LPR camera
A plate-reading camera with supplemental light for Thai plates by day and night, mounted on a post or bracket at the right angle.
License plate recognition by site type
Choose an LPR setup by site type. See the equipment, functions and what to prepare before a site survey.
- Suited to
- Condominium juristic persons, apartments, dormitories, serviced residences
- Typical lanes
- Usually 1–2 entry and 1–2 exit lanes with a guard booth
01
Condominiums & apartments
Keep residents and visitors clearly apart, and update tenants easily
What this site type usually needs
- Frequent move-ins and move-outs need fast plate add and removal
- Visitors should get temporary passes that expire on their own
- The management office needs a record to refer back to in a dispute
Functions we can set up
- Link plates to units and import lists in bulk
- Visitor passes by QR or LINE with an expiry time
- Guards can open the barrier manually when needed, and the override is logged
- Export entry and exit reports for the committee
Equipment in this setup
LPR cameraBarrier gateManagement software & reportsVisitor pre-registration (QR / LINE)Display & voice promptCCTV image linkVehicle detection & safety sensors
Worth preparing before a survey
- Number of units and parking bays, including motorcycles
- Number of entry and exit lanes and each lane's width
- Existing barriers and guard booth
- Suited to
- Detached homes, villas, gated townhouses, small to mid-size villages
- Typical lanes
- One lane for a single home; 1–2 entry and exit lanes for a village
02
Private homes & villages
A single home opens for family cars without a remote; a village separates residents from guests
What this site type usually needs
- Owners want convenience: no getting out or carrying a remote
- Guests and deliveries must get in at allowed times
- Villages want a record of unfamiliar vehicles entering
Functions we can set up
- Single home: link the existing gate motor, open for registered plates, notify by phone
- Village: resident lane separate from guests, several plates per home
- Guest invitation link sent by LINE with an expiry time
- Entry and exit images and times kept for the village committee
Equipment in this setup

Worth preparing before a survey
- Existing gate or barrier type (sliding, swing, arm) and motor brand
- Where a camera can be mounted and power or network near the gate
- Number of homes and lanes (villages)
- Suited to
- Factories, warehouses, industrial estates, distribution centres
- Typical lanes
- 1–4 wide lanes, separating cars, trucks and loading lanes
03
Factories & warehouses
Trucks, containers and contractors: know who came and went, and when
What this site type usually needs
- Trucks and tractors carry varied plates and must be read in dust, rain and glare
- Drivers and contractors should pre-register to cut waiting at the gate
- Entry and exit data must flow on to weighbridge or in-house systems
Functions we can set up
- Fence-arm barriers or a link to sliding gates for wide lanes
- Pre-booked trucks and contractors with permitted time windows
- Export data as files or link to weighbridge or ERP within the project scope
- Dust- and water-protected housings, and backup power for critical points

Worth preparing before a survey
- Vehicle types, speed through the gate and peak periods
- Weighbridge or in-house software to connect
- Network or fibre run length and power at the gate
- Suited to
- Office buildings, malls, hotels, hospitals, commercial car parks
- Typical lanes
- Multiple entry and exit lanes, peak-hour traffic, reporting and audit needs
04
Offices, malls & hotels
Monthly tenants and hourly visitors share the same entrance without a jam
What this site type usually needs
- Separate monthly tenants, hotel guests and hourly visitors
- Calculate fees and merchant or hotel discounts
- Cars must clear quickly at peak times, with reports for accounts
Functions we can set up
- Monthly-tenant rights tied to the plate, no card needed
- Time-based fees, validation stamps and QR payment within the project scope
- Optionally add bay guidance or vehicle counting where the site needs it
- Link to access control and lifts, subject to the equipment on site

Worth preparing before a survey
- User categories for parking and the current fee rules
- Number of entry and exit lanes and peak periods
- Existing payment or ticketing equipment to keep or replace
The building blocks of an LPR system
Each site uses a different subset. Models and brands are confirmed against the site and the integration needs.
Barrier gate
Straight-arm, fence-arm or folding-arm barriers chosen by lane width and headroom, or a link to an existing sliding or swing-gate motor.
Management software & reports
Allow-lists, watch-lists, time-stamped logs with images, search and export, and administrator permissions.
Visitor pre-registration (QR / LINE)
Residents or staff create a pass in advance with an expiry date and time, shortening queues at the booth and reducing card swaps.
Display & voice prompt
Shows the plate, access status and driver messages, with optional voice prompts.
Fee calculation & validation stamp
Time-based parking fees, merchant validation of discounts, and QR payment within the project scope.
CCTV image link
Pull the wider view of the vehicle and people at the gate alongside each event so staff can verify clearly.
Vehicle detection & safety sensors
Loop, radar or photocell sensors that stop a barrier from lowering onto a vehicle and handle cars following closely.

The four site types side by side
| Topic | Condominiums & apartments | Private homes & villages | Factories & warehouses | Offices, malls & hotels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main users | Residents, tenants, guests | Family, guests, deliveries | Trucks, contractors, staff | Monthly tenants, hotel guests, hourly parkers |
| Setup emphasis | Plates tied to units, guest passes expire themselves | Opens for registered plates, phone alerts | Wide lanes, pre-booking, data sent to other systems | Fees, merchant discounts, QR payment |
| Common add-ons | Visitor QR / LINE passes | Link to the existing gate motor | Fence-arm barrier, dust-proof housing | Bay guidance, vehicle counting |
