License Plate Recognition for Industrial Sites
acty.dev builds camera-based license plate recognition for gates and entry points at industrial sites, piloted on your own footage before rollout and delivered as a timestamped read log tied into your existing access-control or logging setup, with uncertain reads flagged for a person to review rather than acted on automatically.
We build camera-based license plate recognition for gates and entry points at industrial sites, delivered as a timestamped read log tied into your access-control or logging system. Every setup starts as a pilot against your own gate footage or existing CCTV, in a cloud or on-premises setup, validated against an agreed control sample and acceptance thresholds before it moves into a full rollout. Uncertain or unmatched reads are flagged for a person to review, not acted on automatically.
The problem we solve
Industrial sites often track vehicle entry and exit by hand: a paper logbook at the gate, a guard calling plates in over radio, or no record at all. That makes it slow to check who was on site during a given window, hard to catch a vehicle that shouldn't be there, and inconsistent across shifts and guards.
How we work
- Task review.We review your gates, yard, or entry points, the vehicles or vendors you need to track, and any camera coverage or access-control and logging systems already in place, then agree the event set to capture, a control sample, and the allowed miss and false-positive rates before any build starts.
- Pilot on your footage.We run plate recognition against your own gate footage or existing CCTV, in a cloud or on-premises setup, and validate reads against the agreed control sample, latency, and notification format, with uncertain or unmatched reads flagged for human review rather than acted on automatically.
- Integration and rollout.Confirmed reads are tied into your access-control or logging system, the integration is confirmed, and the setup moves from pilot to a full rollout across the agreed gates or entry points, or is handed off with placement and configuration notes for your own team or installer to complete.
- Document and support.We hand over a log-review process and tuning notes, and offer ongoing support or a retainer for further sites or changes to the setup.
What you bring / what you get
Inputs
- Sample gate footage or existing CCTV access for the pilot
- Your gate, yard, or entry-point layout and camera constraints
- Any vehicle or vendor list to match plate reads against
- The access-control or logging system already in place, if any
Outputs
- A piloted license plate recognition setup validated against agreed acceptance thresholds
- A timestamped log of plate reads tied into your access-control or logging system
- A review path for unmatched or uncertain reads
Definition of done.A license plate recognition pilot validated against an agreed event set, control sample, and allowed miss and false-positive rates, with confirmed reads integrated into your access-control or logging system and documented for rollout across the agreed gates or entry points.
Fit and anti-fit
Good fit
- Industrial or manufacturing sites logging vehicle entry and exit by hand
- Buyers who need implementation and delivery, not just advice
Not a fit
- Public parking or toll-enforcement requests outside an industrial site
- Micro-budgets with no defined scope
Questions
- What does license plate recognition include?
- Camera-based capture of vehicle plates at your gates or entry points, piloted against an agreed control sample and acceptance thresholds, then delivered as a timestamped log tied into your access-control or logging system, with unmatched or uncertain reads flagged for review.
- Why use camera-based plate recognition instead of a manual gate log?
- A paper logbook or radio call-in is slow and inconsistent across shifts. Camera capture gives a consistent, timestamped record of vehicle entry and exit that you can review after the fact.
- How does the pilot work?
- We agree the event set, a control sample, and the allowed miss and false-positive rates, then run plate recognition on your own gate footage or existing CCTV in a cloud or on-premises setup, confirming the integration into your access-control or logging system before any full rollout.
- What is out of scope?
- We do not claim a fixed read-accuracy rate or take on public parking or toll-enforcement work. This stays scoped to industrial site gates and entry points.
- What do you need from us to start?
- Sample gate footage or existing CCTV access for the pilot, your gate or entry-point layout and any camera placement constraints, a vehicle or vendor list to match against if you have one, and details on any access-control or logging system already in place.
- How is this priced?
- Small scoped tasks can start from a few hundred dollars. Larger multi-gate coverage and ongoing retainers are scoped after a task review.
- Can it integrate with our existing gate or barrier hardware?
- We review what you already have during the task review and scope the integration from there. We do not assume a specific hardware setup in advance.
