Visy ANPR

Recognizing plates from over 80 nationalities – automatically, accurately, and without triggering hardware

Solutions and products Software Add-ons Visy ANPR
AI-powered recognition that keeps getting smarter. Supporting 80+ nationalities and counting.

Visy ANPR is an in-house developed license plate recognition software powered by deep learning. Built and refined over decades, the software has reached exceptional recognition accuracy across a wide range of vehicle types, plate formats, and environmental conditions. Supporting over 80 nationalities, Visy ANPR is deployed globally – at border crossings, container terminals, ports, industrial facilities, and logistics centers.

A key differentiator is Visy’s built-in Virtual Trigger technology, which eliminates the need for external triggering hardware such as ground loops or laser scanners. The software detects and triggers recognition events automatically from the video stream, reducing infrastructure requirements and simplifying installation significantly. Visy ANPR is available as a software license for integration with existing camera hardware, or packaged together with Visy camera hardware as a complete ready-to-deploy solution.

Features

In-house license plate recognition software
Visy ANPR is developed entirely in-house, giving Visy full control over the recognition engine and enabling continuous improvement based on real-world deployment data.

Built-in virtual triggering
Visy Virtual Trigger is built directly into the ANPR software, detecting vehicles and initiating recognition events automatically from the camera feed – with no ground loops, laser scanners, or other external triggering hardware required. This significantly reduces installation complexity and infrastructure costs.
Market leading recognition accuracy
Decades of continuous development and real-world data from global deployments have resulted in exceptional recognition accuracy across varying lighting conditions, weather, vehicle speeds, and plate conditions. Deep learning algorithms ensure the system keeps improving over time.
Supporting 80+ nationalities
Visy ANPR recognizes license plates from over 80 nationalities, making it suitable for international border crossings, ports handling global traffic, and multinational logistics and industrial operations worldwide.
Deployment options

The software is available as a standalone license for integration with your existing camera infrastructure, or packaged together with Visy camera hardware as a complete ready-to-deploy solution.

AI vision technology for vehicle recognition that works – wherever you operate, whatever the conditions.

Every system is configured to fit your operations.
