New CPD Webinar: Why Lighting Matters for ANPR Barrier Control

28 April 2026

 

A critical component of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) or License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems is the lighting infrastructure, which must be both reliable and efficient. Infra-red (IR) lighting has proven to be an optimal solution for capturing number plates, offering a consistent and powerful light source that performs exceptionally well even in difficult lighting conditions. By providing precise illumination, IR lighting enhances image clarity and sharpness, enabling ANPR systems to identify and read number plate characters accurately.

However, in the dynamic world of number plates, vehicle speeds, and diverse environmental conditions, lighting for ANPR barrier control presents its own set of challenges and considerations. In this webinar, we’re here to clarify these complexities, share practical solutions, and help you make informed decisions to improve system performance.
