Feature overview

What vehicle recognition covers.

ANPR / plate reading

Real-time licence plate recognition tuned for Nigerian, South African, Kenyan, Ghanaian, Rwandan, Egyptian and other African formats.

Vehicle attributes

Type, colour, approximate make/model. Used as supplementary identifiers and for forensic search.

Plate watchlist matching

Suspect-vehicle watchlists, fleet-vehicle access, resident-vehicle gate management. Real-time alerts on match.

Direction of travel

Detect inbound vs outbound at gates, lane discipline, wrong-way-driving alerts.

Dwell & presence

Per-vehicle dwell time in zones — useful for parking, loading bays, yards.

Audit-grade event log

Every plate read, every match, every gate event is timestamped, attributed, and audit-logged.

Use cases

Where vehicle recognition pays off.

Residential estates

Resident-vehicle gate access

Corporate

Staff & visitor parking management

Plate-based parking allocation, after-hours access, executive-parking enforcement.

Logistics

Yard & fleet tracking

Per-vehicle yard presence, dwell-time analytics, fleet-utilisation reporting.

Banking

Executive & armoured-vehicle tracking

Recognise armoured vehicles arriving and departing, executive vehicles, and any suspect vehicles on watchlist.

Retail / Mall

Parking-flow analytics

Live parking occupancy, peak-time flow analysis, suspect-vehicle alerts in parking decks.

Government / public

Restricted-area enforcement

Plate-based access to restricted compounds, government car parks, and secure perimeters.

Frequently asked

Vehicle recognition FAQ.

Does Sorveo's ANPR work with African plate formats?

Yes. Specifically tuned for Nigerian, South African (current and historical), Kenyan, Ghanaian, Rwandan and Egyptian formats. Custom plate-format support is also available.

What's the accuracy of plate recognition in real conditions?

In good capture conditions, accuracy typically exceeds 95% character-level. Partially fouled plates, extreme angles, and night-time conditions reduce this. Free pre-deployment placement assessments maximise accuracy.

Can Sorveo recognise vehicle attributes beyond the plate?

Yes — type, colour, approximate make/model. Used as supplementary identifiers and for forensic search.
