
- Cloud Sync: All data is pushed to the cloud for remote access and reporting.
