Being able to identify license plates quickly and automatically is a great advantage to many businesses and organizations for a wide variety of applications including security, crime detection, traffic management and even automatic payment systems (example: for parking lots). It is only recently that the technology has really come of age and the systems HOA Technology install not only provide exceptionally reliable results, but can do so at acute angles, in any lighting conditions and, most importantly, at high speed.
