License Plate Capture (LPC)

What is license plate capture (LPC)?

License plate capture (LPC) is the ability of a security camera to record clear, readable images of vehicle license plates, even in challenging conditions like low light, high speeds, or bad weather. LPC cameras use specialized lenses, infrared illumination, and fast shutter speeds to reduce motion blur and glare from headlights. Businesses use LPC for security, access control, and parking management, ensuring accurate vehicle identification for law enforcement, gated facilities, and retail loss prevention.
