ANPR Camera

ANPR Systems Installation

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.

Professional ANPR System Installation for Secure Vehicle Access

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 Benefits of ANPR Systems Installation

  • Automates vehicle access control permissions
  • Faster site access with reduced congestion
  • Improves perimeter and boundary security
  • Accurate vehicle tracking and audit trails
  • Integrations with gates, barriers and CCTV cameras
  • Reduces reliance on manual security checks
  • Supports parking and traffic management
  • Tailored to the requirements of each site

    How It Works

    ANPR camera Clearway

    How It Works?

    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.

    Problems We Can Solve With ANPR System Installation


    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.

    1. You Need to Prevent Unauthorised Vehicles From Entering Your Site


    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.

    2. You’re Finding That Traffic Congestion Is Causing Delays at Entrances


    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.

    3. You Need a Way to Implement Better Visibility of Vehicle Movements


    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.

    4. You’ve Experienced Problems With Reliance on Manual Vehicle Checks


    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.

    5. You’re Responsible for a High-Security or Restricted-Access Site


    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.

    6. You Need to Improve Security Without Creating Disruption at Entrances


    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.

    What Do Our Experts Say?

    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.

    A Successful Project: ANPR Access Control For The Nottingham Park Estate 

    The Nottingham Park Estate Limited (NPEL) was formed in 1985 essentially to maintain and improve the estate for its members and residents. It is a private residential housing estate to the west of Nottingham which is noted for its Victorian architecture and gas street lighting.

    Clearway (previously Sitewatch) was commissioned to identify a suitable upgrade solution. They chose an ANPR based Access Control solution from Nortech. This provides a secure and flexible means of managing access in and out of the estate for all residents, park staff and authorised visitors. A reliable vehicle identification system was needed to replace the ageing HyperX long-range RFID tagging system used to control vehicle access in and out of the estate.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How Do ANPR Systems Work?


    Intelligent camera technology recognises the presence of a vehicle and automatically scans its number plate, which is cross-referenced against an approved database of registration numbers.

    The system can be programmed to permit or deny entry, or to issue a signal when an unexpected vehicle requires inspection before entering your site.

    ANPR systems are also used as a traffic management asset, storing and retaining entry and exit information and confirming whether car-parking facilities are properly paid for, depending on the duration of the stay.

    Can ANPR Cameras Interpret Foreign Number Plates?


    Yes, if you have deliveries or visitors from overseas, an ANPR camera can
    scan the number plate in the same way and recognise the alphanumeric characters.

    Can I Integrate ANPR Cameras Across Multiple Car Parks?


    Yes, Clearway can network ANPR surveillance across multiple locations, allowing your security personnel or site managers to monitor vehicle movements throughout your organisation.

    You can create a central database to manage each premise and store data in a single log to monitor movements, make decisions about safe traffic controls, or define permitted entry rights.

    How Do ANPR Systems Improve Visitor Experiences?


    ANPR cameras have a range of potential features, depending on your requirements.
    The system database can be configured to allow entry immediately when an authorised vehicle approaches, or programmed for specific times or days.

    Visitors can enter without delay, and instant notifications can alert the relevant personnel to their arrival.

    Can ANPR Systems Be Integrated With Existing Security Systems?


    Yes, in many situations, ANPR cameras can be integrated with CCTV cameras, electronic gates, barriers, visitor management software, and access control systems to ensure your security solutions are all connected.

    Do ANPR Security Systems Need Ongoing Maintenance?


    Yes, like all security systems, ANPR cameras need to be serviced. Maintenance might include cleaning and aligning cameras, updating software, testing that systems continue to perform as expected, and checking that number plate recognition remains accurate.
