Frequently Asked Questions About ANPR Systems
What Does an ANPR System Check?
An ANPR system, or Automatic Number Plate Recognition system, is a camera-based technology that can automatically read and record the number plates of vehicles. These systems are commonly used by law enforcement agencies to track and monitor illicit or illegal activity. However, they can also be used for other purposes, such as monitoring traffic flow, collecting tolls and assisting with car park management. When a vehicle passes an ANPR camera, the licence plate is photographed and the image is then processed by software that extracts the plate number. This information can then be checked against a database of known vehicle registrations. This allows the system to quickly and easily identify vehicles that may be of interest. In addition, ANPR systems can also be used to track stolen vehicles or to enforce parking tickets.
How Can an ANPR Camera Issue Fines?
ANPR cameras can log a vehicle’s number plate on entry, and this process is also repeated on exit. The stored data can then be used to confirm if the car was authorised to park or whether it violated the facility’s parking terms.
In this case, data is then cross-referenced with the DVLA’s Vehicle Keepers’ details database so that a parking fine can be automatically issued.
ANPR parking systems can also monitor and enforce:
- Maximum stay limits
- Whitelisted (pre-approved and authorised) vehicles
- Permit and registered vehicle parking
- Parking for paying customers only
- Pay and display parking
- Pay on exit systems
Can ANPR Read Black Number Plates?
Many people are concerned about ANPR’s ability to read black number plates. While it is true that black number plates can be more difficult to read, most ANPR systems are designed to handle a wide range of plate colours and styles. In addition, many parking enforcement agencies now use mobile ANPR units, which can be moved to different areas as needed and provide a clear view of the parking spaces. As a result, there is no need to worry about black number plates; parking enforcement officials will still be able to issue PCN based on the number plate.
Does ANPR Work at Night?
One common question about ANPR is whether the system can work at night. The answer is yes, ANPR cameras are designed to work in all lighting conditions, including low light and darkness. This is because the cameras use infrared lighting, which is invisible to the human eye but allows the camera to take clear images even in dimly lit or dark areas. As a result, ANPR is an effective tool for parking enforcement.
Can ANPR Cameras Read Dirty Number Plates?
Yes, ANPR can read dirty number plates to some extent. However, it does depend on how much dirt is present on the number plate, as this can make it difficult for the camera to identify the unique characters.
Where is the Best Place to Put an ANPR Camera?
An ANPR camera for a car park must be placed in a location that allows it to capture clear images of all vehicles as they enter and exit. With this in mind, the best places would be on a column or overhead beam near any car park entry and exit points.
At Parking Patrol, our team will ensure that all your ANPR cameras are perfectly positioned for prime image capturing.
What Are the Advantages of ANPR?
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition to read vehicle registration plates. It can be used for various purposes, including law enforcement, security, traffic management and within parking facilities. ANPR systems can be used to monitor vehicle movement, track stolen vehicles, and enforce parking and toll violations. One of the main benefits of ANPR is that it is highly accurate. The system can quickly and easily read even the most obscured or illegible registration plates. Additionally, ANPR systems are typically very fast, able to capture hundreds of licence plate images per minute. This makes them an effective tool for monitoring large areas such as highways or busy car parks.
What Triggers ANPR Cameras?
ANPR cameras are typically triggered when a vehicle enters or leaves a parking space. The camera will record the licence plate number and use it to generate a parking ticket if needed. In some cases, the camera may also take a photo of the vehicle to help enforcement officers identify it. While ANPR cameras are most commonly used for parking enforcement, they can also be used for other purposes, such as tracking stolen vehicles or monitoring traffic flow. In any case, ANPR cameras are an essential tool for keeping parking areas safe and orderly.
Is ANPR linked to DVLA?
Yes, ANPR systems are linked to the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), and the data stored can be used to justify enforcement actions, such as warning letters, out-of-court settlements, court prosecutions, wheel clamping, and vehicle impoundment.
The DVLA stores ANPR data on untaxed vehicles for up to 12 months, which is only accessible to the relevant DVLA staff.
What is the Grace Period for ANPR?
In June 2024, the British Parking Association (BPA) introduced a 10-minute grace period for private car parks.
This grace period was introduced to give vehicle owners time to leave the car park, preventing them from being issued a parking charge. This grace period also applies to vehicle owners who enter a car park and decide not to stay.
However, it’s important to note that some operators may not offer this grace period, so we suggest checking the terms and conditions of any car park you wish to use.
