ANPR for Construction Sites
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology is a game-changer for construction site security, offering an advanced, automated solution for tracking vehicle movements, enhancing site safety, and reducing unauthorised access.


At VIS Systems, we are pleased to introduce ANPR solutions, tailored to the needs of UK construction sites, ensuring seamless security integration and comprehensive monitoring of all vehicle activity.
ANPR is a surveillance technology that is able to read vehicle registration plates. This ability to capture, process, and record vehicle movements, allows for real-time monitoring in and out of your construction site.
Our ANPR Key Features
- Plug and Play – Effective plug and play solution that fully integrates with VIS workforce and delivery management software.
- Vehicle Tracking – Data and insight to track vehicle activity.
- Smart Match – A unique feature of our cloud delivery management software, allowing vehicles to be granted access to your construction site even if the ANPR camera misread the number plate.
- Advanced Analytics – Our cloud software will provide advanced data such as seeing your busiest construction site periods.
- Whitelist/Blacklist – Reduce construction site threats by instantly alerting security to known vehicles of interest.
ANPR Technical Specification
- High Definition – 4 MP HD camera with max. 2688 × 1520 resolution and 25 fps frame rate.
- Low Illumination – High quality imaging with 1/3" progressive scan CMOS. 0.022 lux low illumination with clearer imaging at night.
- Supplement Light – Embedded with 9 bright LED lights, the device has smart supplement light technology, which supports supplement light control according to time and brightness.
- Multiple Trigger Modes – Supports triggering via video, loop, radar, etc. It provides high capture rate and recognition via video. It can capture vehicles without license plates, and the capture rate is higher than 99.9%.
- Anti-vehicle Following Mode – Supports anti-vehicle following mode via video and radar/loop. The boom pole can keep rising in vehicle queue scenario to solve the congestion.
- Ingress Protection – The surface of the host adopts anti-UV and electrostatic spraying, and the level of dustproof and waterproof meets the requirements of IP54 for outdoor devices.
ANPR Reporting
Our cloud delivery management software can provide informative reports for you, including:
- Contractor Vehicle Analytics – Detailed reports tracking how your contractors commute, providing clear visibility into travel patterns.
- Attendance Tracking – Intuitive time and attendance reports designed for seamless payroll integration.
- Vehicle and Site Utilisation – Strategic insights into peak operational periods and vehicle usage to optimise your business resources.
- Real-Time Site Occupancy – Instant, comprehensive view of on-site personnel with one-click access.
Why Choose ANPR for Construction Site Security?
Construction sites face unique security challenges, from theft and vandalism to unauthorised site access by those that may be untrained. With this kind of risk factor, there is no time to waste in getting a secure mechanism in place.
Traditional security measures often fall short when there are multiple vehicle entries to manage, and managing them effectively is critical.
That is why, at VIS Systems' ANPR technology addresses these issues by providing automated access control, ensuring every vehicle entering the site is accounted for and approved.
Using ANPR reduces reliance on manual gatekeeping, enhancing efficiency by allowing pre-approved vehicles seamless access. Not only that, but manual gatekeeping is simply another expense that you just don’t need or want, so why not make the job more efficient with a longer standing reliable solution?
As mentioned briefly, our ANPR system also integrates with VIS Systems' Delivery Management solution, ensuring that deliveries are scheduled and monitored with precision.
Subcontractors and suppliers can pre-book delivery slots to be reviewed and approved by a site manager, reducing congestion and optimising site regiment.
With built-in advanced analytics, our ANPR system also supports site management by providing insights into vehicle activity, peak traffic times, and site occupancy. These data-driven insights help construction managers just like you make informed decisions based on security, operational efficiency, and compliance with environmental regulations.
How ANPR Works
VIS Systems' ANPR cameras utilise high-definition imaging and intelligent recognition software to identify vehicle plates instantly.
These cameras are strategically positioned at site entry points, ensuring accurate reads even in challenging weather conditions or low-light environments.
With 4MP HD resolution, embedded LED lights for enhanced visibility, and anti-vehicle-following technology, our ANPR system guarantees high capture accuracy.
One of the key benefits of the construction site APNR at VIS Systems is its ease of installation. Unlike traditional ANPR systems that require extensive infrastructure, our advanced cameras can be mounted directly on barriers, bollards, or entry gates without the need for additional columns.
This significantly reduces installation time and costs while maintaining the highest security standards.
In addition to its robust security features, VIS ANPR provides reporting and tracking capabilities.
The system logs every vehicle's entry and exit, generates real-time alerts for unauthorised access attempts, and compiles detailed reports on vehicle activity, including visit frequency, time spent on-site, and parking occupancy.
The modern nature of ANPR means you can keep track of everything, protecting your site during any disputes or the concerning of particular individuals' whereabouts. With this technology, you can see precisely who’s coming in and out, even when there is no staff on site.
ANPR Automatic Barriers
At VIS Systems, we provide automatic rising arm barriers designed to enhance security and control vehicle access. Having been tested to exceed 2,000,000 cycles, these barriers are an ideal solution for construction sites, ensuring controlled entry and exit while reducing unauthorised access.

The SSB 8000 ECO integrates cutting-edge electronic programmable controls, allowing seamless interaction with even the most complex security systems. Built-in loop detectors ensure smooth operation, while the reverse-on-contact feature provides enhanced safety, preventing accidental damage to vehicles and personnel.
The sleek, modern design offers flexibility with round or elliptical boom arms, both fitted with protective rubber along the bottom for additional safety.
At VIS Systems, we offer comprehensive security solutions, from installation to ongoing support, ensuring your access control measures remain strong and efficient throughout the project lifecycle.

For maximum efficiency, our barriers work in conjunction with our Delivery Management System, ensuring controlled site access while maintaining accurate delivery scheduling and carbon reporting.

Integration with VIS Systems Security Solutions
The true power of ANPR lies in its integration with a wider security ecosystem.
VIS Systems' ANPR technology is fully compatible with our cloud-based security solutions, enabling construction managers to monitor and control site access remotely.
Our ANPR solution works in conjunction with the VIS Delivery Management platform, allowing site managers to oversee scheduled deliveries and track vehicle movements in real time. This integration ensures a smooth flow of vehicles on-site while maintaining stringent security protocols and deterrents.
With features such as whitelist and blacklist capabilities, the system automatically grants or denies access based on pre-set security settings set by you.
This is particularly useful for preventing so-called ‘repeat offenders’ or cars that you know shouldn’t be on site from entering the site. Our Smart Match technology further enhances security by allowing access even if a number plate is slightly misread, reducing unnecessary delays without ever compromising on safety.
