Pro-Vigil’s License Plate Recognition (LPR) solution was created to provide more insights to your site. Using dedicated LPR cameras positioned at entry and exit points, the system automatically records license plates and ties each read to a specific date, time, and location. The result is a searchable record of vehicle movement that supports investigations, access review, and accountability inside the Pro-Vigil portal.
Instead of manually reviewing hours of footage, teams can quickly learn which vehicles were on site at a specific time. Across industries, that information changes how incidents are handled. Below are four common use cases.
Multi-Tenant Office: After Hours Access
A multi-tenant office building began experiencing repeated after-hours access issues in its parking lot. Pro-Vigil’s remote video monitoring cameras were already in place, actively deterring unauthorized individuals and responding in real time. However, when property management needed to determine which vehicles were entering and exiting the facility during specific timeframes, reviewing footage slowed investigations.
By installing LPR cameras at garage entry and exit points, the team gained a searchable record of vehicle activity tied to date and time. When incidents occurred, they could quickly identify vehicles on site and provide relevant information to law enforcement if necessary. RVM handled real-time security response, while LPR improved follow-up investigations and strengthened oversight of garage access.
Construction Yard: Vehicle Insights on the Jobsite
A large construction yard storing heavy equipment and materials experienced recurring unauthorized vehicle traffic after hours. Pro-Vigil’s remote video monitoring cameras were deterring trespassers and escalating when needed, however, when equipment was moved or materials were disturbed site managers needed better insights into which vehicles had entered the yard during specific windows of time.
With LPR cameras installed at the yard entrance, the team could review vehicle activity by date and time and compare it against delivery schedules and subcontractor access. Rather than manually reviewing hours of video, they could quickly identify vehicles that were present and focus their investigation. RVM addressed security incidents as they occurred, while LPR delivered the vehicle intelligence needed for accountability and documentation.
Laydown Yard: Oversight of Industry Equipment
A laydown yard storing high-value, oversized equipment began seeing increased vehicle traffic after hours. Pro-Vigil’s remote video monitoring system was already providing real-time detection and deterrence, but managers needed clearer records of which vehicles were accessing the yard during certain times, especially when equipment was relocated or materials went missing.
By adding LPR cameras at the entrance, the team gained a searchable vehicle record tied to date and time. They could confirm whether vehicles belonged to approved vendors, scheduled deliveries, or subcontractors without manually searching through hours of video footage. RVM continued to manage live response, while LPR reduced uncertainty around vehicle access and movement.
Auto Dealership: After-Hours Lot Security
An auto dealership with a large outdoor lot experienced increased after-hours activity, including vehicles being entered and occasional parts theft. Pro-Vigil’s remote video monitoring cameras were already issuing live audio warnings and escalating when necessary. Still, management needed a more efficient way to determine which vehicles were entering and exiting the lot overnight.
With LPR cameras installed at lot entrances, the dealership gained a structured record of vehicle movement tied to date and time. When incidents occurred, staff could quickly identify vehicles that accessed the property and share relevant information if needed. RVM addressed suspicious behavior in real time, while LPR supported faster investigations.
The Value of LPR Combined with Remote Video Monitoring
LPR is built to provide insights on what vehicles access your site and when they are onsite in an easy-to-search portal. However, LPR alone is not enough for businesses. Remote video monitoring focuses on real-time detection and deterrence, and when used together with LPR, the two systems serve distinct but complementary roles.
RVM helps identify and respond to suspicious activity as it happens with LPR creating a structured record of vehicle movement that supports follow-up investigation. Together, they provide both immediate response and documented insight into how a site is being used. For sites where vehicle insights matter, that combination delivers insight and prevention before, during, and after an incident. Reach out to your Pro-Vigil account team to add LPR now!
