License plate recognition offers a host of benefits for HOA Access Control:
1) Convenience for Residents: Residents benefit from shorter wait times at the entrance to the community as they drive in by license plates. The gates open within a second.
2) Automated Vehicle Identification: Instead of manually scanning or checking visitor passes, an LPR camera quickly identifies a vehicle by its license plate number. This speeds up entry for residents and authorized guests and prevents unauthorized vehicles from slipping in.
3) Real-Time Updates: With accurate vehicle data in real time, you can ensure that only up-to-date information is used for granting or denying access. This is particularly important for rentals, leases, and employee access.
4) Reduced Costs: LPR-based access control solutions eliminate the need for RFID tags or physical tokens, which can cost residents over $50 per tag and require replacement whenever a vehicle is changed.
