Why do UniFi AI Key results arrive minutes after the vehicle has passed?

Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced

Short answer

The AI Key processes queued detection events.

Explanation

Its FAQ describes queue and processing limits, rather than guaranteed instantaneous results.

Things to check

  • Event load
  • Queue
  • Number of cameras
  • Smart-detection activity

What to do

Reduce unnecessary events or distribute the workload across supported capacity, then measure delay under normal traffic.

Skip the dedicated ANPR camera. Read plates from the cameras you already have.

ANPR Edge is plate-recognition software that runs on a PC at your site and works with ordinary IP cameras, so plate reads no longer depend on one vendor's camera, NVR or firmware.

  • Works with standard IP cameras over RTSP
  • One license per location covers every camera
  • Runs on a Windows PC or Mac you own
