Smart Boom Barriers with ANPR: Secure & Fast Vehicle Access
Discover how Parksmart’s ANPR-enabled boom barriers improve security, cut waiting times, and automate vehicle entry for smarter access control.
Introduction
With growing traffic, rising vehicle numbers, and the need for stronger security, traditional access control methods are no longer enough. Today, smart boom barriers with ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) are changing how vehicles move in and out of gated communities, office complexes, and public facilities.
By using cameras and intelligent software to read number plates instantly, ANPR reduces waiting time, avoids manual checks, and ensures only authorised vehicles are allowed entry. Parksmart boom barriers combine this technology with robust hardware to provide a smooth, reliable, and secure access system.
What Is ANPR and How Does It Work?
ANPR is a system that uses cameras to automatically identify vehicle number plates. It combines image capture with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert plate details into digital text.
Step-by-Step Process:
Image Capture – A camera records the number plate as the vehicle arrives at the entry point. Parksmart boom barriers are compatible with standard IP cameras for efficient setup.
Plate Detection & OCR – Software processes the image and converts the plate into text, even in low light or from different angles.
Verification – The number is checked against a database such as resident lists, visitor permissions, or blacklists.
Barrier Control – Authorised vehicles trigger the barrier to lift automatically. Unauthorised vehicles are denied access, enhancing security.
Logging & Reporting – Every entry and exit is recorded with details like vehicle number, time, and image. Data can be stored locally or on the cloud for audits and analysis.
This process takes only a few seconds, ensuring smooth traffic flow without delays.
