Seamless access with ANPR

Let registered vehicles open gates automatically—add numberplates for staff or customers directly from your rental software.

How it works

Simple steps, fast access

1

Vehicle approaches

Drives towards the ANPR camera at normal entry speed.

2

Plate recognised

Camera reads the numberplate and checks it against the live access list.

3

Access decision

Registered plates trigger the gate immediately. Unrecognised plates are logged and denied.

4

Gate opens

Vehicle enters. Event recorded with plate, timestamp, and gate location.

Why it matters

Security that adapts to your operation

ANPR changes what a self-storage gate actually is — from a bottleneck into something tenants barely notice. For operators with commercial customers, tradespeople, or e-commerce sellers making multiple visits a day, stopping to scan or type a code at every entry adds up fast. ANPR removes that friction entirely for registered vehicles. It also underpins unmanned operation: if your site relies on gate staff to let delivery vans through, you've capped your opening hours at theirs. With ANPR, vehicles on the access list drive straight in — day or night, staffed or not. Combined with numberplate-plus-QR as a two-factor method, you also get vehicle-level authentication without issuing fobs or app accounts.

Hands-free gate entry

Registered vehicles drive straight in — no stopping to enter a PIN, scan a code, or tap a fob.

Syncs from rental software

Add a numberplate in Stora, Space Manager, or Kinnovis and it's active at the gate within seconds.

Handles partial reads

The ANPR engine tolerates dirty or partially obscured plates — reducing false denials in real-world conditions.

Full vehicle audit trail

Every entry and exit is logged with numberplate, timestamp, and gate — useful for disputes or security reviews.

Staff vehicles supported

Add staff numberplates directly — no need to issue fobs or set up app accounts for delivery drivers or contractors.

No traffic queues

Gate opens before the vehicle stops — throughput is limited by the gate mechanism, not the access check.
