The AI-enabled LPR camera built for parking

Traditional license plate recognition (LPR) falls short in today’s complex parking environments. Parking operators face revenue leakage from mismatched plates and poor driver experiences from systems that weren’t designed for the unique challenges of parking facilities.

Vision changes that. Purpose-built for parking by parking industry experts, our state-of-the-art AI camera technology delivers unrivaled accuracy and reliability.

Unrivaled parking performance

Flash has set a new standard for reliability with parking-specific engineering, delivering higher capture + accuracy rates to secure revenue by reducing mismatching and leakage.

Unprecedented resolution

48-megapixel optical sensors gather more data for every vehicle scanned, leading to higher fidelity. From smaller stacked characters on a plate to finer fonts on a temporary plate, superior resolution delivers superior accuracy.

Cameras networked to a processing unit burden local networks, affecting latency and reliability. Vision is an embedded platform, with video streams and AI-enabled vehicle processing all handled within the device itself. Less complex, more reliable.

Most cameras have infrared illuminators or white light illuminators. With wide variability in lighting conditions in parking, either/or simply isn’t good enough. Vision has both, and they operate with 2 different sensors simultaneously. 

Our sensors have best-in-class resolution, and Vision has two of them. They independently generate reads for every vehicle encountered, and the AI engine generates the best detection between the sensors.

Vision detects vehicles, reads license plates, and then analyzes the vehicle to determine other characteristics such as vehicle jurisdiction, make, color, and even type. In cases where a license pate is not available, vehicles may be searched based on other characteristics.

Vision’s AI vehicle recognition engine was trained on hundreds of thousands of North American vehicles and plates to ensure accuracy with flat or embossed plates, stacked characters, vanity plates, digital plates, and even temporary paper plates.
