A week ago, we launched a monthly endless drawing of a video surveillance kit from HikVision for 29,733 rubles . Go through and see if you need such goodness, participate monthly kit is waiting for its owner monthly.
The idea was liked not only by us, not only by those who decided to participate, but also by our partners from the FF Group, they have been developing license plate recognition systems for more than 10 years.
And we're jointly launching an endless giveaway of three dual-channel licenses every month. This means that every month we will randomly select three winners , each of whom can choose any software developed by FF Group and receive one two-channel license.
Below the cut is a detailed description of the software and the conditions of the drawing.
Endless lottery license plate recognition software
Every month we will give away licenses for any license plate recognition software developed by FF Group. All the software that you can win is detailed below.
What are we playing?
Software for recognizing license plates on an IP camera , the winner receives two licenses for installation on two IP cameras, respectively, of his choice:
- Axis TraFFic CaMMRa ANPR (2 licenses)
- SERVERLESS ANPR (2 licenses)
- Hanwha EDGE ANPR (2 licenses)
License plate recognition software on the server , the winner receives one duh channel license
- NumberOK Lite - 1 dual channel license
- NumberOK Lite MMCR - 1 dual channel license
- NumberOK SMB - 1 dual channel license
- NumberOK SMB MMCR - 1 dual channel license
- NumberOK Enterprise - 1 dual channel license
NumberOK SMB Meta server software aggregating data from ANPR cameras , and NumberOK Reporter client software, the winner receives one license
- NumberOK Reporter - 1 license
- NumberOK SMB Meta - 1 license
Each month, we will select three winners, each of whom can choose to receive one of the ten prizes listed above.
Why exactly two licenses? This is one of the most common configurations, one license is used for license plate recognition at the entrance, the second at the exit.
Although, of course, the range of application is much wider, and even two licenses can be used in a completely different way.
Why is the draw endless and how will we determine the winner?
On each last day of the month, we will summarize and randomly determine the winner. Those. now July 2020, to determine the July winner, we will take all the comments that were written on this video from July 22, 2020 to July 31, 2020 and randomly select one comment, the author of which will become the winner.
Next month, we will take all the comments that were written on this video from August 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 and randomly select one comment, the author of which will be the winner. And so on ad infinitum.
How to understand that the rally is valid?
If you can watch this video, then the promotion is valid and you can participate. On the last day of the month in which you watch this video, we will summarize and announce the winner.
How do I get involved?
There are three conditions: subscribe to our YouTube channel, like this video and write any meaningful comment on this video.
What are license plate recognition systems for?
If you are reading this, then you probably already imagine why this software can be useful for you. But perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised, because among all the technical means of ensuring security, the recognition system is one of the most effective.
Crime Prevention
You probably know that in the early 90s, statisticians in most developed countries of the world recorded a significant decrease in crime to 70-80 percent. The reason for which, as criminologists would later establishwas the widespread introduction of technical security systems. There are many types of security systems, and it is obvious that the effectiveness is different for everyone. If you analyze the effectiveness of various security systems (video surveillance, burglar alarms, etc.), then you will find that the greatest efficiency is found precisely in traffic control systems.
A systematic review of 2016 convincingly shows that traffic control systems lead to a decrease in: average speed (7%), the proportion of vehicles exceeding the permitted maximum speed (52%), an overall decrease in collisions (19%), collisions leading to injuries (18%) ), and a reduction in fatal collisions (21%) compared to areas without speed cameras.
And if traffic violations are decreasing significantly, but predictably, then the accompanying decrease in crime , mainly property crimes, turned out to be more of a pleasant surprise.
Although, if you think about it, this surprise is generally logical, because according to the International Association of Police Chiefs ( IACP ), vehicles are used in 70% of all violent crimes in the United States.
Automation of business processes
Automation of business processes of traffic management allows you to transfer simple and not very routine tasks under software control.
For this, FF Group has a full set of solutions - server-side, number recognition on an IP camera, software clients, a software backend for accumulating data from different sources and a cloud cherry on top for serious guys.
Profit - increasing profits, saving time, increasing the efficiency of processes, improving scalability.
What can modern license plate recognition systems from FF Group do?
FF Group license plate recognition systems have long gone beyond the actual character recognition on a license plate. And, probably, it would be more correct to call them systems of analysis and management of traffic flows.
Possibilities of FF Group software products:
- License plate recognition (it was, is and will remain forever)
- Recognition of the country that issued the license plate
- Region recognition

