Smart Vehicle Access & Parking Control Platform
ANPR Guardian is an intelligent vehicle access and car park management solution developed by Engineer M8 Ltd, designed to seamlessly integrate with Hikvision ANPR cameras and vehicle barriers via ISAPI.
The system automates entry and exit control, captures licence plate data, and validates access using AI-driven whitelist/blacklist verification. It can also enforce parking rules, log site activity, and provide audit reporting through the Engineer M8 Cloud Portal.
ANPR Guardian supports:
• Real-time event handling via Hikvision ISAPI and HTTP POST notifications
• Automatic barrier control based on plate authorisation
• Remote management of the ANPR Camera
• Cloud-based whitelist and visitor management
• Secure logging of entry/exit events with timestamp and vehicle image
• Optional integration with SmartPark 360 for hotel and retail parking
This integration enhances automation, reduces manual intervention, and provides data-driven insights into vehicle movement, access control, and operational efficiency.
