OpenALPR

What OpenALPR is

A recognition system that reads vehicle plates and attributes from camera images and stores the results in a searchable database.

It is used where vehicle movement needs recording and later retrieval, such as car parks, campuses and traffic management.

What you can do with it

• Recognise plate numbers automatically
• Record vehicle colour, make and model
• Build a searchable vehicle log
• Manage access at entrances and exits
• Search records after an incident
• Integrate with camera installations

Who it is for

• Parking operators
• Law enforcement technical teams
• Campus and park security
• Traffic management organisations

What to watch out for

• Vehicle and plate data is personal data in many jurisdictions, with rules on collection scope, retention and access
• Local regulations may require notice, a stated purpose, or restrict use entirely
• Accuracy varies with camera angle, lighting, speed and plate condition
• Misidentification can have serious consequences if used for enforcement
