If you need additional details on the camera installation side of LPR (and VSP), please make sure to review the Camera Installation Considerations for LPR/ANPR Application Note (AN033). There is also an Application Note (AN034) for the configuration of LPR titled,  Configuring LPR in the Eagle Eye VMS.

The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS allows for the use of License Plate Recognition (LPR) as a subscription service. This AI-based technology developed specifically by Eagle Eye Networks allows for any compatible model of camera to become a specialized LPR capable camera. The Eagle Eye VSP (Vehicle Surveillance Package) is a prerequisite for the use of LPR. Once enabled, capabilities include; logging, tracking, alerts, and searching for vehicles captured by this Analytic within the VSP Dashboard. 

Eagle Eye LPR, when combined with Brivo Access, offers the ability to use License Plate Credentials to automate access to parking facilities by using LPR technology to read the license plate and grant access to authorized vehicles (or send alerts for non-authorized vehicles).

In the access control world, credentials are what get you into secured areas. Physical badges, keyfobs, or mobile credentials are all common examples. For Brivo and Eagle Eye customers, an additional option is to use a vehicle’s license plate as the credential. The License Plate Credential process is further explained below:

Registering a License Plate on the Brivo Access Platform

Users enroll the license plate into the Brivo Access platform. The entered license plate is then converted to a credential and saved in the Brivo Panel for verification.

Eagle Eye LPR Reads the Vehicle License Plate and Sends it to the Brivo Panel

Eagle Eye LPR runs on the Bridge/CMVR and license plate reads are converted to a credential and sent to the Brivo Panel via OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol). 

The integration between Eagle Eye and Brivo is local, ensuring that access control works even in the event of an internet failure, and updates directly to the Eagle Eye Cloud when the internet resumes. 

Brivo Verifies the Credential and Opens the Gate 

Upon receipt of the credential from Eagle Eye, Brivo then verifies the credential - if it's an authorized credential, it opens the gate as an authorized credential.
