Homeowner Association Access Made Easy with License Plate Scanning
Seamless Access, Enhanced Security
Managing car access to homeowner associations has never been easier. With Inex’s Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system, residents and their guests can enter using just their license plates. Designed specifically for communities with gated or garage entrances, our system is already trusted by numerous satisfied customers across the USA. And with our latest features, we’re bringing even more convenience to your front gate!
Not a Police System – Here’s How We’re Different
Think of our system as a friendly, high-tech gatekeeper – not a surveillance tool. Unlike police systems that aim to spot criminals, the Inex system is all about welcoming known vehicles and keeping out the unknown. The system identifies recognized license plates, including those belonging to residents, guests, and temporary vehicles, granting access only to authorized vehicles and keeping out unauthorized ones. Additionally, you can set up alerts for tailgating and other unauthorized access attempts and review the detailed log of vehicles that have approached the property.
While other systems might automatically send the data of community residents to various police agencies or even marketing or insurance companies, raising privacy concerns, Inex’s system does not share the vehicle data. It’s all about ensuring security and convenience for you – no surveillance vibes.

Manage the List of Allowed Vehicles with Ease Using Access Control for HOAs
Our cloud-based system keeps the list of allowed vehicles up-to-date and synced with entrance cameras. It’s designed to keep things simple and secure, minimizing the administrative work of the HOA management company. We provide several options for managing the list:
- Integrate with Your Existing Systems: Many HOA management platforms can now store and manage license plate scanning data, syncing with our system.

- Pin-Pad Codes: Distribute single-use or reusable codes that convert to license plates after the first use.
How Many Cameras Do You Need?
- At least one camera is needed per entry point.
- Front vs. Rear Plates: Front plates are easier to read as they are never occluded, but not all states issue them. For example, California? Use front-plate cameras. Pennsylvania? Focus on rear plates.
- Two Cameras, Better Coverage: Using a front and rear camera ensures no plates go unread, maximizing accuracy.
- Track Exits Too: Keep track of vehicles present at the property at any time, monitor guest stays, and manage the number of cars per homeowner.
