Other business uses for ANPR Camera Systems
Although ANPR is widely used to manage the smooth operation of car parks, there are a huge range of other uses for this technology.
These include:
- Providing secure access to your premises
- Spotting known vehicles that pose a threat to your premises
- Collating visitor data and track deliveries in and out of your site
- Notifying The Police of a vehicle registration if it breaches your security
- Improving customer experience
Providing secure access to your business premises and site
For security conscious businesses, an ANPR system is an improvement on traditional methods. Normally the driver has to approach the gate, talk to a guard at the gate or via intercom, say who they’re coming to see and then await access. This can be poor from a customer experience point of view. Additionally the ongoing cost of staffing your gates can be expensive over time.
Spotting known vehicles that pose a threat to your premises
Quite often businesses that operate around large industrial parks can be the target of thieves and other criminals. Where known criminals are targeting these areas you can set your ANPR system to notify you should an unrecognised plate (not on the system) approaches your premises at designated times of the day and week.
Collating visitor data and track deliveries in and out of your site
Businesses like to record data for a number of reasons. You may be keen to understand visitor flow, the volume of weekly deliveries or the general flow of vehicles around your premises. Where issues of Health & Safety arise, you can track and monitor vehicles average speeds helping to reduce the risk of accidents and insurance claims.
Notifying The Police of a vehicle registration if it breaches your security
Where there are vehicles you’ve highlighted as a potential threat, you can design the ANPR Camera system to notify you should they breach your perimeter security. You can then proceed to notify the relevant authorities and appropriate action can be taken. Where high security sites are in question, you can lock down access to your building allowing for greater security and peace of mind.
Improving customer experience (CX)
Imagine your customers driving up to your gate, access point or car park, hanging out of the window in the rain to push the intercom button and speak to an operative. Imagine then waiting for a response with the window ajar letting all that hot air out.
An ANPR system negates this entirely.
During the design process of your ANPR system it can be set up in a number iif ways to improve CX. If you customer has made an advanced booking or has an agreed appointment time you can:
- Design the system to provide a personalised welcome
- Direct them to the right area or car park
