Smarter Parking: Why It’s Time to Switch to an LPR/ANPR System
Lost cards, slow entry queues, and shared access credentials are common issues in traditional parking management. Facilities that still rely on physical access cards often face higher operating costs, congestion during peak hours, and security risks.
What Is an LPR/ANPR System?
An LPR/ANPR (License Plate Recognition / Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system uses the vehicle’s license plate as its access identity.
As a car approaches, high-definition cameras capture and verify the license plate against a registered database, then automatically trigger the barrier gate.
Why Developers and Management Teams Are Switching
1. Faster Access, Less Congestion
Registered vehicles are recognized instantly, allowing seamless entry without stopping or presenting access cards. This significantly reduces peak-hour congestion and improves the daily experience for residents, staff, and visitors.
2. Eliminate Card-Related Costs and Hassles
Physical cards are easily lost, damaged, or shared, creating recurring administrative work and replacement costs. With LPR/ANPR, license plates cannot be misplaced. Access is granted only to registered vehicles, simplifying operations and reducing overhead.
3. Stronger Security and Clear Audit Trails
Unlike card systems, which can be passed between users, LPR/ANPR ties access directly to a specific vehicle. Every entry and exit is automatically recorded with time-stamped visual logs, giving management and security teams a reliable audit trail.
4. Simple, Digital Access Management
All access control is managed digitally. Management teams can whitelist or blacklist vehicles, update access rules, and monitor usage in real time—without collecting or reissuing physical cards.
