Accurate, fast, developer-friendly ANPR

Automatic number plate recognition tuned for real roads — blur, night, steep angles, stacked characters, and multi-vehicle frames — with region-optimized models and deployment anywhere from cloud to Raspberry Pi.

Recognition modes

Still images or live streams — one engine

Snapshot mode decodes plates from any image you submit, returning the plate text plus vehicle make, model, color, and classification. Stream mode watches live cameras continuously, detecting and decoding plates in real time — up to four cameras on a mid-range CPU.

  • Webhooks for every decoded plate
  • Dashboard with search, sort, and filters
  • Vehicle attributes alongside the plate read
  • Fuzzy matching for watchlists and partial reads

Real-world accuracy

Built for the conditions that break other engines

Ideal photos are easy. Production traffic is not — so the engine is trained and tuned for the hard cases first.

Blurry or low-resolution frames

Night and sun-glare conditions

Steep angles and fast vehicles

Two-row plates and icon plates

Multiple vehicles per frame

Stacked and decorative fonts

Partial and occluded plates

Region-specific formats (90+ countries)

Deployment

Cloud, on-premise, or at the edge

Run the managed cloud API, or deploy the SDK fully offline — Windows, Linux, Jetson, and Raspberry Pi included. On-premise keeps every plate read inside your network, with no internet dependency.

  • SDK inference around 50 ms; cloud API around 200 ms
  • Sample code in 8 programming languages
  • Air-gapped operation for secure facilities
  • Continuous engine updates with region tuning

Under the hood

Two networks, five candidate reads

One neural network localizes every plate in the frame; a second decodes each character. The engine can return up to five decoded candidates per image — raising first-pass accuracy on difficult frames.

The models keep learning: we fine-tune for your camera angles, lighting, and regional plate formats, so accuracy improves for your deployment instead of staying generic.

Privacy mode: a companion blur engine anonymizes plates in stored or shared imagery — adjustable blur strength, under 50 ms per image, fully offline.
