Visibility and vehicle identification

Security designed around the entrance.

Entrance CCTV helps operators view and review activity around gates, barriers, pedestrian routes and vehicle lanes. ANPR uses purpose-positioned cameras and software to read suitable number plates, create events or compare vehicles with authorised lists.

We consider camera position, field of view, lighting, speed, approach angle, plate size, network capacity, recording, access control and gate or barrier logic together. This avoids treating the camera as an isolated product when performance depends on the complete site.

CCTV and ANPR options

Entrance-security solutions.

Systems may use one method or combine several according to the site and required outcome.

Entrance CCTV

Overview cameras for gates, barriers, pedestrian entrances and surrounding approach areas.

Dedicated ANPR

Purpose-positioned cameras for number-plate capture at suitable vehicle lanes and entrances.

Authorised Vehicle Lists

Compatible systems can compare recognised plates with managed allow-lists and trigger entrance commands.

Network Video Recorders

Suitable local recording, playback, storage and camera-management equipment.

Remote Viewing

Authorised viewing from compatible computers or apps, subject to connectivity and account arrangements.

Night-Time Imaging

Camera, lens, illumination and positioning selected around the entrance and available light.

Event Notifications

Compatible alerts or events configured according to equipment features and site requirements.

Repairs & Upgrades

Fault diagnosis and suitable replacement of cameras, recorders, power, cabling or network components.

CCTV & Intercom Integration

Entrance viewing alongside visitor communication and controlled gate, barrier or pedestrian release.

Connected entrance systems

CCTV and ANPR integration.

Integration depends on equipment compatibility, cabling, network availability and the required operating logic.

Automated GatesEntrance viewing, event recording and compatible authorised-vehicle opening commands.

Vehicle BarriersANPR-assisted access and lane monitoring at car parks, depots and commercial sites.

Intercom SystemsVisual context alongside visitor calls and controlled entrance release.

Access ControlANPR used alongside suitable fob, keypad, GSM or managed credentials.

Vehicle LoopsPresence or passage detection supporting suitable camera and barrier logic.

Network InfrastructureSwitches, power, wireless links and cabling assessed for capacity and reliability.

Recording & PlaybackSuitable recorders, storage, timestamps, search and authorised review arrangements.

Existing SystemsAssessment of suitable interfaces with current cameras, recorders and entrance equipment.

From requirement to handover

Our CCTV and ANPR process.

ANPR and multi-camera commercial sites normally require a measured visit before specification.

Define the outcome

Identify viewing, evidence, plate capture, access and retention requirements.

Survey the entrance

Review lanes, speed, angles, lighting, mounting, cabling, networks and controls.

Specify the system

Select suitable cameras, lenses, recorder, storage, interfaces and infrastructure.

Install and configure

Fit agreed equipment, cable routes, network devices, recording and user settings.

Test and hand over

Check agreed views, playback and entrance logic, then explain normal operation.

Residential and commercial

CCTV and ANPR by site type.

Different sites need different approaches to coverage, vehicle identification, recording and administration.

Private Homes

Driveway and pedestrian-entrance viewing with suitable recording and remote access.

Residential Developments

Communal entrance, car-park and vehicle monitoring with managed-user permissions.

Commercial Offices

Visitor, staff and car-park coverage around gates, barriers and reception routes.

Industrial & Logistics

HGV, delivery, contractor and perimeter monitoring at high-use entrances.

Schools & Education

Controlled-entrance visibility with careful positioning around pedestrians and safeguarding needs.

Healthcare & Care

Entrance and vehicle-route monitoring around operational care and healthcare settings.

Car Parks

ANPR, lane overview and barrier integration for suitable authorised-vehicle workflows.

Estates & Compounds

Perimeter and entrance monitoring for residents, staff, vehicles and contractors.

Privacy, security and administration

Plan how footage and plates are managed.

A useful system needs appropriate user controls, retention settings and ongoing management.

Think beyond camera installation

The site operator should define why images and number plates are processed, who may view or export them, how long recordings are retained and how access requests or incidents are handled. Appropriate signage and data-protection arrangements may be required.

Administrator accounts, passwords, recorders, apps and networks should be protected. Remote or cloud features depend on manufacturer services, connectivity, subscriptions and customer account arrangements.

ANPR accuracy is affected by plate condition, speed, lane position, camera angle, lighting, weather and obstructions. No system should be marketed as reading every plate in every condition, and a safe gate or barrier sequence must not rely on camera recognition alone.

Frequently asked questions

CCTV and ANPR FAQs.

Information about cameras, plate recognition, recording, remote viewing and entrance integration.

What is the difference between CCTV and ANPR?

CCTV provides general viewing or recording. ANPR uses a dedicated camera and software to read suitable vehicle number plates and create searchable or access-related events.

Can ANPR open an automated gate or barrier?

Yes, where compatible equipment and suitable control logic are installed. Recognition should form part of a properly designed entrance system, not replace gate or barrier safety devices.

Will ANPR read every number plate?

No system can guarantee every plate in every condition. Results depend on speed, angle, distance, lighting, weather, plate condition and obstructions.

Can you repair existing CCTV or ANPR equipment?

Yes, subject to equipment condition, safe access, compatibility and parts availability. Provide the manufacturer, symptoms and sample images where possible.

Can I view entrance cameras on my phone?

Suitable connected systems may support authorised app or browser viewing, subject to internet access, accounts, manufacturer services and secure configuration.

How long can CCTV footage be stored?

Storage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, recording mode and disk capacity. Retention should also reflect the operator’s lawful purpose and data-protection responsibilities.

Does ANPR work at night?

Suitable equipment can operate at night, but camera positioning, headlights, illumination, approach angle and plate condition materially affect results.

Can CCTV cover both the gate and pedestrian entrance?

Yes, using suitably positioned cameras and fields of view. A dedicated plate camera and a wider overview camera often serve different purposes.

Do I need CCTV signs?

The site operator should assess applicable UK data-protection and signage requirements based on who is recorded, the purpose and the location.

Do CCTV and ANPR systems need maintenance?

Yes. Lenses, housings, mounts, illumination, cabling, networks, recorders, storage and time settings should be checked appropriately.