Features common to all FF-Group products
All software products manufactured by the FF Group have a number of key characteristics that are important for most customers.
Key features
- Recognition of license plates in Russia, CIS countries, Europe and the world
- Recognition accuracy not less than 95%
- Recognition speed 10-70 ms
- Recognition at car speeds up to 240 km / h
- Video sources - RTSP (H.264 / MJpeg)
Integration opportunities
- Integration through screenshots of events in the name that contain all the information about the car
- NumberOK series server products can receive a video stream for license plate recognition from Mobotix cameras due to the integration of the MxPEG video codec into the software.
Integration with access control systems
Integration with software for video surveillance systems (VMS)
- VMS Milestone Systems
- Wave VMS
Barrier control
FF Group software can control barriers, automatic gates, bollards and others through:
- Icp Das PET-7060
6- 32 6- web . ModBUS / TCP, /. Ethernet.
- Modbus
NumberOk Modbus, .
- Camera
relay outputs ( AXIS and Hanwha cameras) via OnVif protocol
The actuator is connected directly to the relay outputs of the IP camera, which are controlled by software from the FF Group.
Reports
Reports are generated in the program interface and can be downloaded as an xls spreadsheet.
General reports operate on all recognition events and can be generated according to the selected filters:
- by time period;
- by recording channel / recognition zone;
- by owner;
- by group;
- by number or part of a number;
- in the direction of travel.
Email notifications
Without control, reactions and corrections on the part of a person, any system is just a black box, which is not clear how it works and whether it works at all.
Email notifications about events on your system are a good way to keep your finger on the pulse.
There are many scenarios for how this functionality can be used. For example, as soon as a blacklisted car tries to enter a closed area, the software sends a message by mail to the person in charge, who can quickly respond.
At the same time, the software can automatically generate reports on customized reactions to analyze the perimeter control by periods (day, week, month).
Software for license plate recognition on the server
For many years, server-side recognition was uncontested, i.e. the camera or video recorder was connected to a server (computer) and the analytics for recognizing license plates was performed on the server. This task is processor-intensive, so there were no options. All FF Group server software products are united in the NumberOK series.
Simplified scheme of server license plate recognition
It was expensive, not very convenient in terms of scaling, but there was no alternative.
For many years of use, the software has become truly convenient, and has acquired a bunch of additional functionality. It is still an affordable and reliable option. The license is tied to the computer hardware during activation.
Server software system requirements
NumberOk requires 1 CPU core with two threads for 1 recognition channel (the most powerful operations are video decoding and license plate recognition). Multiple processors can also be used to collect the required number of threads. The picture is clickable

