Mobile license plate recognition and enforcement

Does mobile LPR require special cameras?
icon

Vert’s approach runs mobile LPR on compatible Apple and Android phones or tablets, reducing reliance on specialized camera installations.

Can Vert's mobile LPR work for both vehicle and foot patrols?
icon

Yes. Mount your phone on your vehicle for drive-through patrols and simply remove your phone and continue scanning by foot in locations where a vehicle cannot conveniently access.

How much does mobile LPR cost?
icon

Vert's mobile LPR system is included in Vert's platform subscription. There is no additional cost for mobile LPR access.

Is smartphone LPR accurate enough for parking enforcement?
icon

Yes. Vert's mobile LPR is built for enterprise parking enforcement and has demonstrated measured plate-read accuracy that is at least on par with, and in many cases exceeds, traditional fixed and vehicle-mounted LPR systems. By leveraging the latest smartphone camera technology together with our continuously improving AI models, Vert delivers highly accurate, real-time license plate recognition without the cost or complexity of specialized hardware.

Can one mobile LPR device serve multiple properties?
icon

Yes, since the mobile LPR is available through your smartphone, patrol can occur anywhere your smartphone can go. Whereas a fixed camera is permanently installed in a single location and vehicle-mounted LPR on dedicated patrol vehicles are tied to the vehicle, a software-first system is easier to move among properties and across site locations. It's also not tied to a specific smartphone device, just have any patroller in any location download the app, sign in, and begin scanning.

Why combine LPR and enforcement software?
icon

Combining LPR and enforcement into one platform reduces plate re-entry, tool switching, stale context, and missing evidence. It also gives appeal and reporting teams a more complete record.

How long does mobile LPR deployment take?
icon

Vert's mobile LPR can deploy in minutes. Just download the app on any smartphone, sign in, and begin scanning.

What equipment does a smartphone mobile LPR team need?
icon

Just a compatible smartphone, a mount for the phone, and optionally a supported printer if printing violations.

Can Vert issue both digital and printed parking violation notices?
icon

Yes. Vert supports digital violation notices and printed violation notices through compatible Zebra mobile thermal printers.

Can a patroller review prior violations before issuing a parking ticket?
icon

Vert provides violation-history context so patrollers can apply the appropriate warning and escalation policies.

Does Vert manage parking violation payments and appeals?
icon

Yes. Parking violation payment and appeal workflows are included as part of Vert’s connected enforcement framework.

Can Vert issue a parking violation notice as soon as mobile LPR sends an alert?
icon

Yes. After the patroller reviews the alert and confirms the approved action, Vert can issue a digital violation notice or print a physical violation notice without moving into a separate enforcement product.

Does Vert require a separate LPR provider?
icon

No. Vert provides smartphone-based mobile LPR on compatible Apple and Android devices as part of its platform.

Why does an integrated platform reduce cost?
icon

It can reduce the need for separate software licenses, integrations, hardware layers, implementations, support relationships, training, and reconciliation.
