Security Spy and ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reading)?

Rocco

I recently read about the openALPR project and have started thinking about how I might be able to incorporate this into my Security Spy setup. Has anyone played with this yet?

Hi Rocco, this looks very interesting, however I don't think we would be able to implement it in SecuritySpy ourselves due to licensing restrictions. It would in theory be possible to obtain a video stream from SecuritySpy's web server and feed it into this library for analysis, though this would require a certain amount of work to achieve.

I thought that licensing might be problematic- maybe I'll be able to figure out something that runs periodically on my saved movies. That is, assuming I can figure out how to download and compile it. Thanks!

So nothing like reviving a 2 year old thread...But...

Hey - I did this (very simply and rudimentary right now - it parses motion-captured stills for plate inventory and maintains a log and state file) but check it out. Let me know if I can help with it.

For someone who really would like to do this ! Can anyone explain in easy steps how to achieve this? The code still seems to be avail but with little explanation of how to implement and get it working?

You can give Plate Rec ANPR (https://platerecognizer.com) software a free test drive. You can see a comparison against OpenALPR (https://platerecognizer.com/better-than-openalpr).

We use this at the entrances of our neighborhood. https://safepassagesolutions.com/safepassage-alpr/ . They have this software-based alpr too. Although it's definitely not free. lol. I heard plate reco is a good option tho!

Howdy, Stranger!