NumberOK SMB
One of the most functional examples of server software samples from the FF Group.
Designed to manage business processes of small and medium-sized enterprises through a license plate recognition system.
The software has a number of built-in business logics, checkpoint, vehicle access control system, parking, car wash and service station, as well as a flexible module for reactions to events.
Also NumberOK SMB is able to determine the direction of traffic. Wide possibilities for integration with external software.
NumberOK SMB software includes all functions of NumberOK Lite.
Flexible module of reactions to various events
Depending on the events that are recorded in the software, you can configure these or those reactions.
Events - a recognized license plate, a license plate from a certain group (for example, a blacklist), a license plate recognized in a certain zone, the car is moving in a certain direction, the car has been in the territory for more than a specified time, the number of cars in the territory is more than a specified number.
Reactions - visual (change the color of the line), sound (play a sound file), close the relay, display a pop-up window, send an e-mail message.
Built-in business logic
Checkpoint (Checkpoint)
Scope of application - checkpoints of enterprises, adjoining territories of apartment buildings, hotels, camp sites and other areas closed for general passage.
The system allows only cars from the "white" list to the parking lot, the ability to restrict the passage of cars from the "white" list to the territory only on certain dates or upon payment, or to allow access for a specified period.
Capabilities:
- Connection of barriers, gates, bollards
- Connection of induction loops, safety photocells
- Access for cars from the white list only, or access for all except cars from the black list.
- Access by date, time and day of the week
- By the number of entries / exits
Car wash
Scope of application - car washes, service stations (STO). NumberOK SMB software allows you to receive reliable information (regardless of the person) about the number of serviced cars and the duration of the service. Allows you to identify and prevent abuse by staff.
Capabilities:
- Counting the number of cars that were washed for any period
- Control over the duration of car wash
- Control over 6 types of vehicles that enter the car wash (car, SUV, van, truck, bus) that enter the car wash.
Parking
Scope of application - paid parking, parking lots, parking of shopping centers (SEC). Counting all cars on the territory, entering them into the database and automatically calculating the parking time for each car. Calculation of the total number of parking hours provided to customers and an estimate of the profit received. Control of free parking spaces.
Capabilities:
- Calculates the duration of stay on the territory
- Displays all cars that are in the parking lot at the moment
- Automatically passes and releases all cars that are in the territory less than a specified time.
Checkpoint, parking, car wash - these are the most common standard solutions, in reality you can use the software functionality to flexibly configure the logic you need.
Dual control
The dual access control function will help parking lots optimize their work, make it more organized and safer.
It works very simply, when entering into the car database, you enter not only the registration number, but also the brand of the car. And only if these two parameters coincide, the car will be able to enter and exit.
That is, if someone wants to print, for example, on paper, a license plate and stick it to their car to enter or leave, then if the make of the car does not match, this trick will not work. This is certainly not a silver bullet that solves all security problems, but definitely another good point in the piggy bank of increasing the complexity of deceiving the system.
What NumberOK SMB cannot do compared to Enterprise:
- Average speed between any 2 cameras
- Passage detection on red
- Current speed by software from one camera
- Violation of movement in the lane of public transport
Additional equipment
In order to use NumberOK SMB you may need additional equipment. It is possible that you have something, or even all of the following. This does not have to be a new purchased equipment, of course you can and should use the existing one, but most importantly, it should be.

NumberOK Reporter
Software client for all server versions of NumberOk software. NumberOk Reporter receives data from remote objects, processes events in real time and displays them to the operator on the computer monitor. NumberOk Reporter generates reports in a convenient format and according to the specified parameters (event, database, event date). Geographic coordinates of the event are also transmitted along with the message, so NumberOk Reporter displays the location of the event on linked maps.
Also, the operator can set the playback of sound alarms when receiving messages about various events (recognition, checkpoint, parking, violation of the frequency of travel), followed by a demonstration on the map. Alarm messages appear as a pop-up window with a snapshot of the event and detailed descriptions linked to the recognized license plate.
Main functions:
- Displaying events on the map (maps are loaded separately)
- Reception of events (configured reactions on servers) from numbers (there can be up to 10) in real time
- Entering license plates into the server software database (work with one database at a time)

