Choose how you want to connect

Use the Cloud API when you already have software. Use ANPR Edge when you need to connect live cameras and automate a gate.

No code required

With ANPR Edge

Install on Windows or Mac, connect live cameras and act on each plate without building camera software.

  1. Install and discover

    Install the agent on a Windows or Mac PC connected by LAN to your switch or camera. It finds the cameras on the network for you.

  2. Set the rules

    Draw the polygon that matters, choose the trigger - immediately, on movement, or when the car count changes - and name the endpoint results should go to.

  3. Your gate acts immediately

    Approved vehicles open the barrier, unknown vehicles alert security, and every decision is recorded or sent to your existing system.

For developers

With the Cloud API

Sign up, get a key, POST an image, get JSON back. Pay per plate processed.

  1. Get a key

    Sign up and generate an API key from the dashboard. The first 100 reads are free and no card is required.

  2. POST an image

    Send the frame to our endpoint from your own code, in any language. One HTTP request, no SDK to install.

  3. Use the result in your product

    Receive the plate, country and vehicle details as structured data for access control, parking, fleet or customer workflows.

View API Docs

The Cloud API accepts images from your software. ANPR Edge connects live cameras and reads plates on the PC with a one-time license, or in our cloud on Edge Free. Private Docker deployments are scoped separately.

Developer-Friendly API

One plan, one wallet, one price

Every plan includes credits each month at the same price — $0.005 per plate processed and $0.005 per vehicle analyzed. Pick the plan for the cameras, barriers and rate limit you need; the credits are the same on every rung. Credits never expire, and you can top up whenever you want.

Plans

Pick your capacity

Every rung buys credits at the same $0.005 — higher plans buy more cameras, barriers, requests per minute and log retention, never a cheaper unit. Change plans any time.

Enterprise

Want it on your premises?

Enterprise is ANPR Edge with unlimited cameras on a PC at your location — how many one PC handles depends on its hardware. $6,500 once per location: no monthly fee, no usage charges, and the license never expires. Docker on your own server is quoted separately.

Plates are read on hardware you own, and a fully air-gapped deployment is available on request. SLA and dedicated support. Larger than cameras or credits a month in the cloud? Same conversation.

  • Unlimited cameras · license 1$6,500

Total$6,500paid once

Included: all six GCC countries, vehicle make, model and colour, and 12 months of updates.

From year 2, updates are optional: $1,170 a year per unlimited license, $450 per 4-camera license.

Unlimited licenses: 1st $6,500 · 2nd to 5th $4,000 each · 6th and more $2,500 each. Licenses you already own count.

Unlimited means no license limit on cameras. How many cameras one PC runs depends on its hardware.
