Smart policing with
Automatic number plate recognition
Accelerate investigations with real-time number plate data and vehicle analytics, while keeping every search purposeful, accountable, and auditable.
Speed up investigations with advanced ANPR
Capture number plates across multiple lanes at high speeds
Automatically capture number 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 328ft / 100m), wide-angle bullet cameras (up to 164ft / 50m), or remote cameras with built-in LTE and solar power for fast deployment.
Deploy ANPR with privacy in mind
Verkada does not pool customer video and number plate data into a shared, searchable network. Customers own and control their data, which remains isolated in dedicated, tenant-isolated cloud environments, with ANPR searches limited to footage within their own organization. Plus, video and number plate data is protected with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and immutable audit logs that capture who accessed data and why. Sensitive capabilities such as facial recognition are off by default, while granular permissions give agencies control over how data is accessed, used, and shared. Learn more here.
Search full or partial plates with controlled access
A few digits are all you need to get a lead. Search using full or partial number plate numbers — even with incomplete or slightly incorrect inputs. Instantly surface relevant matches and their sighting locations on a map, so officers can act on leads without delay. Agencies can require users to provide an offense type and case number before searching plate data, creating an audit trail of who accessed the plate data, when, and why.
Get full contextual awareness, not just photos
Number plate photos alone don’t always tell the full story. Pair ANPR 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.
Turn number plate detections into actionable leads
Set automatic alerts for number 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 to automatically alert on watchlist vehicles.
Deploy anywhere with built-in Axon integration
Seamlessly integrate with Axon Fusus and Evidence.com
Number 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. Selective face blur helps protect the privacy of uninvolved individuals while preserving key evidence.
Rapidly deploy ANPR anywhere
Deploy ANPR 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 fully weather-sealed, rated IK10 and IP66/67 for dust, water, and impact resistance. With video processing and storage handled directly on the camera, bandwidth usage is minimal and there is no need for NVRs or DVRs.