Comparison of NumberOK software capabilities
License plate recognition software for IP cameras
Historically, using license plate recognition meant using expensive server hardware that was complex, expensive, and limited scalability.
Why is recognition on an IP camera more profitable than a server one?
- "Light" data packets are transmitted to the server instead of "heavy" video stream
- Network infrastructure is not loaded
- Ability to leverage existing network infrastructure
- A 3G modem is enough for data transfer
- Ability to work without a server
- Unlimited scalability and upgrades
- When installing new IP cameras, there is no need to buy a new server or increase the capacity of an existing one.
This is the future of license plate recognition, very soon, all recognition will be just like that.
Serverless ANPR Application
Appendix Serverless ANPR for IP-chambers Wisenet X and Wisenet X Lite, is ideal for small objects with multiple entrances / exits or carriageways.
Serverless ANPR Capabilities on XNO-L6080R Cameras

Axis TraFFic CaMMRa ANPR
TraFFic CaMMRa is an ACAP application for Axis IP cameras that installs and runs directly on the camera. Those. license plate recognition is performed on the IP-camera, by installing the recognition application in the firmware, and does not depend on the connection with the server, its power and other points.
Installing the application directly on the camera removes the load from the servers. Thus, for the system, you can purchase much less powerful, and therefore more budgetary server models, or completely abandon them using the Limbio Primm cloud service.
The TraFFic CaMMRa application is primarily intended for collecting traffic information for smart city or safe city projects. All data collected by TraFFic CaMMRa can be aggregated on any platforms for managing smart cities and can be transferred to any other government databases.
Also, data from government databases can be transferred to TraFFic CaMMRa. For example, databases of stolen cars or databases that are used to analyze traffic violations or issue fines.
TraFFic CaMMRa features
- License plate recognition (recognition time: 100-400 milliseconds)
- Recognition distance up to 240 meters in daylight, and up to 40 meters at night

The main application of TraFFic CaMMRa:
These are large infrastructure projects, such as - Safe city, petrol stations (gas stations), traffic monitoring on roads, toll roads, ports, airports.
Both the license plate and the rest of the data are recognized on the Axis IP-camera. The metadata obtained as a result of recognition is sent to NumberOK Meta or Limbio Primm cloud service. And it is NumberOK Meta or the cloud that will manage barriers, the logic of passage and, of course, accumulate data that can be used in the future to build all kinds of analytical reports.
And here complex logic is already available, for which NumberOK Meta software or a cloud service will be responsible.
TraFFic CaMMRa can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure, and if necessary, the system can be expanded almost indefinitely by simply adding new IP cameras with the TraFFic CaMMRa application installed.
Standalone Mode
Only used by TraFFic CaMMRa and Axis IP cameras. All settings are made in the application, and the barrier or other devices are controlled using the relay outputs of Axis IP cameras.
This option is ideal for parking lots and parking lots of apartment buildings, as it is easy to set up and does not require server equipment. And legendary reliabilityCameras at Axis turns this into a story from a set and forget series. The only important point is that each application works autonomously, i.e. complex logic of work which requires the use of events from multiple cameras is not available here. For complex logic, you need an additional NumberOK Meta.
In stand-alone mode, TraFFic CaMMRa is most often used for parking lots, checkpoints, fuel dispensers, shopping malls.

Limbio Primm cloud service
Limbio Primm not only collects data from ANPR cameras on which the license plate recognition software is already installed, but also analyzes them with the provision of reports according to the parameters specified by the client.
ANPR cameras transmit recognized license plates and other data to Limbio Primm for further analytical processing (traffic statistics, average interval of their movement, etc.).
With the help of Limbio Primm, you can also build more complex integration solutions based on license plate recognition, analyze data using statistical analysis methods in accordance with the client's tasks.
Limbio Primm is designed for use in large projects, the cost of use depends on the final functionality.
conclusions
The software products from the FF Group company are good, and when it comes to reliable recognition on an IP camera, they have almost no alternative.
Naturally, "are good and have no alternative", words that even make me skeptical, so if I were you, too, I would not take my word for it. Fortunately, our site has a short overview of 15 more notable Russian license plate recognition software developers . And after you have read it and come back, here is a link for you where you can order NumberOk license plate recognition systems. Digital licenses are provided on the same day. Special conditions for installers.
