ANPR — automatic number plate recognition

Manually logging vehicles at a gate is slow, error-prone and impossible to do consistently around the clock. Yet for factories, societies, parking and secure sites, knowing exactly which vehicles enter and when is essential for both security and operations.

Vianix ANPR automatically reads vehicle number plates from your existing cameras — logging entries, enabling access control, and flagging unknown or blacklisted vehicles in real time.

Overview

What is anpr?

ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), also called license plate recognition, uses computer vision to automatically read and log vehicle registration plates from camera feeds. It enables automated gate access, vehicle logging, parking management and security alerts — replacing manual registers with accurate, timestamped, searchable records.

Capabilities

What it does

Automatic plate reading

Read and log vehicle number plates at gates, entrances and parking in real time.

Access control

Allow or flag vehicles against approved and blacklist lists automatically.

Entry/exit logging

Maintain accurate, timestamped, searchable records of every vehicle movement.

Unknown-vehicle alerts

Get alerted when an unrecognised or flagged vehicle enters.

Parking management

Track occupancy and automate entry/exit for parking facilities.

Works with your CCTV

Uses suitable existing cameras over RTSP/ONVIF where placement allows clear plate capture.

Benefits

Why it matters

Automate the gate

Replace manual vehicle registers with accurate automated logging.

Stronger security

Instantly flag unknown or blacklisted vehicles at entry.

Searchable records

Find any vehicle's entry/exit history in seconds for investigations.

Faster flow

Speed up gate and parking access with automated recognition.

In practice

A real scenario

Example: A vehicle approaches a society gate. Vianix reads its plate, checks it against the resident list, logs the entry with a timestamp, and — because this plate isn't recognised — alerts the gate guard to verify before allowing access. Every vehicle, every time, automatically.

FAQ

ANPR — questions answered

What is ANPR?
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) is AI that automatically reads vehicle number plates from camera feeds, enabling automated logging, access control and security alerts — replacing manual vehicle registers.
Can it work with existing cameras?
Yes, where camera placement and image quality allow a clear view of plates. For best results, gate cameras are positioned to capture plates clearly; we assess this during a site survey.
Can it flag unknown or blacklisted vehicles?
Yes. Vianix can check read plates against approved and blacklist lists and alert instantly when an unrecognised or flagged vehicle enters.
Is it useful for parking and societies?
Yes. ANPR automates gate access, vehicle logging and parking management for societies, factories, parking facilities and commercial premises.
Can records be kept on-site?
Yes. Vianix can run on-premise so all plate data and logs stay within your network, aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
Does this work with my existing CCTV cameras?
Yes. Vianix is camera-agnostic and works with your existing IP cameras and NVR over RTSP and ONVIF — including Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and other major brands — so there's no need to buy new hardware.
How are alerts delivered?
Vianix sends real-time alerts via WhatsApp, SMS, email or the on-site dashboard, each with a short video clip as proof, routed to the person responsible for that camera or zone.
Can it run on-premise so data stays private?
Yes. Vianix offers full on-premise deployment where all video and processing stay inside your own network and nothing reaches any external cloud — aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
How quickly can it be set up?
Most deployments go live in days. We connect to your existing cameras, configure the detections you need, tune them, and hand over — so your team starts getting alerts quickly. The best starting point is a free proof-of-concept on your own feeds.
