Part of the MET-Grid suite of tools.

Every vehicle.
Every zone.
In real time.

ANPR-Live turns any number-plate camera/s into a live vehicle-intelligence network — reading plates the instant they pass, tracking movement across all your zones, enforcing watchlists and firing actions automatically.

Capabilities

One platform, from the sensor to the decision

Everything between a camera reading a plate and a barrier lifting — captured, enriched, matched and acted on automatically.

Real-time plate recognition

Every sighting captured the instant it happens — with confidence score, direction, speed and the camera images that prove it.

Universal camera support

Axis, NVA, Hikvision, Vaxtor, VREO, MAV, NDI-RS, Huawei, Milesight and many other cameras supported. No commitment to specific manufactures.

Watchlists that act

Lists with rules and actions. A match can raise an alert, open a barrier, send a notification or drive any downstream device — not just log it.

Zone intelligence

A hierarchy of physical zones with live on-site occupancy counting and accurate entry / exit transitions on every directional camera.

Average-speed enforcement

Measure section speed between two cameras using real distance and elapsed time — then alert or enforce above your thresholds.

Live search & monitoring

List, Gallery and Map views with a true live mode. Search by plate, zone, camera, category, speed or date — and watch it update in real time.

Reporting suite

Traffic, speed, category and hourly reports — exported straight to PDF, Excel or CSV for operations, billing and compliance.

Automatic enrichment

On insert, sightings are enriched with vehicle make, model and colour — so a plate becomes a vehicle you can recognise at a glance.

Retention by design

Automated, policy-driven data retention and image lifecycle — old data downscaled and purged on schedule, evidence protected.

The pipeline

From a plate to a decision in under a second

A single, well-worn path runs every sighting — the same code whether it lifts a barrier or fills a report.

  1. 1

    Camera reads a plate

    An ANPR camera posts JSON to the receiver. The format can be detected automatically — MAV, VREO, Vaxtor, NVA etc.

  2. 2

    Decoded & enriched

    The sighting is decoded, the plate normalised, and a vehicle lookup adds make, model and colour.

  3. 3

    Matched & located

    It's tied to a vehicle record; the camera's zones drive an entry / exit transition and update live occupancy.

  4. 4

    Actions fire

    If the vehicle is on a watchlist, its actions run — barrier, alert, notification or device command.

  5. 5

    Searchable & reportable

    Everything lands in the web app — live search, gallery, map, and reports you can export.

Watchlists & actions

Lists that do something

Group vehicles into categories — staff, visitors, VIPs, blocklists, contractors — and attach the behaviour you want. A matching sighting doesn't just appear in a log; it triggers the category's actions in the same breath.

  • Time-boxed membership — tags carry a validity window and expire on their own.
  • Automatic membership from rules, or add a vehicle by hand in two clicks.
  • Actions: alerts, barrier commands, notifications and downstream device control.
  • Clean, hierarchy-aware sharing — publish a list downward, parents always see up.

Zones, occupancy & speed

Built around where things are

Zones are the backbone. They nest into a hierarchy — site, area, parking, unit — and visibility, occupancy and billing all flow through them. On-site zones track who's in; directional cameras measure how fast they crossed.

  • Live occupancy on every enclosed zone, kept honest by entry / exit cameras.
  • Average speed between cameras from real distance and elapsed time — not a guess.
  • Mobile cameras locate by GPS; observers watch a single zone passively.
  • Visibility expands strictly downward — you control who sees what.

Where it's used

One system, many sites

From a single barrier to a multi-tenant estate, ANPR-Live scales down to one camera and up to a whole portfolio.

Car parks & occupancy

Live capacity, overstay detection, frictionless entry and exit — and the reports to bill or audit it.

Business & retail parks

Many tenants, one estate. Each sees only their zones; the landlord sees the whole.

Gated & residential

Resident permits open the gate automatically; visitors are logged and hosts notified.

Logistics & depots

Track HGV movements, dwell time and gate flow; flag unknown vehicles on arrival.

Bill it the way the site is owned

Because billing follows zone ownership, the same platform handles every commercial model — set who owns a zone and the charging follows.

Tenant

Each tenant's zone carries its own owner and plan; common areas billed separately.

Landlord-pays

One owner on the top zone covers every camera beneath it on a single plan.

Mixed

Landlord covers common areas; large tenants subscribe independently for theirs.

Franchise

Brand owns the top zone; each franchisee subscribes per site below it.

Control & governance

Who sees what is never an accident

Zone-scoped visibility

Cameras and sightings are visible strictly from permitted zone structures.

Groups & access levels

Users live in a group hierarchy with seven access levels. You manage your user subtree and grant or revoke access as required.

Retention & purge

Per-plan retention windows, automatic storage space optimisation to maximise your capacity limits

Safe by construction

All aspects of the system are designed to ensure security and reliability.

If it moves, the grid sees it

ANPR-Live is the vehicle-recognition product inside MET-Grid — a unified observational-intelligence platform. The same zones, groups and actions extend far beyond just vehicles.
