ALPR FAQs

What is ALPR software?

ALPR (automatic license plate recognition) software is a technology that uses artificial intelligence to read license plates of both moving and stationary vehicles.

It captures an image of the license plate and processes it to identify the characters on the plate. Videoloft’s ALPR software is powered by Plate Recognizer and can detect plates under most conditions – including low light, poor weather, and different angles.

ALPR software is most commonly used for security, parking management and traffic monitoring.

How much does automatic number plate recognition cost?

The LPR add-on is available for just $19.99/£19.99 per camera per month and can be added to any Videoloft cloud plan. This includes detection of up to 10,000 license plates per month. For higher volume requirements, please contact us.
