Frequently Asked Questions

For more frequently asked questions about ALPR+ and other Sighthound solutions, check out our Frequently Asked Questions page.

  • For license plates, it provides:

    • License plate detection

    • License plate recognition (alphanumeric strings)

    • License plate region recognition (US states, Canadian provinces/territories, and European Union countries)

    For vehicles, it provides:

    • Vehicle detection

    • Vehicle recognition (make, model, and generation)

    • Vehicle color recognition

  • Yes. Sighthound’s software does not need the license plate to be visible for determining vehicle information. Using our vehicle detection technology coupled with Make, Model, Color, and Generation (MMCG) recognition capability, we can provide details about the vehicle even if the license plate is not present.

  • For vehicle recognition, our models are trained for cars sold in the US, Canada, and EU markets. For license plate recognition, our models can read any alphanumeric plate no matter what part of the world the plate is found in.

  • Although Sighthound’s ALPR+ can work with almost any IP camera, it is recommended that the appropriate camera be used given the use case. For example, most IP cameras should work fine with an access control use case since the speed of vehicles is relatively low. However, a specialized LPR camera is recommended when dealing with fast-moving vehicles (i.e. highways).
