Smart policing with
Automatic license plate recognition
Accelerate investigations with real-time license plate data and vehicle analytics, purpose-built for your crime center.
Speed up investigations with advanced ALPR
Capture license plates across multiple lanes at high speeds
Automatically capture license plate characters at speeds of up to 80 mph (128 kph) and cover up to three lanes with a single camera — all with high precision and low latency. Choose from telephoto bullet cameras (up to 164 ft / 50 m), wide-angle bullet cameras (up to 66 ft / 20 m), or remote cameras with built-in LTE and solar power for fast deployment.
Seamlessly integrate with Axon Fusus and Evidence.com
License plate detections appear directly in the Fusus platform, giving RTCC teams real-time visibility without switching systems. Verkada footage can be saved seamlessly to Evidence.com, making case management faster and more efficient.
Get full contextual awareness, not just photos
License plate photos alone don’t always tell the full story. Pair ALPR cameras with any Verkada camera for additional video context, not just still images. See the vehicle’s details, direction, and movements in real time, helping law enforcement track down the right suspect vehicles faster and with more precision.
Search by full or partial license plate numbers
A few digits are all you need to get a lead. Search using full or partial license plate numbers — even with incomplete or slightly incorrect inputs. Our intelligent search system instantly surfaces relevant matches and their sighting locations on a map, so officers can act on leads without delay.
Turn license plate detections into actionable leads
Set automatic alerts for license plates of interest — partial or full — to help identify suspicious or wanted vehicles the moment they're detected by Verkada cameras. Officers can receive instant notifications on their smartphones, tablets, or laptops for faster decision-making in the field. Bulk upload plates or leverage our NCIC integration in select states to automatically alert on watchlist vehicles.
Rugged ALPR cameras for real-world policing
Rapidly deploy ALPR anywhere
Deploy ALPR cameras and context cameras quickly using Verkada cellular gateways or mobile security trailers — no trenching cables required. Ideal for setting up fixed or temporary monitoring to support investigations of stolen vehicles, wanted suspects, or other serious crimes.
Mission-tested, built to withstand the elements
Verkada cameras are FY2019 NDAA-compliant and built for tough outdoor environments — fully weather-sealed and rated IK10/IP67 for dust, water, and impact resistance. With video processing and storage handled directly on the camera, bandwidth usage is minimal and there’s no need for external servers, NVRs, or DVRs. Video and license plate data are encrypted both in transit and at rest, giving law enforcement the performance and data protection they need.
