Recently, we published an article about LPR to introduce data and information about this segment, which focuses on license plate identification and vehicle access control.
After introducing the topic, we aim to provide some equipment recommendations for those starting an LPR project and looking to purchase the right products.
Before selecting products, it’s important to outline the various applications of an LPR project:
• Automation of administrative parking processes, license plate recognition, and triggering actions based on events
• Traffic management in airports and companies to allow only authorized vehicles
• Automated tolls
• Alerts for registered vehicles on a list and management of actions based on alerts
Additionally, it’s important to observe that most LPR projects are implemented in outdoor areas, where image variation can depend on natural lighting, with potential risks of vandalism or natural adversities like storms.
For license plate reading, technologies like Lightfinder or infrared lighting are required to minimize risks of identification incompatibility. With the requirements mentioned above, it’s possible to list some camera models that meet the common characteristics of an LPR project:
AXIS P1367-E
The P1367-E is a rugged outdoor camera that supports various adverse conditions, includes Lightfinder technology, and offers a high 5MP resolution, enabling monitoring under all lighting conditions.
AXIS Q1645-LE
The Q1645-LE features nearly identical characteristics to the previous model, but in addition to Lightfinder, it includes optimizedIR technology with electronic image stabilization. It is a 2MP outdoor camera.
AXIS Q1765-LE
Developed along the same line as the previous Q-series camera, the Q1765-LE includes integrated infrared with 18x zoom and HDTV resolution, allowing license plate reading from up to 275 meters away.
Beyond the models mentioned, there are others available, and you can find them in our online store. Simply search for the camera that best fits your project.
