License Plate Recognition (LPR) through video has come a long way. Ten years ago, the technology in cameras couldn’t quickly catch and replicate license plate images in a way that made LPR widely useable. Yes, it was available, but it was hit-and-miss, and not as effective as law enforcement might like.
Since then, the technology has improved; along with an understanding of the importance of camera placement. So, if you are looking for LPR to cover your business or property, what do you need to know? Here are a few suggestions from our experts at H&S:
– LPR requires a dedicated camera, built to capture fast-moving plates clearly — day or night.
– It needs to be mounted at the right height and angle for reliable results.
– Placement near entry and exit points (where vehicles enter or exit a facility) is key for tracking who’s coming and going.
We’ve learned a lot about LPR over the years, including the importance of camera placement to ensure the best choke points and the best overall results. That is something H&S brings to the table.
Ten years ago, we would not have recommended LPR except in very limited circumstances. Today, we can confidently give you our support and advice to ensure the technology works for you at the level you expect.
At H&S, we integrate and install LPR cameras that work seamlessly with your security needs. Want to learn more? Give us a call at 715-344-0727 (Stevens Point office) or 262-574-7777 (Pewaukee office).
