License plates can be used for so much more than identification and registration purposes. They bring to life the pattern of your customers and /or employees.
It’s becoming more and more of a basic minimum requirement for license plates to be captured for identification and registration processes. Companies scan license plates and run the extracted data through them to their back-end database. Writing or typing them into a device has become a thing of the past. License Plate Recognition Software (LPRS) works lightning fast with great accuracy.
As IP Surveillance (CCTV) business intelligence capabilities have improved, has your business taken advantage yet?
Rolling out License Plate Recognition Software
When it comes to deployment, the process of consulting, designing, building and implementing the right LPRS solution means that choosing a professional resource you can trust is critical. Australia has rigorous standards when it comes to capturing and storing data. There are standards around accuracy, privacy and security, that are critical for your business security. This needs to be thought out and well planned before deployment.
A few questions to ask before deployment
- How will we maintain the hardware and software moving forward?
- How often is the system tested and how do we test it?
- How do we deploy a secure system?
- How do we access the data and in what format?
- How do we find a reputable systems integrator with experience in this field?
