ALPR Solutions by PlateSmart for Law Enforcement and Commercial Use Cases
Learn how PlateSmart’s Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) solutions support public safety, law enforcement operations, business intelligence and customer experiences—along with expert insights to help you plan and deploy ALPR effectively.
CORE ALPR SOLUTIONS
Public Safety & Law Enforcement
For law enforcement, vehicles are often the fastest path to answers. PlateSmart’s ALPR solutions help agencies move from raw plate reads to investigative clarity—quickly, safely, and at scale.
Rental Car - Fleet Management
Managing fleets is about knowing where vehicles are—and where they get stuck. Our ALPR solutions provide visibility across operational choke points without tracking vehicles once they leave your property.
Big Box Retail - Operations & Security
Retailers use ALPR to deter organized retail crime, deter repeat offenders, and improve parking-lot safety. The same system also supports curbside pickup and arrival-based workflows.
OTHER USE CASES
Critical Infrastructure & Border Security
Ports, borders, and secure facilities use ALPR to maintain full visibility of vehicle movement without disrupting operations. Each entry & exit is documented and available for audits, alerts, and investigations.
Perimeter Security & Access Control
ALPR shifts perimeter security from reactive response to early awareness. Authorized vehicles are recognized instantly while vehicles of concern trigger alerts before incidents escalate.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals use ALPR to boost safety by adding vehicle awareness without friction. Security teams gain better incident documentation, staff access automation, and early threat identification.
Educational Institutions
ALPR helps campuses monitor vehicle access, manage events, and accelerate investigations across large, open grounds without creating a fortress-like environment.
Hospitality Industry
Hotels and resorts can use ALPR to streamline arrivals, valet operations, and parking while improving site-wide visibility. Returning guests and VIPs can be recognized without manual intervention.
Quick Service Restaurants
In high-volume QSR environments, seconds matter. ALPR can help operators optimize vehicle-driven customer flow, and gain insight into on-site traffic patterns that impact speed, safety, and staffing.
Gas Stations
Gas stations and convenience stores are frequent targets of crime, especially during late hours. ALPR can act as both a visible deterrent and an investigative tool against theft and repeat offenders.
Car Washes
Car washes face recurring issues around theft, misuse, and access control. ALPR can provide a simple way to tie vehicles to usage and behavior while improving security and optimizing vehicle flow.
