SmartLPR delivers the same AI-powered recognition technology in two installation formats, allowing the physical configuration to be adapted to different project and installation requirements.
A compact housing designed for pole-mounted and space-efficient installations.
A floor-mounted cabinet configuration for projects requiring a standalone roadside installation.
SmartLPR combines license plate recognition with AI-powered vehicle identification to create a more complete vehicle profile directly at the edge.
Recognize license plates from multiple countries simultaneously without preselecting individual country formats, supporting worldwide deployment with a single SmartLPR solution.
Identify vehicle make, model, colour and classification to provide additional layers of vehicle information beyond the license plate.
Two cameras work together to read a vehicle’s front and rear license plates, improving reliability when one plate is damaged or obscured. HRR automatically selects the most reliable result, with only one camera sending a single event per vehicle to your backend system.
Maintain reliable license plate and vehicle recognition across changing lighting and environmental conditions for consistent day and night operation.
Maintain reliable license plate recognition at challenging vehicle and plate angles, providing greater flexibility for camera positioning and installation.
Quercus-developed artificial intelligence performs recognition and vehicle analysis directly inside the unit without requiring external recognition servers.
Achieve over 99% license plate recognition accuracy in most countries with a single SmartLPR camera, providing reliable vehicle identification for parking and access control applications.
SmartLPR includes built-in recognition software with a one-time camera purchase. No recurring license fees or subscriptions, making it easier to plan project budgets and keep long-term costs predictable.

Learn more →What makes SmartLPR different from a traditional ANPR/LPR camera?
SmartLPR combines license plate recognition, AI-powered vehicle identification and embedded processing in one device. In addition to the license plate, it can provide vehicle make, model, colour and classification information.
Does SmartLPR require an external recognition server?
No. Recognition and processing take place directly inside the SmartLPR unit.
Can SmartLPR integrate with existing parking and access control systems?
Yes. SmartLPR integrates with the BirdWatch platform, Parking Access & Revenue Control Systems (PARCS), barrier and gate systems, permit and subscription systems and third-party parking platforms.
Can SmartLPR recognize license plates from different countries simultaneously?
Yes. SmartLPR is designed for worldwide use and can recognize license plates from multiple countries without preselecting individual country formats.
What is High Reliability Recognition (HRR)?
HRR uses two recognition units per lane and combines information from both license plates to improve recognition reliability.
What is the maximum supported lane width?
SmartLPR supports lane widths of up to 5.5 metres.
Can SmartLPR operate outdoors?
Yes. SmartLPR is designed for continuous operation from -40°C to +50°C. The Housing version is IP67 rated.
How can SmartLPR be powered?
SmartLPR is available with AC and PoE+ / DC power options.
What is the difference between SmartLPR Housing and Cabinet?
Both provide the same SmartLPR recognition technology. Housing provides a compact pole-mounted configuration, while Cabinet provides a floor-mounted configuration.
Whether you’re planning a new parking installation or upgrading an existing system, SmartLPR brings AI-powered vehicle recognition and embedded intelligence to your parking operation.
