Why can’t I pair more third-party ANPR cameras with one UniFi AI Port?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
Capacity depends on camera type and resolution.
Explanation
The current FAQ lists one 4K, two 2K or three HD ONVIF cameras, and prohibits mixing third-party and Protect cameras.
Things to check
- Resolution
- Camera type
- Existing pairings
What to do
Compare the installation with the current capacity table and allocate additional supported capacity where necessary.
ANPR Edge
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
