Security Systems · ANPR
Automatic number plate recognition that reads every vehicle in and out, matches it against your watchlist, and triggers barriers, alerts or lockdowns in real time, with no one in a gatehouse checking plates by hand.
The problem
A barrier that opens for anyone who asks, or a gatehouse logging plates by hand, isn’t real vehicle control.
Handwritten or verbal vehicle logs are slow and easy to get wrong.
Without automatic capture, there’s no reliable log of which vehicles came and went.
Manual checks slow every vehicle down, especially at busy loading bays and shift changes.
Without automated matching, an unrecognised plate can drive straight through.
Vehicle access sitting apart from CCTV and access control misses obvious connections.
Paper logs can’t easily produce the reports that compliance checks or investigations actually need.
How it works
From the camera reading the plate to the barrier lifting, the whole sequence runs without manual intervention.
Purpose-built ANPR cameras read every plate in and out, tuned for accuracy across weather, speed and lighting conditions.
Every plate is checked instantly against your permitted, flagged or blocked vehicle lists, across every lane and gate.
Recognised vehicles go straight through, flagged ones trigger an immediate alert, and every movement is logged for reporting.

Why Arana
We’re a specialist integrator, not a call-centre-scale vendor. You deal directly with senior engineers from the first site survey onwards, and with a team that takes the time to understand how your organisation actually operates.
Speak with the engineer who set up your cameras and vehicle lists, not a support queue starting from zero.
New gates, lanes and vehicle lists are added in days, not weeks.
Camera positions and matching rules set around your gates and traffic, not a generic layout.
The team that installs your ANPR is the same team accountable when a vehicle needs tracing.
Tell us about your gates, yards or car parks and we’ll show you what full ANPR automation looks like.
