Automatic number plate recognition systems (ANPRs) monitor vehicle access, control entry points, and automate parking management. Surveillance cameras instantly read and process vehicle number plates, enabling automated access controls.
Clearway designs and installs ANPR camera systems that control vehicle access, monitor traffic movements and immediately identify approved or unauthorised vehicles entering your premises, so you know who is on your site at any time, and when any unknown vehicle attempts to gain entry.


Advanced technology has changed how we protect businesses, work sites, and premises. ANPR is used to verify the vehicles passing through entry checkpoints and grant access only to approved cars and trucks.
Our cameras detect movement at your designated checkpoints, recording the date, time, and number plate via a CCTV system and storing or verifying this data against a pre-vetted database.
In secure areas, you can integrate this process with control networks for barriers, gates and bollards, which will permit entry or exit only when a vehicle with the correct status within your database approaches.

Key Features of ANPR System Installation

Features designed to give you peace of mind.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition
High-definition cameras instantly capture and check vehicle registration plates against approved lists of staff or authorised visitors, reducing reliance on manual interventions.
Real-Time Data Verification
Vehicle registrations are double-checked against databases in seconds, granting access by lifting gates or bollards, or alerting security teams if no approvals are found.
Integrated Access Controls
ANPR systems can communicate with barriers, gates, bollards, alarms and other access control assets to ensure secure entry and exit permissions are fully automated.
Comprehensive Vehicle Records
Each vehicle movement is logged with the time, date, and registration details, creating an audit trail that may be required for security, compliance, or reporting purposes.
How It Works

Here’s what to expect from the process. From the moment you call us to the continued relationship after your site is secured.
From Call to Hire, getting your site secured is straightforward
1. Full Site Survey
Our in-house specialists assess your vehicle entrances, traffic flow, and security requirements to ensure we recommend the most efficient ANPR solutions for your needs.
2. ANPR System Design
We design ANPR systems tailored to your operations, with advice around camera positioning, database management, and integrations with barriers, gates, and existing devices or policies.
3. Professional Installation
Clearway’s experienced engineers install, configure, and test your ANPR cameras on-site, ensuring your system is working correctly and you are confident in using it.
4. ANPR Integration
ANPR systems can often be integrated with CCTV cameras, access control devices, monitoring platforms, or parking management systems depending on your requirements and risk assessments.
5. Ongoing Maintenance and Support
Regular servicing, software updates and preventive maintenance ensure that ANPR systems continue to work accurately and minimise downtime from the point of installation onward.


Clearway can recommend the appropriate ANPR camera installation for your site, whether you require measures to stop unverified vehicles accessing gates or an efficient car park management system for a public-access facility.
Relying on gates, signs or manual checks doesn’t always prevent unauthorised vehicles from entering restricted areas. ANPR systems verify each vehicle against an approved database and ensure that only those with authorisation are granted access.
Shift changes, conflicting delivery slots and contractor arrivals can create pressure on busy entrances, potentially causing bottlenecks. Rather than asking security staff to check every vehicle, ANPR automates access permissions and keeps traffic moving.
It’s often difficult to investigate the cause of incidents, monitor deliveries or track traffic patterns without accurate records. Automated cameras can record vehicle registrations and entry and exit times, generating audit trails if needed.
Guards may be physically unable to check the credentials of every visitor, or to confirm whether each individual number plate is approved. ANPR can replace manual processes and improve security by automating access decisions.
Sites such as logistics depots and manufacturing facilities often need to know who is coming and going. Controlling vehicle access with ANPR camera installations can avoid queues or delays, while ensuring every arrival is verified before they’re allowed to enter.
ANPR provides discreet, intelligent access controls that strengthen perimeter security while allowing approved vehicles to enter quickly, without stopping to confirm the driver’s identity each time.
Whether you’re protecting a high-security site, managing a busy distribution centre or improving parking and visitor access, ANPR provides a smart way to control vehicle movements while enhancing security, efficiency and compliance.

Our UK Sales Director, Kelvin Danton, explains why ANPR is so important.
ANPR has been transformative in managing vehicle security and determining which cars and visitors are allowed to enter a controlled area.
Rather than depending on time-consuming manual checks, cameras can automate access decisions, improving traffic flow and ensuring supervisors have full visibility of every vehicle entering and leaving their premises.
The best ANPR systems often form part of a broader security approach, ensuring that perimeters and entrances are covered by CCTV surveillance, barriers, and access controls, reinforcing the importance of a secure entry process.
