Automatic Number Plate Recognition gate entry is the ultimate in hands-free access control. A camera mounted at the gate entrance reads the number plate of approaching vehicles and cross-references it against a whitelist of registered plates. If the plate matches, the gate opens automatically. The vehicle never needs to stop, the driver never needs to reach for a remote, and the gate opens before the car arrives at the threshold.

ANPR systems have dropped significantly in price over the past five years and are now a realistic option for residential London properties as well as commercial sites. The camera and processing unit are weatherproof and designed for continuous outdoor use. Plate recognition works in all lighting conditions, including darkness with infrared illumination. Most systems maintain an access log with a timestamped image of every plate read, whether authorised or not.

Our London installers work with several ANPR providers depending on your requirements and budget. Residential systems start from around £1,500 fully installed and are ideal for households with two or more regularly driven vehicles. Commercial systems with multiple camera positions, vehicle tracking, and integration into site security management platforms are also available through our commercial installer network.

Why Choose

Why Choose ANPR Gate Entry Systems

Completely Hands-Free Entry

Drive up to your gate and it opens. No remote, no app, no button. The gate is open before you reach it and closes automatically behind you.

ANPR cameras use infrared illumination for night reading and are IP67 weatherproof. Rain, fog, and low light do not affect recognition accuracy on a quality system.

Timestamped Vehicle Access Log

Every plate read — authorised or not — is logged with a timestamp and image. The access log is invaluable for security review and can be used as evidence in the event of an incident.

Scalable to Multiple Cameras

Start with a single entry camera and expand to cover exit, car park, or secondary access points. Multiple cameras share a single management platform and access database.

ANPR Gate Entry Systems FAQs

Quality ANPR systems achieve greater than 98% recognition accuracy in good conditions. Accuracy drops slightly in adverse conditions — heavy rain, very dirty plates, unusual plate fonts, or plates positioned at extreme angles. Most systems have a fallback access method (keypad or intercom) for the rare cases where the plate is not read correctly.
Yes. Most ANPR management platforms let you add a plate to the whitelist with an expiry date and time. A contractor plate can be granted access for a specific week, a guest plate for a weekend visit, and both are automatically removed when the window expires without any manual deletion.
The gate itself follows normal permitted development rules — under 2 metres tall on most residential properties without a formal application. The ANPR camera is typically mounted at gate post height and does not require separate planning permission. However, if your camera captures images of public areas beyond your boundary, you may have GDPR obligations around CCTV signage and data retention. Your installer will advise on the specific requirements for your installation.
