ANPR, or automatic number plate recognition, is camera technology that reads vehicle number plates automatically as cars enter and leave a site. Workplace parking systems use it to match arriving vehicles against booked bays, staff permit lists and pre-registered visitors without barriers, paper permits or a security guard checking plates.
In an office car park, ANPR closes the gap between what was booked and what actually happened: a bay reserved in the parking system is confirmed the moment the registered car drives in, and unknown vehicles are flagged. It also removes the daily friction of permits and windscreen passes. ANPR works best paired with parking management software that holds the booking rules, waitlists and permit records the cameras check against.
