LPR camera

What are LPR cameras?

LPR (License Plate Recognition) cameras , also known as ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras, are equipment specially designed to capture, read and record vehicle license plates, both during the day and at night. These cameras are mainly used in access control systems , traffic monitoring , parking lots and industrial areas.

On 1CCTV.ro, you have access to a wide range of professional LPR cameras , configurable for commercial, industrial or residential applications.

Available LPR camera types

On 1CCTV.ro, you will find a wide range of LPR (License Plate Recognition) cameras , each designed for specific applications. Depending on your security needs, infrastructure and desired performance level, you have several types of cameras available for license plate recognition:

1. LPR cameras for access control

These cameras are ideal for locations where automatic management of entrances and exits is required , such as parking lots, residential complexes or industrial areas.
Main features:

• Fast real-time license plate recognition
• Compatibility with automatic barrier systems
• Automatic gate opening trigger
• Whitelist/blacklist capability

Where they are used: private parking lots, residential access gates, office buildings

2. LPR traffic cameras (for medium and high speed)

Designed for recognizing license plates on moving vehicles, these cameras are suitable for monitoring road traffic or intersections .
Main features:

• Support for capturing numbers at speeds up to 80 km/h
• Motorized lenses for precise focusing
• Advanced algorithms for angle and distortion correction
• Multi-frame capture for increased accuracy

Where they are used: public roads, high-traffic parking lots, logistics centers

3. LPR cameras with integrated IR (for low light conditions)

These models are equipped with IR (infrared) illumination, which allows clear capture of license plates at night or in total darkness .
Main features:

• High power IR LEDs
• WDR filters for clear images in mixed light
• Stable recognition even at night

Where they are used: locations without public lighting, underground parking lots, industrial areas

4. LPR IP cameras with network integration

LPR IP cameras  are ideal for modern infrastructures, where integration with existing networks is a priority. They allow remote control , live streaming and storage on NVR or cloud .
Main features:

• Direct connection to the local network
• Easy configuration from the web interface
• Possibility of integration with VMS (Video Management System) platforms
• Automatic data storage and export

Where they are used: public institutions, shopping centers, automated parking lots

5. LPR cameras with multiple recognition (multi-vehicle)

These advanced models can simultaneously detect multiple plates in the same frame, making them excellent for multiple entry or exit lanes .
Main features:

• Simultaneous multiple detection
• High-precision AI algorithms
• Individual display and recording for each vehicle

Where they are used: toll gates, entrances to logistics areas, multilane parking lots

6. Dual LPR cameras (LPR + general surveillance)

These cameras combine the functionality of LPR with that of a classic surveillance camera, providing contextual image plus license plate detail .
Main features:

• Dual lenses or double lens
• Panoramic view and LPR details at the same time
• Saving on equipment and video channels

Where used: government institutions, airports, high security areas

7. LPR cameras with whitelist/blacklist

These smart cameras can trigger automatic actions (opening/closing access, alarm) based on recognized plates.
Main features:

• List management from the web interface or application
• Integration with access servers or mobile applications
• Automatic logs and recording history

Where they are used: courier companies, car fleets, corporate parking lots

Relevant technical features of LPR cameras

LPR (License Plate Recognition) cameras, also known as license plate recognition cameras , are designed to provide high performance and accuracy in identifying license plates in any conditions. The advanced technologies integrated in these cameras differentiate them from classic surveillance models. Here are the most important technical features explained:

-      Full HD or Ultra HD resolution

High resolution, such as 2MP (1080p), 4MP or even 5MP, is essential for clear license plate capture, especially at high speeds or at night. The more detailed the image, the more accurate the LPR recognition algorithm becomes.

Benefit: Clear capture of numbers regardless of distance or filming angle.

-      Infrared IR illumination and smart WDR filters

LPR cameras from 1CCTV.ro are equipped with powerful IR LEDs for visibility in total darkness and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) filters to compensate for strong backlight or shadows.

Benefit: Accurate number recognition at night or in extreme contrast conditions (e.g. headlights on).

-      Motorized varifocal lenses

Many LPR cameras feature motorized varifocal lenses (e.g. 2.7–13.5 mm), which allow adjustment of the angle and focus distance directly from the NVR or app.

Benefit: Flexibility in installation for optimal plate capture, regardless of camera position.

-      Integrated LPR algorithm

The camera processor has specialized OCR (Optical Character Recognition) algorithms for license plates, ensuring real-time detection with a high accuracy rate, even in motion.

Benefit: Fast and reliable detection, without the need for additional external software.

-      Compatibility with NVR and access control systems

The LPR cameras offered by 1CCTV.ro are fully compatible with NVR (Network Video Recorder) systems and can be easily integrated into access control systems with automatic barriers, electric gates or VMS (Video Management Systems) platforms.

Benefit: Complete access automation and centralized monitoring.

-      Whitelist/blacklist function

Many LPR IP cameras allow the configuration of lists of allowed or blocked numbers, which automatically trigger actions such as opening the gate or sounding an alert.

Benefit: Intelligent access automation based on configurable database.

-      IP66/67 protection and metal housing

LPR cameras are equipped with weatherproof, dustproof and shockproof housings. IP66 or IP67 protection makes them ideal for outdoor use, regardless of the weather.

Benefit: Reliable long-term operation in rain, snow or strong sun.

-      Advanced AI features (on some models)

Some cameras in the LPR range integrate AI (artificial intelligence) functions such as:

• Vehicle recognition (type: car, truck, motorcycle)
• Speeding alert
• Simultaneous capture of multiple vehicles

Benefit: Increases the level of security and efficiency of video analysis.

-      Dual stream and H.265+ compression

Modern LPR cameras use H.265+ video compression and can simultaneously transmit two video streams (dual stream) – one for quality recording, another for low-bandwidth live monitoring.

Benefit: Saving hard disk space and optimal network performance.

-      Remote access via app

LPR IP cameras can be monitored in real time directly from your phone, tablet or PC, using compatible mobile applications.

Benefit: Total control, wherever you are, and the possibility of quickly exporting recognized data.

Practical applications

• Private and commercial parking lots
• Logistics centers and industrial parks
• Automatic toll systems
• Residential areas with restricted access
• Intersections and areas with heavy traffic
