📸 How License Plate Cameras Help Communities Stay Safe

LPR cameras are specialized cameras that capture and log the license plates of vehicles entering and exiting a property. They use advanced optics and infrared to capture readable plate images day or night—even at high speeds or in poor weather.

We often use the Uniview LPR 2MP ANPR Bullet Camera for projects requiring plate recognition. These cameras offer high resolution, fast capture rates, and built-in analytics for license plate data extraction.

🚨 The Real Security Benefits

1. Crime DeterrenceVisible surveillance—especially at gates—discourages unwanted visitors and criminal activity.

2. Faster InvestigationsIf there’s a break-in, theft, or suspicious vehicle, LPR footage makes it easy to identify who came and went, and when.

3. Enhanced Access ControlLPR can be integrated with automated gates and smart access systems like PDK, allowing pre-approved vehicles in while logging every entry.

🛠 Rancho Laguna Mobile Estates: A Real-World Example

In early 2025, Ameritechs partnered with Rancho Laguna Mobile Estates to overhaul their outdated surveillance system. As part of the project, we installed high-resolution LPR cameras at both primary vehicle entrances.

The result?

• Unwanted activity dropped almost immediately. Residents reported fewer loiterers and suspicious vehicles.

• A major dumping incident was resolved in days. Management used LPR footage to identify a non-resident vehicle illegally leaving debris by the dumpster.

• Community trust increased. Residents appreciated knowing that every vehicle coming in and out was recorded, especially at night.

Combined with Uniview cameras at the clubhouse, laundry room, and pool areas, the LPR system helped the community feel safer and more secure—with no need for full-time guards or expensive monitoring services.

✅ Where LPR Cameras Work Best

We recommend installing LPR cameras:

• At all vehicle entry and exit points

• Near gates or perimeter roads

• At critical intersections within the property

• Along the main driveways or visitor parking areas

The key is proper placement, clear line-of-sight, and fine-tuned settings for speed and lighting. At Ameritechs, we custom-design each solution to the layout and needs of the property.
