Use cases

One API, Every Gate and Lot

Anywhere a vehicle passes a camera and a decision follows — entry, billing, enforcement, or audit — the same API call powers it. Here is how teams put it to work.

Ticketless entry, exit, and billing

Parking Operators

Replace ticket machines and manual checks with automatic plate recognition. Vehicles are identified the moment they arrive, sessions open and close themselves, and billing follows the plate — no barriers queues, no lost tickets.

  • Ticketless entry and exit — no queues at the barrier
  • Automatic subscriber and whitelist verification
  • Pay-by-plate billing tied to the session
  • Real-time occupancy per zone and full audit trail

Typical workflow

01Entry camera snapshot
02POST /v1/detect
03Session opens, barrier lifts

Resident access without fobs or clickers

HOA and Gated Communities

Match arriving vehicles against your resident list in real time and open the gate automatically. Visitors get time-limited passes tied to their plate, and every entry and exit is logged with a photo.

  • Resident whitelist enforcement at every gate
  • Visitor pre-registration by plate number
  • Full photo-backed log of every entry and exit
  • No transponders, stickers, or fobs to manage

Typical workflow

01Gate camera snapshot
02POST /v1/detect
03Match resident list, open gate

Recognize returning customers instantly

Valet and Car Wash

Identify a returning vehicle the moment it pulls into the lane — pull up the membership, the wash package, or the valet ticket without asking the driver for anything. Brand, model, and color come back in the same call, which makes retrieval and lot management easier.

  • Membership and loyalty recognition with zero friction
  • Ticketless valet — the plate is the ticket
  • Vehicle brand, model, and color for faster retrieval
  • Works with a phone camera or existing CCTV

Typical workflow

01Lane camera snapshot
02POST /v1/detect
03Look up membership, greet by name

Verify and locate vehicles at scale

Fleet, Repo, and Logistics

Track fleet vehicles through depots and client sites, verify the right truck is at the right dock, or scan lots and streets against a target list. A dashcam frame or a phone photo is all the API needs.

  • Depot entry and exit tracking for every fleet vehicle
  • Target-list matching for repossession workflows
  • Delivery verification at pickup and drop-off
  • Batch processing of recorded footage frames

Typical workflow

01Dashcam or phone frame
02POST /v1/detect
03Match target list, alert agent

Permits and enforcement across buildings

Property Management

Manage tenant and visitor parking across a portfolio of buildings. Patrol staff photograph plates on a walk-through, and the API checks each vehicle against permits — flagging unauthorized vehicles and overstays automatically.

  • Permit verification from a simple phone photo
  • Unauthorized vehicle and overstay detection
  • Per-building rules from one integration
  • Evidence trail with image, plate, and timestamp

Typical workflow

01Patrol photo
02POST /v1/detect
03Check permit, flag violation

Reconcile transactions against reality

Toll and Access Audit

Run archived camera frames through the API and compare recognized plates against your transaction or access logs. Cross-check the vehicle itself — brand, model, color — against the registration to catch mismatched or swapped plates.

  • Batch audit of historical camera footage
  • Plate-to-vehicle cross-check catches swapped plates
  • Confidence scores make review queues efficient
  • Structured JSON drops into your existing reporting

Typical workflow

01Archived frame
02POST /v1/detect
03Compare with transaction log

Ship LPR features without an ML team

Parking Startups and Integrators

Building parking, mobility, or access-control software? Add plate recognition with one REST call instead of hiring a computer-vision team. Start on the free tier, ship the feature, and pay per request as your customers grow.

  • 150 free API calls per month to build against
  • One REST endpoint — no models to host or train
  • Confidence scores let you design honest UX
  • On-premise option when your customers demand it

Typical workflow

01User uploads photo
02POST /v1/detect
03JSON lands in your backend

Integration

The Same Four Steps, Every Use Case

Whether you run one gate or a hundred lots, the integration is identical.

01

Get an API Key

Start on the free tier — 150 calls a month, no credit card required.

02

Capture an Image

Phone camera, IP camera snapshot, or a frame from existing CCTV — any JPEG, PNG, or WebP works.

03

POST to /v1/detect

Send the image with your API key. Get back plate text, country, confidence, position, and optional car analysis.

04

Act on the JSON

Open the gate, start the session, flag the violation — your rules, our recognition. Sub-200ms, 99.9% uptime SLA.
