Expert ANPR System Installers
Intelligent ANPR camera systems for vehicle access and monitoring
Automatic Number Plate Recognition, or ANPR, uses specialist cameras and software to capture vehicle registration plates automatically. It can be used to identify authorised vehicles, flag unknown or blacklisted vehicles, support investigations and provide a clear record of vehicle activity across a site.
ClearView supplies and installs ANPR systems using trusted camera technology from manufacturers such as Hikvision, Axis and Avigilon. Systems can include infrared illumination, fast shutter speeds and remote zoom control to help capture number plate images in a range of lighting and site conditions.
When combined with the right software and integrations, ANPR can become a valuable part of a wider access control, CCTV or site management system.

Why choose ClearView for ANPR system installation?
ANPR systems need more than a camera at an entrance. Camera positioning, lighting, network connectivity, database setup, barrier integration and data management all affect how well the system performs.
ClearView designs ANPR systems around the practical demands of each site. Our team can assess entrance layouts, vehicle speeds, lane widths, lighting conditions, existing infrastructure and integration requirements before recommending the right approach.
We can support the full process, from initial site survey and system design through to installation, software setup, integration, training and ongoing maintenance.

Enhanced Security with GateREG ANPR Solutions
GateREG is ClearView’s networked ANPR platform, designed to help organisations monitor, record and manage vehicle movements across one or more locations.
The software can log each passing vehicle in a central database and support multiple ANPR and overview cameras. It can help operators manage access based on recognised, unknown or blacklisted vehicles, while also recording useful vehicle information for reporting, security and operational review.
GateREG can be used for entrance control, visitor management, car park monitoring, traffic management and wider security applications. It can also be integrated with third-party databases and existing site systems where required.
Intelligent Vehicle Monitoring with GateREG Software
GateREG Software Benefits: GateREG software intelligently monitors vehicles, matches registration numbers with its proprietary database, and displays critical details such as vehicle make/model, driver’s name, and image. This system is trusted by the public sector and blue-chip companies for its efficiency and reliability.
Key Advantages:
- Efficient Access Control: Seamlessly manage visitor access across multiple sites.
- Accurate Identification: Obtain high-quality images for precise vehicle and driver identification.
- Comprehensive Logging: Keep detailed records of every vehicle entering your premises.
- Enhanced Safety: Alert staff and restrict access for blacklisted vehicles, maximising security.
gates and access control
Gate, barrier and access control integration
ANPR is often most effective when integrated with wider site security. ClearView can connect ANPR systems with gates and barriers, access control systems, intercoms, LED message signs and parking payment systems.
This allows organisations to automate vehicle access while keeping a clear record of each entry and exit. For example, staff vehicles can be granted automatic access, visitors can be checked against a pre-approved list, and unauthorised vehicles can be prevented from entering restricted areas.
advanced integration capabilities
Networking and multi-site ANPR systems
ClearView can network ANPR systems across one or more locations, allowing vehicle movement data to be managed from a central database. This is useful for organisations with multiple entrances, remote sites or estates that need consistent monitoring across several locations.
Depending on the site and operational requirements, GateREG can be supplied as a desktop, rack-mounted, server-based or virtual server system. Mobile, vehicle-mounted, rapid deployment and external 4G options are also available where a more flexible setup is required.
The system can also synchronise with GPS or network time to support accurate data logging and reporting.
entrance control
ANPR for Visitor Management
GateREG can help manage vehicle access by checking registration numbers against an approved database. When a recognised vehicle approaches, the system can trigger a barrier, open a gate, display a message, send a notification or record the visit automatically.
For unknown or blacklisted vehicles, the system can deny access, alert staff or trigger a predefined response. Permissions can also be set for specific days, times or vehicle groups, giving organisations greater control over how vehicles move on and off site.
This can be particularly useful for sites with regular visitors, contractors, staff parking, deliveries or controlled access areas.
intelligent digital signage
ANPR and LED message signs
Integrating ANPR cameras with LED signs offers a seamless solution for managing vehicle access at car parks, toll roads, and other controlled sites. This technology displays vehicle number plates in real-time on LCD displays or LED signs, providing personalised messages and instructions for drivers.
Personalised Welcome and Instructions
For example, when a vehicle enters a hotel’s car park, the ANPR camera reads the number plate and displays a personalised welcome message on the LED sign, such as:“Welcome to ABC Hotel, Mr. Smith.”In a university car park, the system can direct students to specific parking areas, enhancing convenience and efficiency.
Key Benefits:
- Personalised Experience: Enhance the visitor experience with customised messages and instructions, creating a welcoming and efficient environment.
- Improved Security: Ensure only authorised vehicles enter the premises, reducing the risk of fraud, criminal activity and unauthorised access.
- Accurate Records: Maintain a precise log of vehicles entering and exiting the site, aiding in management and security.
Practical Applications:
- Hotels: Provide a personalised welcome to guests, enhancing their stay from the moment they arrive.
- Universities: Direct students to designated parking areas efficiently, reducing congestion and improving traffic flow.
- Corporate Offices: Greet employees and visitors while ensuring only authorised vehicles access the premises.
- Public Parking Facilities: Prevent misuse and manage parking spaces effectively by keeping accurate entry and exit records.
Integrating ANPR technology with LED signs improves the customer experience while enhancing security and efficiency in managing vehicle access. This innovative solution ensures smooth operations and a high level of service at various facilities.

Frequently asked questions
ANPR technology uses specialist cameras to capture vehicle number plates automatically. The system uses optical character recognition to read the registration number, then checks or stores that information within a database depending on the application.
ANPR accuracy depends on camera quality, lighting, angle, distance, vehicle speed, plate condition and system configuration. A well-designed system will take these factors into account from the outset to support reliable recognition.
ANPR data is stored in a secure database and can be used for purposes such as access control, vehicle logging, traffic management, parking management and site security. The way data is stored and used must comply with relevant data protection requirements.
ANPR cameras can perform in a range of weather and lighting conditions, including low light. However, factors such as heavy fog, snow, glare, camera positioning, vehicle speed and plate condition can affect performance. A proper site survey helps identify the best camera positions and setup.
ANPR can raise privacy considerations, so systems should be designed and used responsibly. When implemented appropriately, with clear purpose, access controls, retention settings and suitable notices, ANPR can support safety, security and operational management while respecting data protection obligations.
Yes. ANPR systems can be networked across multiple entrances, buildings or locations. Vehicle data can be managed from a central database, allowing organisations to monitor activity across several sites and apply consistent access rules where required.
