MIRASYS AI · SMART LPR

License plate recognition that runs inside your VMS. Not beside it.

Smart LPR is the license plate recognition built into Mirasys VMS. It reads every plate in real time from the cameras you already own. Known vehicles get through, flagged ones raise an alarm, and any vehicle is searchable across sites in seconds.

THE PROBLEM

Your cameras already see every plate. Your team still reads them by hand.

A guard checks the plate at the gate. An operator scrubs hours of video to find one car. The camera saw the plate the whole time, it just never told anyone.

License plate recognition (LPR, or ANPR, automatic number plate recognition) reads the plate from video and turns it into text. Mirasys does it inside the VMS, so the read, the live view, the recording and the alarm sit in one place. Your team sees the vehicle, the plate and what happened next without switching tools.

What LPR does for you:

Access control

Open the gate for vehicles on your allow list.

Alerts

Alarm the moment a block-listed plate shows up on any camera.

Traffic enforcement

Know which vehicles passed, where and when.

Investigations

Find a vehicle across sites and days in seconds, not hours.

HOW IT WORKS

From camera to action, inside the VMS.

Start with the cameras you already own. Add purpose-built plate-reading cameras for fast traffic or dark entrances. Every read lands in Spotter, the Mirasys VMS operator client, next to your live video.

Capture

A standard IP camera watches the lane. It connects to Mirasys through ONVIF or a native driver.

Read

Smart LPR finds the plate in the frame and reads it in real time. Plates in multiple languages and formats.

Match

The plate is checked against your allow and block lists, managed inside the VMS.

Act

Open the barrier, raise an alarm, pop the camera to the operator. Every read is stored with time, camera and video.

SMART LPR

Read, match, act and search. All in the same VMS.

Part of Mirasys AI, our own deep-learning suite. Tuned for the real, busy environments our customers run.

Real-time reads

Plates are read as vehicles pass, so a match can act before the car stops at the barrier.

Allow and block lists

Known vehicles get through. Flagged vehicles raise an alarm. Managed in the VMS, not in a separate tool.

Import and export

Bring in the vehicle registers you already keep. Export them for other systems. One source of truth.

Alarm automation

Decide what a match does: open a gate, trigger an alarm, push the camera to the operator's screen.

Search across sites

Type a plate, get every sighting across cameras, sites and days. Jump straight to the footage.

Live, Search and List views

Dedicated views in Spotter, right next to the video views your operators already use.

Multi-language plates

Reads plates in multiple languages and formats, for sites with traffic from more than one country.

Your cameras

No dedicated LPR camera required. Standard IP cameras over ONVIF or native drivers.

One platform with FR and OR

Smart LPR sits alongside Smart FR, Smart OR and Person Search in the same VMS.

OPEN BY DESIGN

Use the LPR you have and add the best on the market.

Mirasys is open at the analytics layer too, so you're never locked into one plate-reading engine.

Cameras that read plates themselves

Plate-reading cameras from Axis, Bosch, Hanwha and more send their reads straight to Mirasys via ONVIF Profile M and native drivers.

Mirasys Smart LPR

Our own deep-learning engine. Works with the cameras you already have and keeps plates, lists and alarms inside the VMS.

Third-party engines

Plug in best-of-breed analytics such as VCA. An existing LPR investment keeps running alongside Mirasys AI.

Cities & Traffic

Which vehicles passed, where and when. Alarms on flagged plates across the whole network.

Logistics & Manufacturing

GETTING GOOD READS

LPR is only as good as the picture of the plate.

No special camera needed. The view still matters. In a demo we look at your existing camera positions and tell you which lanes work as they are.

Angle

Face the lane as straight on as you can. Steep angles cost reads.

Pixels on the plate

Lane width and distance decide the lens.

Light

Consistent day and night. Headlight glare and backlight are the usual culprits.

Speed

Slow, predictable traffic at the read point gives the most reliable result.

SECURITY & COMPLIANCE

Built for the regulations you answer to.

Surveillance data is among the most sensitive you hold. Mirasys is engineered so security and compliance are built into the platform and not bolted on afterwards.

Data sovereignty

Your footage stays under European jurisdiction.

Encryption end to end

Stream and communication encryption protects your video.

Privacy by design

Built-in privacy filtering and full audit trails keep you GDPR-compliant.

2FA & LDAP

Enterprise access control with two-factor authentication and LDAP synchronization.
