Identify and recognize license plates automatically. ANPR

With the ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) integration, you can detect and process vehicle license plates directly within evalink. Whether for access control, alarm workflows, or automation – license plate data becomes a key part of your security and operational processes.

ANPR adds real-time license plate recognition capabilities to evalink.
Cameras with built-in ANPR features or connected recognition systems automatically identify plates and send the data directly into evalink.

This information can trigger alarms, actions, or automation – for example, opening a gate, logging an entry, or starting a custom workflow.

By combining physical vehicle movements with digital processes, ANPR creates a seamless bridge between on-site activity and automated decision-making.

Key Features

Real-time license plate recognition: Detect and process plates instantly.
Workflow automation: Use recognized plates as triggers for actions or alarms.
Access control: Automatically open gates or barriers for authorized vehicles.
Security response: Trigger alerts for unknown or blocked license plates.
Event logging: Store and analyze vehicle data for reporting and audits.

Benefits

Faster access: Vehicles enter sites without manual checks.
Improved security: Detect unauthorized vehicles immediately.
Automation-ready: Connect license plate data to any workflow in evalink.
Better visibility: Track and analyze traffic over time.
One platform: Manage cameras, events, and responses in a single place.

Use Cases

Automated gate control: Grant or deny access based on license plate lists.
Incident response: Trigger workflows when unknown vehicles enter restricted areas.
Time tracking: Record entry and exit times for fleets or deliveries.
Audit trails: Maintain a searchable log of all detected plates.
External database check: Automatically compare detected license plates with external databases via API – for example, for access permissions, stolen vehicle checks, or dynamic authorization rules.

How it works

Detection: An ANPR-enabled camera detects the license plate as the vehicle enters.
Transfer: The image or plate data is sent to evalink via FTP upload.
Processing: evalink reads the data and assigns it to an object, site, or workflow.
Matching: Optionally, the license plate is checked against an external database via API.
Action: Based on the result, an action is triggered – e.g. open a gate, activate an alarm, or send a notification.

About ANPR Integration

ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology is widely used for security, logistics, and access automation. By integrating ANPR into evalink, you gain powerful new ways to automate site access, monitor traffic, and respond to incidents – all without leaving the platform.
