Customer: a technology company, Israel.

Our automatic license plate recognition software is designed to detect, scan and recognise vehicle license number plates in real-time by processing video footage from CCTV camera. Such a software potentially can be used for revenue control, automation and security applications. Instead of limiting the function of the cameras for these purposes, the images from the cameras can be captured and analysed for further decision making processes. Vehicle images and data are scanned and processed in the back-office subsystem over a wireless connection. User can access the data through a mobile application on their Android smartphone and tablet devices anytime they wish. Customers do not need any  training to install license plate recognition software and a camera that is provided by our client’s company.
