ANPR Cameras

Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is a technology for automatically reading vehicle number plates. The Home Office states ANPR is used by law enforcement agencies in the UK to help detect, deter and disrupt criminality including tackling organised crime groups and terrorists.

Vehicle movements on UK roads are recorded by a network of 11,000 cameras that submit around 50 million ANPR "read" records to national ANPR systems daily.
