For distribution centres and logistics depots
Every trailer that came through the gate.
A distribution site runs on a gate, a yard and a row of bays. The useful record is which vehicle was where, and when.

The situation
A load is disputed. A trailer is parked in the wrong bay for six hours. A vehicle comes through the gate out of hours. The yard is big enough that nobody saw any of it, and the gatehouse log is a clipboard.
What VISEC does about it.
- Plates at the gateA camera at the entrance logs every vehicle plate with a time and a snapshot, which turns the clipboard into something searchable.
- The loading baysMotion recording on each bay, so what was loaded and when is on record.
- The yard and the aislesWide views across the yard, plus internal aisles if the warehouse needs them.
- One screen, many camerasSixteen to a hundred or more cameras is typical, with installations running up to around 200 on suitable hardware, and views spread over several monitors.
What you need
The kit, plainly.
A plate camera at the gate aimed flat at the plate with infrared beside the lens, wide cameras over the yard and a camera per bay. A quad-core PC with a large drive, and an Nvidia GPU if the gate is multi-lane.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with 8 GB of memory. The installer is about 30 MB and roughly 200 MB once installed. For the AI features a graphics card with 4 GB and DirectX 12 is recommended, preferably Nvidia; without one VISEC uses the processor. Everything included
Questions
Before you set it up.
Can it handle a multi-lane gate?
Yes. Megapixel multi-lane plate reading is supported, and a GPU is what makes several lanes at once comfortable.
Can the gate open automatically?
For a known plate, yes, where the camera has output terminals - through ONVIF or Axis camera I/O.
Can plate readings go into our own system?
Yes. Readings can be passed out to a third-party or remote database for matching against your own records.
