Unlock Smarter Vehicle Monitoring with Verkada License Plate Recognition
In today’s security landscape, monitoring vehicles entering and exiting your property is a critical component of maintaining safety and efficiency. Verkada’s License Plate Recognition (LPR) module, integrated into the robust Verkada Command platform, offers organizations a seamless way to enhance perimeter security and streamline vehicle management. This intuitive solution combines advanced technology with user-friendly features to deliver exceptional results.
What is Verkada LPR?
Verkada LPR is a cutting-edge software module that leverages artificial intelligence and computer vision to automatically detect, identify, and record license plates in near real time. Fully integrated within the Verkada Command platform, this feature allows organizations to effortlessly monitor vehicle activity across multiple locations.
Unlike traditional systems that require separate licenses or additional hardware, Verkada LPR operates with compatible Verkada Bullet cameras, making it both cost-effective and easy to deploy.
Key Features at a Glance
- Real-time license plate capture, even at speeds of up to 80 mph (128 kph).
- Edge-based processing to minimize bandwidth usage while maximizing performance.
- AES 128-bit encryption for data in transit and AES 256-bit encryption for data at rest, ensuring robust security.
- Seamless integration with live and recorded video for contextual analysis.
- Automated alerts for license plates of interest, enabling proactive responses.
- API and webhook support for integration with third-party systems.
- Dual-camera setups for enhanced context, combining overview shots with plate-focused footage.
Powerful, Integrated Vehicle Monitoring
Verkada LPR empowers organizations to take control of vehicle monitoring with features that simplify and enhance security operations:
- Identify vehicles of interest: Quickly search for historical appearances of specific license plates to support investigations.
- Set up proactive alerts: Receive instant notifications when a designated license plate is detected, improving perimeter security.
- Export and integrate data: Effortlessly export license plate data for use in external systems, generate business intelligence reports, or automate workflows through APIs.
Compatible Hardware
Verkada LPR is designed to work with select Verkada Bullet cameras, offering flexibility for various environments:
- Telephoto models: CB52-TE (5MP) and CB62-TE (4K) are optimized for capturing license plates from long distances, with a recommended range of up to 115 feet and a maximum range of 164 feet.
- Wide-angle models: CB52-E (5MP) and CB62-E (4K) are ideal for shorter-range captures, with a recommended range of up to 46 feet and a maximum range of 66 feet.
For high-speed environments such as highways, telephoto models are particularly effective due to their advanced optics and extended detection ranges.
Versatile Use Cases
Verkada LPR is adaptable to a wide range of applications across industries, making it a versatile solution for vehicle monitoring:
- Gatehouse and entry security: Automate vehicle entry points to ensure only authorized vehicles gain access.
- Parking lot management: Track vehicles entering and exiting secured lots while monitoring occupancy.
- Campus and corporate facilities: Enhance security across large campuses with comprehensive vehicle oversight.
- Retail and hospitality: Support drive-through analytics, guest tracking, and improved customer experiences.
- Tolling and transit systems: Integrate with ticketing and toll management systems for seamless vehicle tracking.
Superior Performance with Edge Processing
Verkada LPR processes data directly on the camera itself using edge computing technology. This approach reduces strain on network bandwidth, typically requiring less than 200 kbps at rest, and ensures reliable performance even during peak network usage.
Additionally, cameras operating in LPR mode continue to function as standard surveillance cameras. They record 24/7, enabling full video review, motion search, and archiving. This dual functionality provides complete situational awareness beyond just license plate capture.
Command Platform Integration
The LPR module integrates seamlessly with the Verkada Command platform, offering a centralized and intuitive interface for managing vehicle monitoring:
- Monitor all LPR-enabled cameras live from a single dashboard.
- Perform quick searches across license plate numbers, including partial matches.
- Review archived footage with synchronized plate detection overlays.
- Customize retention policies for both video footage and license plate data.
Context Cameras for Enhanced Insight
To provide a more comprehensive view of vehicle activity, Verkada LPR supports optional context cameras. These cameras capture broader scenes around vehicles, delivering color footage and additional angles without compromising the accuracy of license plate captures.
Flexible and Scalable
Verkada LPR is designed to scale effortlessly, whether you need to monitor a single facility entrance or implement a city-wide system. Its flexibility ensures that it can adapt to evolving security needs, making it a future-proof solution for organizations of all sizes.
