PlateKey

Frictionless vehicle access with edge LPR.

PlateKey is an edge‑processing license plate reader that treats vehicles as credentials—capturing photos, logging events, and granting entry automatically for approved plates.

Edge: local plate match + fast relay Audit: vehicle photo + timestamp Deploy: standalone (typical) • optional EntryCore

Why PlateKey

When the vehicle is the credential, entry becomes effortless—and security becomes more accountable.

Zero‑stop entry

Residents, staff, and VIPs drive through without fumbling for remotes, apps, or codes.

Photo audit trails

Each event can include a high‑resolution vehicle photo—ideal for incident review and compliance documentation (including denied attempts).

Edge processing

PlateKey performs the full license‑plate decision loop locally for speed, then syncs high‑resolution evidence to the cloud for auditing and AI analytics.

  • Capture plate from live video
  • Parse characters (OCR) on‑device
  • Match against the local plate list (up to 50,000)
  • Actuate the gate relay immediately (typical)
  • Optionally fall back to cloud match + schedule checks

Gate control options

PlateKey is designed to act as a true edge‑processing gate reader: it can detect, parse, and match plates locally, then actuate a vehicle gate immediately using its onboard relay.

Optional: For deployments that require a UL‑listed access control unit to perform final actuation (jurisdiction / AHJ dependent), PlateKey can be integrated as a credential input into EntryCore so EntryCore performs final actuation.
