    The challenge

    Start with the constraint.

    A controlled entrance needed to recognise authorised vehicles automatically while still giving an operator a quick way to admit temporary visitors.

    02

    The approach

    Make complexity local.

    1. 01

      Integrated a Dahua traffic camera as the ANPR sensor at the entrance lane.

    2. 02

      Connected recognised plate events to a backend allowlist and barrier access decision.

    3. 03

      Built a mobile flow for adding a visitor plate before the vehicle arrives.

    4. 04

      Kept camera credentials behind the backend while providing a protected live view for operators.

    03

    The outcome

    Authorised vehicles can be recognised at the lane and admitted automatically, while temporary plates can be registered from the operator app.
