Product Summary
98%+ Plate Accuracy. Edge AI OCR. Automatic Barrier Control. No Manual Ticketing.
Manual ticketing at parking entry and exit points creates queues, requires staffing, and generates paper that no one needs. An ANPR/LPR camera reads every vehicle registration plate automatically — in under 200 milliseconds — and communicates the plate data to the parking management system over TCP/IP. The barrier opens for registered vehicles automatically. Unknown vehicles generate an intercom call or ticket issuance. All vehicle movements are logged with a timestamped plate image and full-frame image for reference.
SSAL deploys ANPR/LPR cameras at commercial car park entry/exit lanes, bank branch driveways, factory main gates, residential compound vehicle access points, and government facility vehicle access control points — reducing staffing costs, eliminating manual vehicle logs, and providing an unambiguous timestamped record of every vehicle that passes through the controlled access point.
Key Features
- 4MP Resolution (2,592×1,944): High pixel count provides the character detail required for reliable OCR across the full range of Bangladeshi, regional, and international registration plate formats — including dirty, partially obscured, or worn plates that defeat lower-resolution systems
- Built-In Edge AI OCR Engine: Character recognition processing occurs within the camera itself — no separate ANPR server hardware required; the camera outputs a structured data packet (plate string + plate image + full frame image) directly to the parking management software via TCP/IP
- ≥98% Plate Read Accuracy (Tested Conditions): SSAL-tested read accuracy for Latin-character Bangladeshi registration plates at the specified installation geometry (approach angle ≤20°, illumination ≥50 lux or IR active, vehicle speed ≤50km/h at barrier lane)
- Speed Range 0–200km/h: OCR algorithm is calibrated for static plates (barrier lane, 0km/h) through to highway speed (200km/h) — a single camera model serves slow-speed controlled access and open-road tolling applications without a different product
- Mechanical + Electronic Shutter: Combined mechanical and electronic shutter eliminates motion blur at higher vehicle speeds — essential for accurate character recognition of registration plates on vehicles approaching at 30–50km/h in unsignalised car park entries
- IR Illumination 30m Range: Dedicated near-infrared illuminator provides consistent plate illumination at up to 30m distance regardless of ambient lighting — ANPR cameras in underground car parks, nocturnal barrier operations, and shaded driveways achieve consistent read rates across all times of day
- Direct API Integration with Parking Management Software: Camera outputs plate recognition events via TCP/IP with a structured payload — direct API connection to SSAL-deployed parking management software (Hikvision PMS, Dahua IPMS, or third-party integration) enables real-time barrier control without a separate ANPR middleware server
- Output — Plate Image + Full Frame Image: Each recognition event includes the cropped plate image (used for human verification in the parking management console) and the full-frame overview image (used for dispute investigation and CCTV audit purposes)
- IP67 Rated: Fully weatherproof for outdoor installation at barrier lane entry and exit points exposed to Bangladesh's monsoon rainfall and road spray
- PoE+ (802.3at) Powered: Single Cat6 cable from PoE+ switch provides power and network connectivity — no separate power supply or conduit required at the camera mounting position
- ONVIF Profile S + T: Standard IP surveillance compatibility enables integration with NVR for continuous video recording alongside the ANPR recognition events — providing a complete vehicle movement log combining recognition data and surveillance video

Typical Applications
- Commercial Car Park Entry/Exit Lane: Season ticket holder's vehicle is automatically recognised and the barrier opens without any driver action or card presentation — guest vehicles trigger ticket issuance or intercom call for payment arrangement; all vehicle movements are logged with timestamped plate and image
- Bank Branch Drive-Through and Staff Car Park: Registered staff vehicles enter automatically; unknown vehicles trigger a guard intercom alert; the parking management system logs all vehicle dwell time for security audit purposes
- Factory Main Gate — Truck and Delivery Management: Pre-registered supplier vehicle plates are loaded into the parking management system; delivery trucks are automatically admitted and their entry time logged against the delivery schedule — eliminates the paper-based manual vehicle log that is a common compliance gap in BGMEA audits
- Residential Compound — Resident Vehicle Access: Resident vehicle plates are pre-registered; barrier opens automatically on plate recognition without requiring a remote control or card — guests are admitted via intercom or visitor management pre-authorisation
- Government Facility — Vehicle Security Audit: All vehicle plates entering and exiting the compound are logged with timestamped images — provides a complete, auditable vehicle movement record for security investigations and government building management compliance
- Shopping Mall Multi-Level Car Park: Entry/exit cameras at each level track vehicle movement within the car park — lost vehicle searches are resolved by querying the plate recognition log rather than reviewing hours of CCTV footage
Compatibility & Integration
ANPR/LPR cameras integrate with Hikvision ParkingPro, Dahua IPMS, and third-party parking management platforms via the camera's TCP/IP API or manufacturer-provided SDK. SSAL integrates ANPR cameras with boom barriers (relay output → barrier controller) for fully automatic barrier operation based on plate recognition. Integration with access control management software enables vehicle plate-to-person linking — a vehicle entering a car park automatically logs the associated employee's vehicle access event in the HR attendance system.
SSAL Supply & Support
Smart Safety & Automations Ltd. designs ANPR camera installations including camera mounting position optimisation (approach angle ≤20°, height 1.2–1.5m for standard passenger vehicles, IR illumination alignment), parking management software configuration, barrier integration testing, and initial vehicle plate database population. SSAL provides a commissioning report including read accuracy test results across a representative sample of vehicles. Annual Maintenance Contracts include IR illuminator performance verification, lens cleaning, and OCR accuracy re-testing.
