License Plate Recognition
Know Every Vehicle on Your Property — Before It Becomes a Problem.
Clear Watch License Plate Recognition (LPR) captures and logs every vehicle — then puts that plate to work across your entire security platform: opening gates for the right vehicles, flagging the wrong ones, and handing investigators the record that closes cases.
Vehicles commit most commercial crime. They case the property, carry the crew, and haul away the loss — and in the dark, at distance, on a moving target, conventional cameras give you a blurry shape and a shrug. Even providers that sell LPR usually sell it as a standalone logging tool: a database of plates nobody looks at until after the loss, disconnected from the monitoring that could have acted in the moment.
The Problem
Why License Plate Recognition From Clear Watch is Different
Every plate, captured and logged.
Purpose-configured LPR captures plates day and night, at entry speeds, in weather — automatically logged with time, direction, and location, with vehicle-context imagery alongside.
A plate that triggers action, not just record.
This is the difference. Clear Watch LPR is wired into the live platform: a plate can open a gate for an approved vehicle, alert Clear Watch Central to a banned or suspect vehicle, and attach vehicle identity to any incident the AI detects. Competitors log plates; Clear Watch acts on them.
Watchlists that work while you sleep.
Known offenders, banned visitors, terminated employees, vehicles from prior incidents — flagged the moment they enter, with operators verifying and responding in seconds, up to and including digital 911 dispatch.
Evidence that holds up.
Time-stamped plate records tied to video make the difference in police investigations, insurance claims, and banned-party enforcement. When an officer asks “did you get the plate?” — you did. Every time.
Identify across the platform.
The same plate read powers Gate Access Control, informs Remote Concierge vehicle verification, and enriches People & Vehicle Counting. One capture, working everywhere.
Where LPR Earns Its Keep
Know Every Vehicle That Enters — and Flag the Ones That Come Back.
The industry's biggest LPR use case. Every vehicle that rolls onto your lot is logged automatically — and when a plate shows up again, you know about it before it becomes a problem.
Residents Flow Through. Unknown Vehicles Get Logged and Challenged.
Recognized resident vehicles pass without friction — unknown plates are logged automatically and flagged for review or live operator challenge when access rules require it.
Every Trailer and Tractor Tied to a Timestamped Record at the Gate.
Know exactly which vehicles entered, when they arrived, and when they left — automatically creating a timestamped gate record for every trailer and tractor without manual check-in.
Connect the Vehicle to the Incident — Every Time.
From organized theft crews to parking disputes, LPR ties a plate to a time and place — giving you the documentation to support police reports, insurance claims, and trespass enforcement.
