ANPR CCTV technology is utilised for reading and capturing vehicle number plates. This is achieved by means of analysing the camera image using optical character recognition software.  ANPR systems can be designed for various applications such as opening car park barriers on recognition of valid vehicle number plates held within a database. Other systems can be used to store images of the car driver as well as the number plate for purposes of law enforcement agencies and the DVLA.  Typical users of ANPR systems include private car parks, garage forecourts, traffic calming, port authorities and airports.

ANPR can be utilised for safety measures including speed monitoring in specific areas such as entrances to properties, roads or car parks.  Scotshield Fire & Security can provide these systems as an affordable alternative to manned operations.
