Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the API. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us.
Definitely yes. We offer fully offline, on-premise deployment of our ANPR ML model — Docker containers, air-gapped environments, dedicated GPU hardware, and private installations are all supported. Leave your contact info and our team will get back to you to scope your offline setup.
We support JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats. Maximum file size is 10MB. For best results, ensure the plate is clearly visible and the image resolution is at least 640x480 pixels.
Yes, we offer a streaming endpoint for real-time video processing. This is ideal for applications like toll collection, parking systems, and traffic monitoring. Contact us for more details on video streaming integration.
Our API achieves 98%+ accuracy on clear images across all GCC countries. Our models are trained to handle real-world conditions common in the region, including bright sunlight, sand, dust, and partially obscured plates. Accuracy can vary based on image quality factors like lighting, angle, and resolution. We provide confidence scores with each response so you can set thresholds appropriate for your use case.
Our models are trained natively on Arabic numerals and text found on GCC license plates. This includes mixed Arabic-English plates common in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The response includes both the original text and transliterated versions.
Yes, for enterprise customers we offer on-premise deployment options. This includes Docker containers and dedicated hardware solutions for high-security environments. Contact our sales team for more information.
You'll be automatically charged $0.01 per successful recognition. We'll send you email notifications at 80% and 100% of your free tier usage. You can set spending limits in your dashboard to control costs.
