PlateSmart is the recognized industry leader in Automatic License Plate Recognition ( ALPR ) technology . The company ’ s suite of products has won multiple industry awards including three consecutive Govies awards in 2014 , 2015 , and 2016 . PlateSmart has taken the lead in moving ALPR beyond its traditional role in law enforcement into counter-terrorism , business intelligence , and more through its disruptive industry-first software-only technology and affordable pricing structure .
ARES , PlateSmart ’ s flagship product , represents the culmination of ALPR technology that encompasses both fixed-location and mobile deployments . As a software-only ALPR solution , ARES does not require any proprietary hardware to function and works with a wide variety of readily available offthe-shelf cameras . This makes ARES not only the most versatile , but also the most cost-effective ALPR technology on the market . Competing systems require dedicated processing hardware and proprietary cameras , which makes them expensive to purchase , difficult to deploy , and even more costly to upgrade . ARES has overcome all of these challenges with PlateSmart ’ s wholly-owned technology , resulting in a powerful enterprise ALPR solution that is unparalleled in its affordability and ease of deployment . ARES utilizes the exclusive PlateSmart ALPR engine , which performs true image analysis of fullcolor video images .
