Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

ANPR reads vehicle number plates so a gate, parking system or control room can log and, where configured, admit registered vehicles without a manual check every time.

Overview

Trendwave Technologies installs ANPR as part of vehicle identification, parking management and secure access monitoring. Cameras are placed where plates are readable — usually at a controlled lane, not on an unrestricted highway. Software and watchlists are set with the client. This is not a GPS fleet-tracking product.

Typical applications

Office and mall parking
Campus and industrial gates
Sites that already use boom barriers
Audit of vehicles entering a secured facility

What you gain

Faster processing of known vehicles
A time-stamped log of plates at the lane
Can open a barrier when a plate is authorised
Works alongside RFID where mixed credentials are needed

Installation and implementation

Accuracy depends on lighting, camera angle, speed of the vehicle and plate condition. We treat those as design inputs, then connect the ANPR output to the barrier or ACMS if required. We do not quote universal capture percentages on this page.

Maintenance and AMC

Support covers camera cleanliness, software health and a check that logs are still being written.

Integrations

Boom barriers
Vehicle monitoring / access stacks
CCTV recorders
ACMS permission lists

Questions we hear on site

Does ANPR replace RFID?

Not always. Some sites use both: RFID for staff and ANPR for visitors or audit.

Can ANPR work at night?

It can, if the lane lighting and camera are specified for night conditions. That is checked during the site survey.
