Visitor License Plate Recognition (LPR) for Gated Communities

Visitor License Plate Recognition (LPR) allows residents to authorize guest vehicles before they arrive, eliminating the need for printed passes, QR codes, or stopping at the gate. Residents simply add a visitor’s license plate when creating a guest pass, and Proptia automatically associates the plate with that visitor. When the vehicle arrives, the LPR camera recognizes the license plate, validates it against the visitor database, and can automatically open the gate for authorized visitors. For communities with staffed guardhouses, Proptia can also automatically activate a visitor’s license plate during their first check-in, allowing future visits to be processed through License Plate Recognition without requiring the resident to know or enter the plate in advance.

Digital ePasses for Gated Communities

Proptia allows users to quickly issue digital ePasses for entry into manned and unmanned gates. The app generates unique access codes that are secure, personalized, and never recycled.
