Hi friends,

 

What are the best software solutions for ALPR or LPR (licence plate Recognition) available in the market with cost effective models.

Depends on two things, do you have more time or more money? If you are a good C++ developer, you can write your own for free using open source LPR components. You can't beat free.

 

If you have money instead of time and skills, the cheapest I've see is $50 as a plugin for iSpyConnect. Have no clue how good it works but it's as good as iSpyConnect, don't get your hopes up. The least expensive commercial solution I found is from Geovision, about $800 per camera + NVR license costs but people in the business says you get what you pay for. I use Milestone LPR, it's $1,300 + 300 for the library + 99 per camera for NVR license and it works well for me after weeks of tweaking.

 

If you need a cheap LPR camera, let me know, I have one good for about 30-50' that I made from a Hikvision eyeball camera.
