Plate Recognizer
Accurate, Fast, Developer-Friendly ALPR
Plate Recognizer is automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) software that decodes plates from images and live video, handling challenging conditions such as blur, darkness, angles, glare, and low resolution. It also extracts vehicle attributes like make, model, color, region, and direction of travel, and supports plates from over 90 countries with region-specific tuning.
The product line includes Snapshot for image-based plate decoding, Stream for live camera RTSP or video processing, and ParkPow for parking management with occupancy reports, alerts, and dashboard analytics. Additional modules cover Blur for redacting plates and faces, VisionAlert for camera health monitoring, ContainerID, PeopleTracker, Vehicle Accessories, Vehicle Categories, VIN/TrailerID/USDOT OCR, and BoatID. Integrations are available with cameras, VMS platforms, and ParkPow, with webhooks, detection zones, and sample code in eight languages. Software runs in the cloud or on-premise on Windows, Linux, Jetson, and Raspberry Pi.
Plate Recognizer is aimed at developers and operators in parking management, highway monitoring, and toll management. Snapshot is priced by monthly lookups with a free tier, while Stream, ParkPow, VisionAlert, and several other modules are priced per camera with free trials. Blur and the OCR modules are priced by monthly image or lookup volume. Subscription and perpetual licenses are available, with annual maintenance included in subscriptions.
