Plate Gate

Residential complexes, business centres and private car parks need to know which cars come and go — but off-the-shelf ANPR systems are expensive, closed and locked to one vendor's hardware. Most sites already have IP cameras on the gates; they just record video nobody watches.

And before any system is trusted to open a barrier, its accuracy has to be proven on the site's own cameras, angles and lighting — headlights at night, glare, infrared switching — not on a vendor's demo footage.

Plate Gate connects to existing RTSP cameras and runs fully on-premises on open-source models. A YOLOv9 detector finds plates, a tracker follows each car across frames, and an OCR model reads every frame; voting across the whole track turns dozens of noisy reads into a single, confident event per pass, validated against Ukrainian plate formats.

The web portal shows a live journal with a photo and a short video clip of every pass, who is parked right now and for how long, anomalies worth checking, a registry of owners and their cars imported from Excel, and the health of the server and every camera. Operators can verify reads, and a built-in evaluation tool measures real accuracy by day, night, entry and exit.
